When I was 18 I built up a 1974 Pontiac Ventura sleeper of the century with aluminum headed 400. 5.0 Fox body mustangs were a dime a dozen (ricers at the time always swerving in and out of traffic) and I would walk all over them. Never lost to one 5.0 so I put it on the license plate "jst8a5.0" (just ate a 5.0) just to taunt them and it stuck.
72 Nova SS, Plans have changed a little:artmorrison front subframe, and rear 3 link, pretty much stock ls1 and six speed with a single turbo for around 550hp. with a few other things mixed in.
current cruiser: "The green machine"
'70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct
and why do we modify everything...."BECAUSE STOCK SUCKS"
My first 'car' was a 68 Corvair Monza. I did own a VW rabbit before but I'm not counting that however, it could really rally. Still own that Corvair 20 yrs. later...

Color, Year, Model, I'm not so creative. It was the first project my dad and I built - will always be my favorite.. Started using it as a screen name back in high school and I've just stuck with it for most things online.
