Ok, I take the little guy to school, come home, logon, and check the site......BAM! Karma's back on page one with tons of pics! Woooohoooo!!!!!
I truely don't know what to say and that's very rare for me to run out of words....right guys? So here I go!
As many of you know this has been a very long journey for us to get the car to this point....we are knocking on the door of 9 years! This build has had many highs and lows....many times I wanted to through in the towel! But Jennifer would talk me out of it and help me re-focus on my (our) dream and keep moviong on, thanks!
As you can imagine the 'blue car days' were not so fun! I fully trusted that shop/fellow L-g member and even when he failed the first time I trusted he could fix it the second time...which we all know the outcome of that! That was the lowest low of the build! Jen and I were very hurt by all that!
Then, not knowing to me, Curtis went public with 'The Tread' that started us on a much better and happier path! It took off like a wild fire! I could not believe how powerfull a forum like this could be! You guys quickly turned the negative into a positive. With Scott's approval used his paypal account and raised enough money to get the car to Pete and most of what it will take to get it back home! Mario stepped up BIG and sent Pete a very sizable check to help with the needed materials to re-do the car! And Pete jumped in and said 'if I could get him the car comp-spec would make it right'. I had a couple phone calls with Pete to let him know the actualy condition of the car and give him an out....he said to send it to him! So I did! Brother, words can't express how greatfull we are for what you have done!
Meanwhile, Steve and Nick over at Camaro Performers took interest in the build/story and wanted to addopt the car to do tech articles! I was very excited, you see as a child I dreamed of having a car in a magazine...so yeah this is truely a dream come true! We had to name the car so the public could easily follow the build.....in the end Jen (and I) thought Karma was the winner for all the good hearted people that helped us when we needed it most!
Over that last couple years we have picked up a nice list of sponsors, most were already friends of ours and others have become our friends...all great people! With the help of these companies, the members of Lateral-g.net, and hugely Pete and Crew at Competition Specialties we now have a beautifully done right car! Our dream car will be heading home very soon....I couldn't ask for a better Christmas present!
From the bottom of my heart and with tears of joy running down my face.....
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
