I remember reading stopsign threads long ago. They were always legendary. Whatever happened to him?

From what he posted on here, he got out of the modding/racing game. That's what I remember anyway.

The internet / social media is a funny thing though. When you type something you cannot see facial expression so it is easy for people to take things the wrong way. I try not to offend anyone hence the "jk".

Some more time on SRK should cure that problem for me though..LOL

That's what makes it funny though. Too many people take keyboard words too seriously when you crack a joke not using "jk" at the end of it. That's what makes a good troll lol. I think it's ridiculous that most people need to see the abbreviation "jk" just to know someone is joking. That's no fun haha!

You're a nice enough guy to not have to use "jk" and everyone here would know you're joking anyways lol.

Last I heard he kept his cars but he got out of the car thing. He took up another hobby collecting and shooting some nice guns. Have not heard from him since.

Happens more and more there. Same with SIR at cruise weekend. No point even prepping the car for a pass, you'll only get 1 anyway.

I just remember you bugging him that a Mach didn't have the power to turn a 7.7 into an 11 second pass

Yeah and they catered to the pro guys like Crazy. Sitting in the staging lanes for an hour while those guys took like 10 minutes to stage all the time wasn't really fun

Kevin collects guns now, and since he's had a kid, getting GM guys fired up on tech has fallen to the bottom of his priority list. I still keep in touch with him from time to time.

He used to have some of the corral guys all up in arms when they'd come in there with that "heads bigger than AFR165s will kill torque" **** and he'd smack them down. Very knowledgeable but had a huge fanclub (

) on here.

Maybe a couple of passes, eh around 5,500rpms clutch dump, and a hand full of basic suspension mods.
