That's right W. I was just Posing in the car in front of my house. How ya'll like my house? You know I do live in East Tennessee. If you got it, flaunt it. :D
That is actually a 100 year old home close to me that someone has started to redo.
Scott, Thanks so much for the opportunity to have my car featured. It is truely a honor for me to be added to such an elite bunch of cars.
Last night, Melinda and I drove the car over to West Knoxville for a get together with a local forum. The car performed flawlessly and was a blast on the 100 or so mile round trip. The only problem was the rain on the way home. However, I got soap and water, and it will be clean again. I know now though that it will be fine in the rain, so bring it on, I am ready for the Power Tour.
Steve, Cover Car? I had heard rumors, but now I guess you have confirmed it! :thumbsup:
Someone may have to hit my swollen head with a baseball bat, Lateral-g and PHR coverage in the same month.
Thanks so much everyone for the nice comments. Free rides and drives for anyone who wants. The car is a hoot to drive and I certainly don't mind letting anyone drive it. One thing, I get shotgun. :D

I don't remember the driving offer when I was around! :_paranoid
Seriously, this car is awesome in person! I was around it for several days in Daytona and it draws a crowd! People had so many questions that Bill had to take a break and get away from the car now and then. It was fun to stand near Billygoat as people looked over it and talked about it.
Congrats Bill! Also congrats to Frank and the gang at Prodigy Customs! Good job! :thumbsup:

How do you like that super charger? Nothing like instant power. A combo of things make this car, not just one thing in particular with most cars. Lets start with the interior. Gives it a modern day look, the gray is soft on the eyes and I'm sure its safer with a shoulder harness. Paint sceme and color really brings out the character of the car. Plus the wheels, yeah baby, makes it look like it screams. I would think seeing this car in person, you would find all kinds of additional details.

Very, very, very nice. Top shelf!

Yeah, it is kind of a funny, the interior is probably one of my favorite parts of the car, but I have heat with the interior guy right now. The interior is idea I threw at Bill, we had the Aurora seats there that Jagarang had bought for the Firebird, but were way to big for a F body. I was sure we would be able to fit the rear seat, which i think really sets this off from just throwing a set of front seats in it. Bill had the idea of using the stock GTO pattern which worked out fantastic because many immediately recognize this little detail. Then I worked in two tone interior to follow the exterior two tone, and carbon fibre in silver to break the two tone to replace all the cast chrome. When all was done, the interior is a real feature. Now to rerally finish the interior, we got him set up with a booming stereo sponsorship from Audiobahn. Just imagine ole Bill ridin around in the luxurious interior, top down, bangin a few thousand watts to some Jay Z, P Diddy, Snoop Dog and the likes? I think you can arrested in Pigeon Forge Tennessee for that!

WORD!!!! :rofl:
I got to be careful playing a little Allman Brothers around here, let alone any of the above mentioned artists. It would truely be "Hammertime"!
On the other hand, I could crank it up and get away with the loudness, if I could stomach say Dolly Parton or George Jones. :faint:
