Well, to me, cars are made to drive. So there is 140,000 on her, but she runs like a champ and looks excellent. All of the mods are on my website on this page:

Holding up good...it kept popping out of reverse as you let out the clutch. They fixed a crap load od misc. stuff that needed to be fixed, i.e.-headlight motors, pass lock switch, tranny, etc. All-in-all it came out to $2400...i only paid like $124...ahh, the wonders of a warranty. It does need a new clutch though

scan it to (your pictures) file in your computer. then shrink it down to 102500 bytes or less and use the attach file section in the post reply area.

I would have bet Eddyville too. Black Capri behind the green stang looks like the Pucket bucket and he is part of the DSM crowd that typically doesn't go to CFR.

Where at in Johnston are you guys? I work out at STARC Armory, across the street and down the road from the Camp Dodge swimming pool entrance... We could have our own 3rd gen meet it sounds like.

SleeperZ28, where at on Merle Hay auto mile do you work?

Maybe we could all meet for lunch at Famous Dave's or something sometime. I love seeing what others have done to their 3rd gens...

Nope still have the 94Z, keeping it for now, and parting out my 86 Iroc-Z. Matt quit and I believe he went to Karl's, could be wrong, and the Geff, well he just quit, I have no clue what he is doing. Right now I go to school with Dennis from Bob Brown, who has an 85 Z.

Well I know Joshp14 goes to school at DMACC also, he may be game for lunch too. Its cool how most of us have, have been or going to school for Auto classes.
