My first published article!
As some of you may or may not know already, I was asked to be featured in Forza's 'Heavy Metal Affliction' - a collective story about you, your ride, and your passion for the hobby. It took about 10 weeks to finally get published but it all feels worth it today. If you feel like reading the story, the link is below.

Thanks to all those involved with my obsession - still got a long ways to go!

Nice car and a well written article. You remind me of when I wanted to buy a Pantera. I had already bought over $5,000 in NOS parts and was still looking for the "right" car. Travelled 10,000 miles looking including California. Ended up with one from almost my backyard. My title was from the US Marshalls. Not sure how the guy lost it but it had only 9400 miles on it and was bone stock and perfect. That was 25 years ago and I still have it and race it. I like drag racing and hill climbs. I recently wrote an article on this car about to be published on the only known Pantera that was owned by Uncle Sam (not me but the US Government). Here is a video I did from 20 years ago on the afternoon of my wedding. Hope you enjoy it. Mr. Sam

There's one that attends our car shows once in awhile...this thing is insane:
