I live in Quincy, drive to work everyday just down from the capital. I've been around race cars most of my life, friends and family drag race. Anyways, here's a list of the autos I have owned...

1st car:
68 A3 Light Blue Mustang...Dad and I was going to fix...never happened because my Dad got a 69 SS 396 Chevelle w/o 396, instead it had a strong 327 bored/stroked etc.

2nd car:
69 350/350 A3 Metalic Forest Green Firebird... it had been repainted, tranny rebuilt, and the interior had been fully restored. Dad and I had the motor rebuilt. I drove it to school and to work for 3ish years. Stupid me sold it.

3rd truck:
99 Black S10 4x4...I guess I needed to get the truck thing out of my system. It had tires, chip, blah, blah. I relized I don't get as much attention in it as the 69 Firebird.

4th and Current Car:
98 A4 Metalic Navy Blue Formula Firebird. I bought it just before Valentines last year. At the current moment it's stock...I assume. I blew the original about 3 months after I had it, oil pump went out and took the engine with it. So the Warranty I got covered it. They put a engine from the same make and model in it. Anyways, right now shit is always breakin...healight motor, window motors, A/C...not to mention the engine. It's had over 5k spent on it, but only 50 bucks so far has come out of my pocket for it...thankful for that warranty I got with it. I would have liked to had rebuilt the engine myself...maybe later when I acually make some $$.

There are some plans I have instore for my Formula...but right now I'll just have to wait and sit in the back of the croud with my Stock LS.

See ya around,
Allen

Black 95 Cobra? I think that's Mike Davidson. If I recall correctly he's a lawyer type and works over there in the Larson. I believe he used to park under the Larson as well. The yellows are me and Riceman.
