I used to drive a '91 Nissan Sentra 4-door. Got really good gas mileage and kept me from getting tickets. Even got rear ended in it and it kept on ticking. Well, till I burned a valve on it and I really had enough of it. So I got this.



2000 Z28, 6-speed, Eibach Pro-Kit, intake and exhaust, and a short throw shifter. I'm currently changing up the stereo, but I'll be adding to the suspension soon. It's a REALLY fun car to drive now too. Still a little to fix up on it, but I like it.

Thats a nice step up for sure. Not only will it get better gas mileage but it looks a heck of a lot better than the Camaro. I had a 95 Firebird 3.4 V6 and swapped to the 96 Formula V8 6 speed and got 30mpg on the highway. Much better gas mileage than the underpowered 3.4 V6.

My 05 Subaru Impreza is looking like a perfect investment. The thing is a beast in the snow with the AWD!!! Plus it just rides so nice. I love this car.

...and when the weather is nice we ride these. Mine is the blue ZX 636 Kawasaki.
This was on a trip to the eastern part of the state last summer. Near Lake Chelan. It was about 600 miles round trip (one day) and most of it was like our own little Grand Prix race. Totally nuts!!

It is incredible. The road over is called the North Cascades Highway. It runs from just north of Everett Wa (Arlington) to Winthrop Wa. I have to be honest, if I had not been over it in a car prior to that run I wouldn't be able to tell you what much of it looks like. It was like someone lit a fuse on all the bikes and we launched. We took it a bit easier on the road back. The last part of the loop took us through Leavenworth Wa and over Stevens Pass. The scenery along the Columbia river, Lake Chelan and through the mountains is unlike anywhere else in the country. It goes from huge evergreen forests to desert and all over between those. I grew up here and am still amazed at the places I see around here each year. I love it (except the rain ) That bike and those roads are my therapy.

So can we expect a 7" Cognito kit on the Chevelle also. I thought you might be going for the 3 peat in the Cognito booth at SEMA with the Chevelle.

Cognito might do a Donk kit.....it's something new not everyone knows about yet but I already have been talking to all the forum leaders about a "Donk-Touring" Section.




Oh and for the record I am looking for the 3 peat in the Cognito booth for 2010. Just can't say yet what it will be because it's way to early.
