    The car is awesome too, I've detailed that particular model a few times infact :)

    The Driveway is new, like my house. It's not even sealed yet. They are suppost to come back soon to seal it.We are doing some landscaping this summer. Funny that pic was taken last year. Across the street is all new houses now. Our side of the street was done first.

    My durango next to my old F-150. The F-150 was a 1996 with the 4.9 L I6. It had 123 000 miles on it when I gave it back to my parents.

    Sorry the pictures are so large. I'll resize them at work tomorrow.

    1978 Pontiac Firebird Transam T/A 6.6 w/ the HURST shift and tee-top package w/64K original miles and producing an additional 100hp+ just for fun w/ help from the guys at Summit Racing. Summer car only. Sunny days only. Cherry. Never seen a winter, not over-used and not abused... well hardly ever. (Medium Blue w/ black velour inter.)

    1995 Triumph Speed Triple w/ lots of upgrades. (Diablo Black)

    1999 Kawasaki ZRX. Did a Sport Rider Magazine Z-Rex project on it. Built on a dyno, went from 98 rear wheel hp to 135 rear wheel hp. Other upgrades. (ELR colors).

    Maybe I'll scan or take new pictures and post them.

    Sweet ride, for sure. You know how much power & torque it's making? Have you ever taken it to a strip?

    Is all of your audio equipment in it Alpine?

    I decided to build the car up a bit back in '85 with the help of Summit Racing. They were very familiar with the engine and said I was looking at at least 325hp. Torque??? I could have easily gotten more hp for the same or very little more $$ at the time but wasn't interested. I wanted an everyday ride (really streetable but with a nice cam lope at idle) that I wouldn't have to keep adjusting and tuning. I wanted to make power at highway speeds and not over the quarter mile stretch. Thus the stock rear end gears. The only thing I regret not doing back then was putting in a Doug Nash five speed transmission. (Later bought out by Richmond Gears.) She'll run around 150mph at red line in top gear but I need another gear. When you punch the peddle at red line in fourth for a moment to see what power isn't being used she snaps your neck!
