Default Hello from PA

Hi,

My name is Larry, and Im a 34 year old cop from PA... yes a Police Officer... no not a *****.

Ive been on the job for 9+ years and have been a gear head for a long time. Currently, I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport with a small lift, a 1996 M6 camaro (385 LT1 procharged/intercooled) and a 2002 Kawasaki ZX-12 R that is for sale (if anyone wants to buy one).

Hopefully 2moro, I will be picking up my 1985 Corvette. The thing about this vette is, it has been completely cloned into a 1996 Grand Sport using most of the parts from an actual crashed GS. The drive train is still all 85 and the car has about 90k on it.

The GS has been my dream car ever since 1996 when it came out.... Unfortunatley as a cop, my salary may never allow me to own a real one, so this is now my "dream car."

I will post up some pics of everything I have, and if anyone as any questions, or if anyone has any "cop questions" they wanna ask, I will do my best to help.

Yes I do have a FB with lots of pics, so (without sounding you know) you can throw me a request.....

Well thats it for now.... now for pics, and hope I dont offend anyone.... if so, not intentional.....

Thanks for having me....

Larry

Well thank you all for the welcome wishes.... I AM EXCITED NOW.... Just got back from NY at 3am with the new vette.... SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The quarters may need some fiberglass repair and some side glass because there are some good scuffs and scratches in them and the driver side door handle needs to be fixed... you know some lil stuff.......

THE INTERIOR IS MINT!!!! and she runs awesome, the 315s dont hook AT ALL.... hahahah!

I will get some fresh pics and update this thread till Im all introduced out.... then look out, I have a tendency to be a post *****... but its all good stuff.


And it is my pleasure to Protect and Serve, especially when the appreciation is shown.... thank you.


PS- all of my toys are alot of "fun." lol
