Howdy Folks,
Well what can I say about myself? Let's see... I'm 38 years old and currently reside in Bostic, North Carolina. I'm a contract engineer with a few of the power companies in NC, SC, GA. When it comes to a hobby I have to admit up front that I have an addictive personality. I've been hooked on mmorpg video games, tropical fish and now cars again. My wife is going to put me in the dog house if I'm not careful.
I've always appreciated sporty type cars. In the past I have owned several Z28's, Iroc's, Firebirds, Trans Am's, Monte Carlo SS's. As time went on I got married, had kids, sold the cars for trucks/vans.... ahh I'm sure some of you know the drill. At any rate earlier this year I purchased a 2005 Impala for work. The car isn't a sports car by any stretch of the imagination, but it was 'just' sporty enough to spark that interest in me again. It wasn't long till I was on the hunt for a new toy. I went on ebay and bought a 1995 Z-28 Coupe body and an LT1 engine to go along with it. Literally on the way to get the body my brother called and informed me I should have bought his. Needless to say I was just a little ticked because I had been after him for several years hoping he would sell me his car. After I picked the 95 body up I swung by and bought his car too. Hey why not have two Z-28's....
I currently have three Z-28's. The 1995 and the 1997 Z-28 I picked up off of my brother uhh and a 1986 TPI Z-28 I JUST snagged off of ebay.
Yep the wife's gonna kill me!
At any rate I just wanted to introduce myself.
