Right now I got an 85 Berlinetta and an 85 Firebird S/E. I got out of the army about 8 months ago, and now im a government contractor working for the air force. Moneys good, but it sucks to be without the rides. There is a white IROC over here, I think its the only third gen in the country. I hope I see it again so i can at least talk to the guy.

Well, I'm from SW Michigan, will definately be at thirdgen nats, *** Willing. Even if I have to drive solo, which is looking more and more likely since i'm running out of people to ask. Funny, but no one wants to sit in a Camaro for 7.5 hours straight (Stopping for anything but gas is soooooo outta the question--gonna do it Cannonball Style). i'm almost 21, two months away, and, yep, it's killing me. I work in a bathtub factory. On third shift no less. It sux. Stay in school.
Been looking for (a) a way to blow my vacation time and (b) a good long road trip in the Z. Looks like we have a winner! Then later this summer, maybe a trip down Pacific Coast Highway. Always wanted to see that.
The car: it's not on this site yet since I'm not done yet., but here goes; 85 Z, dark red with silver gfx. originally LG4, now with Edelbrock cam, intake, carb, and true duals, yes i said true duals. by spring I hope to have everything installed i list in my sig, plus get my Valentine 1 radar detector hard wired into my fuse panel. Then I'm looking to replace my (bent) Ronal R1 rims with IROC hoops.
Well, that's everything I can think of off hand.

Cable modem is cool!! Hey everyone. Up late tonight looking around can't sleep. Little about myself. I am 34, married, 2 kids, been in the military 12+ years. Served onboard fast attack submarines for 7 yrs. Now I am fixing C-130 airplanes for the Air Force for a living.
Sounds like a lot of you are in school now. I feel kinda old. That is cool though still feel like I am 18
. I am going to try to make it to the nationals but I have a family to tow up there so no promises yet.
Imagine...2 car seats in a camaro:nono:

well lets see my wife quit her job so that totally killed car money for me till she stars workin again, my daughter just turned a year, im starting to prepare to get outta the army (14 months left) life is ok just wish i had some more money for my damn car lol. i think thats why i havent been posting lately... i get pizzed
ya know before i got married i used to drive everywhere in my car but my wife has an exterra that we travel as a family in so i havent really had to take my car anywhere in the past year..... so saturday night i had to take a trip about 140miles each way and i took my car and it made me realize how much i like traveling in my car its so much better then our exterra. i think it helped my car too (blew some of the crap out of her) it seems to be running better than before, i guess short trips to and from work do take a toll on a car?
well just my .2 cents thanks for reading take care and i hope to see you all at the meet!

Somewhat good news
Well as some of you know, i have a really bad broken leg.
Went to the doctors yesterday, and got a little bit of good news. Only 5 months and 4 surgerys later, now i can put up to 50 pounds on my leg....And after five months on crutches, i forgot how to walk:lala:
I am happy to say that my car is almost ready to be sent to the paint shop....gonna pull the engine tonight

Glad to hear you're doing a little better. I was just wondering the other day how you were getting along with that leg.
Sounds like you've been busy, Hell, I'm fine and I haven't accomplished a thing on my car. Maybe soon, if the weather warms up a little and my employer stops offering that pesky overtime.
