About this Current Vehicle:

I bought this car when I was 20 back in 1999, it was 100% stock at the time and had 40k on it. I did a few bolt on's and a cam swap, then hit some hard finalcial times and had to sell it in Feb of '02. I guess it was meant to be because I found it on a used car lot and promptly bought it again in late August of '05. It was in bad shape, and running poorly. I disassembled it in Sept of '05 and spent 2 years redoing the whole car. It started again for the first time on Sept 26, 2007 and went to get painted directly afterwards. I drove it again for the first time in two years on Oct 20, 2007. It's still a work in progress....
