Not looking for dyno queen numbers. Safe daily driver. It is tuned richer up top incase the meth fails the motor wont pop. Could probably squeeze about another 10whp maybe 15 out of it. But meh. Stock head stock block im happy.
108k miles that still does burnouts, shifts at redline, and still starts every day and gets me a to b. daily driven through new England winters too. no tampons.

This might be the only 'balt that looks good with that hood. Beautiful car. Tasteful mods. The numbers look good to me. Good DD that looks great and will really upset some owners with $30K cars.

Let me be second to congratulate you.

isnt there a rule that even though your car is awesome but you get married and want to sell the car, to buy a house, you are automatically barred from FCOTM?

Or does this mean you have to win coz you will sell it to buy a house? lol

Thank you bmartz and cobaltss 16!
574 - wont be any contest man, your car looks great and is in my eyes a class above this car. Youll get me easy ! Love your car.
John lol its hard to describe my relationship with this car. I think between last year and this year ive been saving for two different major things in my life and havnt had a chance to buy more goodies for her. Haha.
Ryan, lol, you can send me those wheels as a late wedding gift ! Lolol !
Really though, whatever month you run, everyone else should just realize theyre going to loose. Your car imo is the best of the best. Honest.

First, you've gotta kill a few people. And then you get sent to a prison where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. So you dig up a doctor, pay him twenty menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyes …
