Thought I would drop in and say hi! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)


I finally have a lot more time on my hands than I have since this time last year. I got married late last year and bought a house all while working on my master's at UofL and working full time at a power plant. I'm now officially broke. I'm also trying to sell my truck (good luck there) and have considered selling the Camaro with as bad as the economy has become. It's amazing how bad it's gotten in the past year. Anyways I got my masters in mechanical engineering in August am done with school so I actually have a social life down. I'm also down 35 pounds and have taken up cycling and weight lifting.

Hope you don't need to sell the race car.

Nope, I'm keeping it-unless someone makes me a nice offer. I love my car too much and I would end up replacing it down the road anyways. About the only thing wrong with it is that's an LT1 and not an LS1. I just winterized it the other day. I'm going to put the sound deadening and stereo back in and redo the alignment over winter and make it my nice weather daily driver for next year. It has practically new 275/40/17 Kumho Ecsta MX's on it so it's not that far off from being a daily driver.

I no longer fit the inside of my car though. I'm now down to 215 lbs and when I drove it the other day, to add fresh fuel and stabilizer to the tank, I was sliding all over in my Kirkey Intermediate RR seat. It's an 18" seat IIRC. Anyways I'm going to have to put the racing seat up for sale since it's too big. I'm thinking now I would need a 16" or smaller racing seat. But right now the factory seats are going back in. If someone in KY (not interested in shipping) wants a deal on an 18" Kirkey Int. RR seat drop me a line.
