... but I'm going to do the same that that Rosh did. I just bought a '94 Corvette convertible tonight and my Firebird is up for sale. Anybody with a lot of spare cash laying around can contact me about buying the 'Bird.

typical sick puppy syndrome, happens all the time. While vettes are cool, everyone doesn't have a BB bird, especially one that done as well as yours. Plus vette owner suck

LOL.... calling me to task?

No serious, I traded in my truck and got a white '94 convertible with an extra hard top.

SLP-GTA. I've had a '94 coupe before. I got rid of it about 1-1/2 years ago. Been grating on me ever since. I guess I just like the wind in my hair. Better than waiting until I'm old and getting wind on my bare scalp

Drove around for a couple hours today. I can tell this particular car is fairly strong. I think a few mods might be in order

I wouldn't know since the Bird has never been fired up. But there is about a 400 Hp differential there. The Hp difference is more than the total Hp output of the Vette!!!

Or brake lines, exhaust, fuel lines, air cleaner, etc. If you would quit buying vettes, we might get to find out how fast this car is. Right now you are all talk, pal.

I suppose your vette doesn't actually run either!?! Does it have a hood? It's probably some "project" that will never be finished. Have you put a "performance exhaust" on? Like the kind you see on the rice burners? You know the sound...beep-bdeeep-bdeeep-bdeeep?

This is way too much fun!

Shut up, Dale Tomson at

328 W. Lee Ave.
Richland, WA
99352

Phone number 943-5693

Everyone on the internet feel free to call him or drop by for dinner.

If it bugs you so much why don't you get your tush over to the house and finish the car. Huh??? By the way, you might notice I'm selling the big block. If so, you'll have that American Speed 383. Then can you handle finishing it???

Yes, it has a hood and it hasn't been rammed against the garage door yet either! And it runs too. You remember that guy from work with the Roush Mustang? Well, guess who I met at a stoplight yesterday??? R-O-U-S-H!!!! That's kind of what it sounded like when I blew by.

Boy, someone's a little grumpy today. What happened, did someone beat your pretty little white boy toy this weekend? Did you have to sit at home in the dark with the curtain's drawn crying your eyes out cuz someone somewhere out there is faster than you?

By the way, how's the vette drive in the snow?

Not very well. But that was a rare occurence.

Hey, just because I messed up a throttle body bypass doesn't mean I was stuck at home.... okay, yes it does. But I fixed it tonight and I'm not concerned about losing all my antifreeze any more.

You know, I originally thought it was just the blue Vette that had it out for me. But now I'm thinking that maybe me and Vettes just don't get along, period. It seems like every time I touch one it breaks.

Okay, I about wipped out completely yesterday. The car got REALLY out of control on an S-curve at about 50mph and I have no clue how I even pulled through it. I went through it again today and I can't believe I even tried doing it at that speed. I was having a flash of Deja Vu with spinning the blue Vette of the road!

Oh, my coworker got quite a ride too
