I will only be there till mid september then I leave for Iraq and my wife is going to sell my car while I am gone so I want to spend as much time with my car as I can before I go. So I just looking for some info for the guys and girls up there. thanks

Just watch this forum, we usually post up a thread every time we're gonna get together, or whenever there's a track event.

Hey man welcome! So why sell the car?

Well, it is my wife's idea. I don't really want to but her thought is that I should sell it so that we don't have to pay that 300 dollars a month plus insurance and when I get back I can get another one but I just don't know how hard it will be to find another TA that I like. I know that it took me two months and I had to drive 250 miles one way to get the one that I have. I will be looking for an 98 and up ta with a six speed and hopefully this time get a WS6. But I will have quite a bit more money to get a newer car than what I have now but if I keep this one when I get back I and to do a H/C with long tubes and a tune, that or supercharge it. But I am just looking forward to getting the HELL out of Okalhoma I hate this state so much.

hey man i am stationed at lewis, but currently with 3bde sbct in iraq you must be going to 4-2 because they are already over here....go to tacoma mall on the weekends or on south tacoma way near club area51 there is a lot of rice burners and some ls1's running around there

Yeah I am going to 4-2 I am not sure exactly where yet. One of my soldiers that just left sill reported this past monday and I don't know exactly where he is at but he will be shipping some time around the 15th of July, I guess the unit left in May and I am pretty sure that I will end up in the same place since I have not been over there yet and I spent the last three years as an instructor in tradoc. I will have to check those places out, are there any 1/4 mile tracks up there close, I have not been able to run my car on the quarter only the 1/8 want to see what I am running.

me? I would store it Limited insurance needed(mine was like $20 a month) and it WILL be here when you get back. I stored mine for 14 months while I was in Korea. It was paid off when I came home so I could pour as much or as little as I wanted into it

Good luck!

Plenty of Fort Lewis guys hang out on here. From base there are two tracks that are quick and easy to get to. Yep, just watch the forum and we'll be getting together soon.

yeah I want to just put it in storage till I get back and it will almost be paid off when I get back but on the other hand if I sell it I can get a newer one that is a WS6 the only down side is I will be paying on it and won't be able to fix it up as much. As far as insurace I ALWAYS have full coverage on all my cars no matter what had a bad experiance when I was yonger. I only pay 100 a month right now for both of my cars and I turn 25 next month so it will go down even further. I should only be paying like 30 buck for my car for full coverage. When I get there my friend will already be in Iraq so I am going to have to find some people to hang with and Also Does any on here watch UFC we like to have the fights and bar-b-q. In fact I am watching the finally live right now

I recommend making the most of the two tracks that are within 25 miles in opposite directions. Get some seat time, talk to people who race and mod the cars you like, and the decision relating to the disposition of your car might be easier.

Well, speaking as someone who has sold 1 LS1 'Bird and bought another... I'd say if you have a car you're happy with now, keep it. It never seems like you can find one as clean as the one you have, and the longer time passes the more beat up the ones you find out there are. Want a WS6? Put a hood on the one you have... you're not really gaining anything other than the WS6 badge on the car.
