Irony at its finest.


and yes, The ricer comment is spot on.

Look familiar?



Those are some really bad examples..

You need a big chill pill, All I said was to keep an open mind, I never said you were not allowed an opinion..

Well, I don't like. My opinion, public forum, when you do gaudy things like you have the be prepared for both positive and extremely negative comments. That's the just the way it is.
You're right, you are entirely entitled to your opinion. I just have one question........how do you manage to sit in front of a computer with that massive post stuffed squarely up your backside?!?!?!?

Just curious..............

Gee, who'd a thunk checkered door pull handle covers would be so controversial? To each their own. If we all thought alike this would be an incredibly boring forum...

I'm surprised Rick that you have never installed the red door pull bezels that are readily available.

I thought about it once, but decided the black bezels complimented and balanced out the black A/C vents in the dash. I mean it's not like I don't have lot's of different Torch red paint or SEM red paint or several yards of Torch red vinyl leatherlike material that can be applied or stretched on anything on the vehicle. Now I'm laying out the underhood for doing a checkered flag theme to match the engine and rest of the car. I also have been rolling around the idea of...........?



I've got another show to attend next Saturday, so off to work I go.

If only I had another $20,000 upgrade to a Supercharged LS3, and more stuff....Then it would be ready for a real "Super Chevy" car show in Houston. Sadly I don't BUT I can drive it everyday now.
