Post your ride

Every forum has a thread like this, and I couldn't find one here through search so please excuse me if it's a repost. But thought it would be interesting to see what everyone drives - especially adult webmasters - a new demographic for me. Cars are a hobby for me, but even if you don't know the first thing about them - post yours anyway!

I'll start:

I've always gotten bored with cars that run well and just get you places, so I go through them pretty quick. My last project was an '89 Toyota 4x4 v6 which I lifted - nationals and downey coilovers, 35's, headers, gears, fiberglass fenders and bedsides, and a bunch of other crap. Can't find any pics, but I got rid of it recently. My latest is this vette; got it for cheap$$ because it had warped heads and busted ringlands. Put a new motor in, now working on making that sucker fast. I ran a 13.1 stock on the new motor, and plan for long tube 1 5/8 hookers, 1.6 ratio roller rockers, and a slew of other little shit that should drop me to mid 12's (basically a stock C5 coupe) on stock internals. Then when I have more time I'll do a hotcam and super/mini ram intake set up - ought to be pretty snappy Anyway it's fun to talk shit to my GF's dad who just got a 2003 M5; He thinks it's the shit because it runs a 13.3 stock; I told him my 15 year old chevy does that

This one has all the factory goodies, so it's a good starter: the j55 13 inch brakes, fx3 computer controlled speed sensitive dampening (as you go faster the actuators tighten up the shocks), z51 performance handling package (probably the stiffest riding vette ever), 3.55 rear end, ZF 6 speed manual, Dana 44 rear. Here's a few pics, never mind the pile of shit in the background, that's one of my neighbor's daughters or some shit)
