Ya, and Demon is a Texican now. The Cascades get bigger all the time.
Is Qwk an original crewbie? I know he was here well before me.
BTW Tony, the tranny in Unca's car was once Qwks. You should also check out Qwks car sometime. Anybody got some picture links? |

i believe he came not too long after schultzy and a few others ... but that all depends on what you consider an original crewbie, as he had the car before he ever had the crew

hrm I don't remember that... if it was, it wasn't that long before, cause i drug your ass off of camaro.com 
and that was when the crew was just starting to grow from the original few members (ian, freakjohn, lance, summer, doug, mark and a few others)

I have for the last 4 years anyway. I grew up in the Tri-Cities and that's where my car still resides. But I hope to correct that some day and bring it back here where I reside. Unless I can find somebody to buy it and take it off my hands...
I was seriously planning on towing it back this summer but my wife is going to be jobless for an unknown about of time so car transportation is out of the budget again. 
Glad to see some familiar faces here! Even Demon!  |

Jon,
The offer is always on the table. I will trade you my car, for yours.
Shoot, I would trade you my car, and deliver it to IL for you. Then I'll take the bird home.... |

There is a link a few posts up.
But here is a bit of a teaser...
The pictures don't do it justice. In person the car is amazing. |

Hi, Jake! Nice to meet you... well internet style anyway. Looks like you've done some work to you car. Tell me more about it.
I have an '89 Firebird that is the first car I ever purchased. Held on to it for the last 14 years. It was originally a base model V6 5-speed with A/C. But I've tried to keep it in good condition and done quite a bit of modifications. It's not driving yet but that's a long story. Essentially it has sat for about 5 years in my folks' garage. I moved to Illinois 4 years ago and just couldn't afford to get it back here with me. But I'm coming up with ideas to change that.
The car has a 468 big block Chevy with a small roots blower and TH400 tranny. Everything else is built to handle the power. Unfortunately, some mice got inside over the last winter and crapped all over the carpet. I will have to rip it all out and get rid of the smell. Not a big deal but definitely annoying.
Jon
