I love my truck, but I just bought my wife her second Acadia

 

All these carnage stories have me nervous...

 

Lol ya I broke more than I thought. Everything is ordered and block is getting cleaned up. Hopefully have her back together soon. Roger has been a great help to get this back together as cheap as we can.

I will never go this crazy with a daily driver again, at least not one that started out costing 40k+ lol

Looking forward to the next project once this is sold. Will miss the truck though.

 

Stole this yesterday from my father to run a few things around town though. Pulled off to make a phone call (top was off) and snapped this picture.






The sad thing.. I never thought I would say a Corvette is slow......ish.

Car is a blast to drive, and still gets up and goes. But I did a couple WOT pulls from 2nd gear and it just made me miss my truck and boost all that much more. LOL

Told my dad his car was slow and he kicked back without missing a beat "well it's faster than your truck right now"

 

At Rogers

 

looks like i've missed a lot. sucks about the engine, hope you get it back together soon!

any ideas of your next project?

edit: just saw your other post!

 

Just need the right bracket for the D1 and it'll fit under that hood

 

The second he is willing to sell it I would be all over that. Have hinted to him a few times I wanted that car.


04 Lemans edition with maybe 20k miles??


Maybe someday

 

touché I'd say.. Just be thankful your dad has cars you WANT to buy from him.. My parents all they had was station wagons.. I mean the Clark Griswald "Family Truckster" kind of station wagons.. Ugh, I don't know where the passion for cars came from in my family but it certainly wasn't from anyone I am aware of !!

Nice C5, thats awesome car in the PERFECT color !

 

I agree, love the blue on his car. I think it would be a nice color for a truck one day also

LOL My dad has never been into drag racing but he has always liked nice cars and had some pretty nice ones in the past.


The Vette fascination started when I still lived at home years ago. Started with an 80 (still have) then a 2000 (sold) and then 2004
