Hey what’s up everyone. Look at me, I’m new to this board…oh wow! Anyway, I just moved here from Buffalo, and I’m loving being here in Pittsburgh, and it’s finally nice to be able to see that there is even a glimmer of a car scene here at all. Right now I have 5 different rides…and will probably be going on 7 soon. Anyway, just sayin hi for now…see yns around ---

thanks everybody. Sorry I’ve been out of town for a little while. My 5 rides?? Well…here goes…69 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (show car), 67 Pontiac Firebird (new project car), 81 Honda Prelude (winter rag that still gets 30mpg!), 99 Olds Intrigue (everyday commuter), and 2002 Nissan SE-R Spec V (show car ONLY). So, I think that equals 5?? I might be up to 7 or 8 sometime in the next year or so. Which should be a 79 C10 (for car trailer), 67 Lamborghini Espada 400GT (if everything goes according to plan), and possibly an older Fiero to do a V-8 conversion with the Big Block 326 I have in my Firebird right now, when I pull it in favor of putting in an Olds 455. Whew…that was some thinking there!! Everybody satisfied, or am I gonna have to run around snap pictures of everything?? ---

welcome… definitely an interesting variety of cars… do any of them happen to run down the track? ---

Well, the Nissan has been down the track a couple times, but not since I had my motor replaced last August. It’s been up for sale ever since then pretty much, so I don’t wanna do any unecessary harm to her, and have to pay for damages, when I just want to get rid of her anyway. I took the FireChicken to the track once for the hell of it. It was fun, but not fast really. My carb needed to be rebuilt, so throttle response sucked, and when it would hook up nice, my tires being so old would light up all the way down the track pretty much. She’s not all that fast yet anyway. She has a 326 in her now (not for long though), with a 2 barrel carb, so my guess is she’s around stock hp of about 250hp. That’s ok though, I have MAJOR plans for her, so about next year she should be pretty scary. I’m aiming for high 11’s to run with her. ---
