Cool I'm baaaaaaaaack! ;)

For those of you who even remember me at all, that is. :-)

So I'm back with a little news. Since the last time I was here I got a billet grille and a little better at driving. I'm also picking up a set up Jet-Hot LTs next week (after I got beat by a turbo Integra ) and my buddy w/ the 6.0 GTO is going to do the same. We are also thinking of getting a tune @ Speed Secrets the same day, if Ellis is willing to put up with two more blue cars around the shop

the frowny face was after the selling the car bit, not the moving in with the g/f bit... haha

Rott, WHY on earth are you selling the car? I LOVE NBM T/As...

If I had the $$$, I'd buy it myself but I'm stuck in lowly LT1 territory for now. Oh well, at least I'll have some LTs soon.

No, I try not to take advice from a guy who has been divorced more times then I have had decades in my life and looks at women as trash to use, abuse and throw away. Not my style and personally, aside from occasional humor, he doesn't impress me in the slightest.

Why? Cuz I go thru cars every couple years and this one is way overdue. I hate not having new cars and since this one is 5 yrs old give or take, it is time to get something else.

Looking at several things, GTO, Tahoe, who knows. Not a Z06. I don't have 70+ grand to drop on a car nor would I if I did (right now anyway). Just kinda seeing what's out there and going from there........

Exactly She's my WIFE. I married her when I was 35, I'm 39 now.

But back on topic, are you really selling your car too?

But everytime someone sells one, someone buys one.

Besides, I HATE kittens/cats so it ain't no skin off my nose.........I will have contributed to the death of 10 cats when this car goes.

Yeah well I saved 3 kittens a few years ago that I found behind a dumpster downtown, so I can sell 2 f-bodies and still make it out on top, right?
