Congrats again on getting it moving, big milestone.

Thanks. It's a great feeling as you know, and just the beginning of more fun.

I can't remember his name, but the tuner that is coming over the Gearhead guys are really high on his skills. So I'm sure he will get it worked out.

After your maiden voyage Dave, I don't see how we can deny your membership any longer into the 'Bad Man' club.

Welcome!

I like being bad.

Congratulations. I know you've been through a bit to get to this point but it looks like it was well worth the trouble. Can't wait to go for ride!

Well... when it's finished. Are these cars ever finished? I realize we spent all the time videoing the car last weekend and no really decent pics. I'll post a couple of what I have.

He's fortunate to be in the Kenny Banya business.

And it is a very demanding business indeed.

Thanks! Yep, the plan is to cruise down from Sac with the Gearhead posse and be part of their team.

Thanks Curtis. Yes I was just telling my dad today that after 2.5 years of bitching, complaining, sulking, bla bla bla, it all doesn't matter much now.

You definitely got a ride voucher!

Holy crap, I almost fell outta my chair. I was finally looking at the thread w/ updates from Dave and came accross the vid from Skip? WaterCooledNelds, right? That is good stuff! Definitely some good characters here on the site....


We'll get some pics and some tuning done this wekend. Car has now been 4-wheel aligned, PSC steering reservoir is in transit, stance has been raised 5/8", etc. Looking forward to some longer joyrides this weekend!

The thing is a BEAST!!!

Longer joyrides sound nice.

Thanks Jason,

I learned to try and keep busy while I was.. uh .. unavailable for those 15 years for impersonating a poser.

And thanks for getting Vertigo to this point which helped Dave return to being at least a semi-productive part of society. Sooner or later he was bound to be missed.
