This is still my homepage and I do look around quite a bit but have not contributed much in the past year.. Bottom line, I went through a divorce. Things are really good, life change, but really good. For a while, I really didn't care about driving any of my cars at all, they sat for months, I'm sure you guys understand.. I also just finished up my '71 Camaro. I will update my build thread next week as I am racing this weekend. I still love this place and am glad to see everyone doing well. I hope to see some of you guys at SEMA this year. I promise I am back. Here are a few quick pics of the Camaro. I can't wait to start driving it. I plan on attending as many events as I can with it..

It's called a buy out..LOL I did sell a couple of cars but kept most of them.
Just keep your head up, as you know, your emotions go up and down. Your friends and family will help you through this. Bottom line, you have to be happy..

Thanks bro--that would be great.
Nice job on the video in your RS---I can see why once you start running a car like that, it would be tough to come back to a muscle car and expect the same performance. I couldn't believe how smooth that VW was on the transitions, shifts, acceleration, etc. It looks like you've done it a time or two--but the smoothness of the car can't be denied. I would love to get behind the wheel of one and spoil myself.
