Re: Iowa? Anyone?

Just jumping in to say hi from southeast iowa. Im in Burlington.

Although I'll probably be third-genless here soon.
Selling my firebird to pay off my talon so I can afford to sink more money into it.

Although I'm really trying to find a cheap but mechanically sound v6 or 305 third-gen for a DD
