end of this month as in this weekend... or end of July?
End of this month as in end of July. Interested in helping? If you need any help with anything Ill help you also.
And yeh over at Burger King Ive been like 3 times and every time ive seen some real nice cars. Once I went though and there was only like 6 raised trucks and like no other cars, it was weird.
I know where that is... kinda close to the burger joint that closed down... can't recall the name right offhand though.. lol
Klien's... that was it.. DOH!!!
Is this on Saturdays? There is a meet at Brewsters on 610 saturdays from noon till dark. Never been to it though....
Hey.. went out to the duck tonight... Allyen ran a 6.51... not too shabby for a poor prep night
Yeh, its mostly every saturday.... later it gets in the day the more ricers that show up though, lol. But theirs normally bunch of suckstangs, vettes, saw a Ford GT one time. I havent been since last september probably, need to finish my dang car so i can bring it up their
Never been to the brewsters one either.
Whats the duck? Manassas 1/8 mile track? Old dominion, right?
SummerDuck Dragway... it's this little track tryin to live down a bad rep... way out in the stix though. Short, bumpy shutdown with a left-turn in it.. LOL
Allyen is a good dude! this is the car I was tweakin' tonight.. moreso the driver.. lol
decent burnout last fall footin' it.....
Leaves on the brake this year and trips the 60's on the slicks..
Very nice camaro!
Exhaust looks sick, love the blacked out look, think its "murdered out" or whatever those rapper people say, lol.
Hopefully ill see you around at burger king or something when ever I finish my Birdie.
And if you know anyone who wants a low mile [47k mile] stock 700r4 im going to sell mine once im done with the T56 swap. Or itll just sit in the garage, hah hah.
i may take the 700, i got one now that i bought from on here that is supposedly rebuilt but it wont be going in for awhile. but while its taking the abuse i may grab another trans to rebuild to put back there permanently

Thats fine, just make an offer. It shifts perfect and has no problems and like I said only 47k miles on it. Ill have it out of my car by the first week in august [going on vacation on sunday]. If you could just pick it up and pay in cash that would be easiest i guess.

jump on it man! I've bought 2 this week... going to get one tomorrow. the other is coming from Jersey, and it's built.
they die so easy might as well grab a spare for a good price
anybody wanna buy a Vette? got an '80 needs an interior.. and an '84, really clean car.... need muns for an early 2nd gen RS.. lol
I really wish I could buy it, but I dont see myself being able to swing it by for at least a few months, since like i said gotta spend about a bunch more on my car to finish it.
I mean, do you play guitar? I got a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Custom, black with cream trim and gold hardware [paid 1600$ for it a few years ago], thats about the only high $$$ thing I got other then my car, lol.
But I mean if you give me a good deal and can wait then ill try to scrap some money together, because that vette looks oh so good.
I've been completely through the suspension with poly's, new SS brakes all 4 corners, crate 350, performer intake, holley 750DP... headers in the shed.. lotsa parts lol... like I said...
I'd go 7k...
wifeys car is the bargain though.. pristine '84 survivor.. stack of docs over 8" thick. she would do 7.5k. her car hauls ***! cross-fire injection with a tweaked chip!
Yeh too much $$$ for a poor college student, lol. Its a beautiful car though, im sure you will find someone who will buy it for 7k though, its a good price.
Oh yeh, ive seen some real great cars for under 2,000$ with very cheap simple problems with them, even seen a few with none just higher mileage on them.

I would take it for 6k, but I think if I went and took a 6k loan at the bank my parents would probably kill me, hah hah [sometimes it sucks living with your folks]
Earliest I could get it would be november or december, because by then ill have my Firebird all taken care of and ill be able to spend my paychecks on buying another car and also with x-mas and my birthday in december my parents would probably help me out.
But since you want to sell it like now, im afraid I cant get it.
But let me show my mom the car and see if she wants to spot me some money, lol.
This car is not perfect.... interior is pretty rough in fact, which is why its cheap to buy.. LOL
Also not a real good time to be borrowing money...
I have a feeling the economy is gonna tank pretty hard and soon. Better deals in the future as folks run out of money and creditors call notes due to survive...
If ya can't pay cash for a toy, I wouldn't go into debt to buy it... just my thoughts on the matter. Save your money and ya get a way better deal in the end. Just look at the number of cars for sale on this forum alone... several... like this one
Yeh, she said its nice, but doesent want to lend me any money for a few months since she has bills also.
My Firebird is almost exactly the same as that camaro except the pontiac version and I got mine for 2700$ with only 38,xxx miles on it.
But I saw someone selling a 1989 Trans Am GTA a couple months ago with 110k miles and it was an L98 but the 700r4 was rough on it and they were selling it for 1200$ and this car was nice, thats the kind of deal I need to look for, lol.
I am in Falls Church and desperately in need of some assistance with my 91 RS!! I posted a thread about three days ago about a problem.... my battery, starter... or ?? I went to start the car and everything seemed to be o.k., but as soon as I turned the key.... the grim reaper took the life completely from the car!!!!! No dash lights, no dome, NOTHING. it was suggested that I get the battery checked out and I did. It was shot. I also had the starter tested and it was good. I got everything hooked back up...AND THE REAPER SHOWED UP AGAIN!!! I can not figure this out for anything!! I was just wondering if anyone lived in the area that could school/ help me with this?
what do your battery cables look like? how long was the new battery hooked up before you tried to start it? Are your grounds all hooked up and in good shape?

+1^^ that is where I would start... and check the connection on the back of the alternator and starter solenoid.
I live 8 miles south of Manassas in Catlett. I own 2 Camaros, a 87 IROC T-top with a nasty 355 and a 700r4 that runs low 8's in the 8th mile at Summerduck Dragway, my 92 RS in a stage of rebuilding it to run in the 6.0 class, just gota Scott Shaffiroff E85 434ci 685hp smallblock, fab 9 rear,T56 and about 10 grand in other little odds and ends, may change up some things but....It will be on the road and on the track when I get back from Afganastan in late 2009.......
I cant wait to get back from Afgan so I can run my cars at The Duck and Old D .......first I have to leave, but thats August 20th and I have no time to go to the track now....... got to get ready to leave SUCKS!!!!! I love the smell of the track!!!!!!!!
