Default New addition to the stable.

Just got home with the Admiral Blue 95 Coupe. While it's a low option car, it does have the better factory gearing, power seats, glass top, and the other usuals (no suspension upgrades). Has 52K and is about to undergo some minor mods. :D Now if I could just get more time away from work...

Great addition, now I have to ask your reason for the second.

I bought my second one for racing so I wouldn't beat up the daily driver anymore.

How about you?

Suggested that the neighbors buy a white one, since both their car and truck are white already. How about a little peer pressure and I'll have them read this. :D

Great addition, now I have to ask your reason for the second.

I bought my second one for racing so I wouldn't beat up the daily driver anymore.

How about you?
Nothing like trying to build a hotrod out of your wife's daily driver. :crazy:
I think I'll start with torque converter, tranny shift kit, hotcam, rollerrockers, K&N air filter, Corsa, and u-joints. You know just the usual starter kit!
Just don't think I can do the skinnies up front as it will be daily transportation also. Been following your story obviously. I will keep you posted as it happens.
:D
