Thought I'd stop by and say Hi. Been a while. Have LOTS going on in my life right now, mostly bad unfortunately. Had to sell my Corvette last month to put some liquid assets back into pocket, selling all my fun non-essentials for the most part for the same, preparing for a complete start over in terms of life/career save for my family. This has unequivocally been the worst year of my life and it could get MUCH worse before the year ends.
My luck continuing, our beater threw a rod on Tuesday while I was driving up to Purdue to see Dustin. So now the Celica which hasn't been out of the garage since May is seeing daily duty. I must say that the car simply puts a smile on my face still. I think she's thanking me for being used again because she's running FANTASTIC too. Good news about the Vette sale is that I've got some high end audio equipment to go in the Celica now (Bravox component speakers being the high end, mundane Alpine amps for power, need to build a box and find a nice sub still). Still have the Trans Am also......Got the turbo kit in on the new motor and it's having the tune finished up. It's going to be stupid when it's done. I'll put it like this. 25-30% outruns normal traffic flow from a stop easily, and 9% throttle to cruise at 80 MPH. It's moving air quite nicely and sounds pissed off at the same time. How ya'll been here?? -------------------- |

Lol, thanks guys. Good thing is that with the departure of the Vette, I don't have a third car to concentrate on. So once the T/A is finished up, I'm planning on some motor upgrades for the Celica.
