Default New guy here

Hey, whats up fellas? Thought I would register with the site and drop a line and say hey to Nine Ball. I am from Lake Charles, La, and went to Houston with my girl the other day. We went to the art museum, autoshow, and to MTI. I have been wanting to put either a Magna Charger or one of Andy Green's Procharger set ups in my 2k3 MY Z06. Well the MTI guys must have been too busy for me I guess, but Tony asked it I needed any help. I didn't know he didn't work there, but he walked me around the shop and let me look at the different rides and hood applications for the roots blower. He was very helpful and friendly. On my way in the shop I had noticed a badass anniversary SS out front. Well it turned out to be Tony's ride, so we went and checked it out. Awesome ride -- what a nice car. Then he told me about his '69 SS project. I love the first generation Camaros (I had a '67). Then he tells me he owns LS1tech, and has the card and everything. I told him he was da man! I have been a lurker her for a couple of years. I am a member of a few other vette forums. Anyway, Tony, thanks for the help and information the other day, and great web site.

Thanks fellas. Actually, dfarmercse, I bought a house in Sulphur several years ago, althought I am from Lake Charles. I see your sig says you eat ricers. LOL, there sure are a lot of 'em here, which seems ironic for such a redneck-cajun town. It's fun messin' with 'em though. Hey BigBronco, I see you have a '69 fastback. I love the fastbacks, I had a '67, but sold it last year.
