I'm alive

Just been a busy busy boy.

Working tons, third 7 day stretch in a month and a half.

House and apartment sucking funds, along with the little guy lol

Got some plans brewing in my head, so I'm doing some car parts hunting :-)

Damn I need to get the ceiling the garage drywalled so it can be in full production mode for toys lol

Who's still poking around here?

I am.

Met up with a few guys in the IL area at the local Strats hangout. I only had my DD cause the GTA was on jackstands but saw some peeps that I hope to see at TGF too.

Maybe at Road America and Cordova as well.

Re: I'm alive

Yes I felt like part of me died when I bought that. New job requires lots of driving and the GTO wouldn't have cut it. Way to thirsty and premium gas. Would have loved to have kept it, but camaro would never get finished if I did

I suppose I shouldn't say anything. My DD is a G6 GTP, which is basically a malibu when you get down to it. I had to have it as a 6spd though, so its got that going for it.

Re: I'm alive

I pop in from time to time. Both third gens were sold to fund a brief Harley phase, but I'm back looking for another project again.

I'm married and have two kids (1st will be 2 in June, second will be here in June too. If you do the math right, you can actually figure out when my birthday is, hahaha). I'm working a job that even I can't believe I have.

Good to see some people are still floating around here, it's like a toilet that hasn't worked in a few years!

Maybe call it ThirdGen Fest Classic if Denny doesn't mind lol

I got a little over 2 acres and I'm roughly 30-45min from Denny's house, just over in IN on the Griffith/Schererville border in a little unincorporated section
