    The Firebird is alive again :)

    I'm gonna be out driving tonight as long as my brother gets the tags. Been 2 years since it broke at the track. It runs cool in town and runs cool on the interstate. So I'll be cruising 1st ave or the interstate for a while tonight getting some miles on the new engine. I'm so freaking happy its ridiculous. If I'm on first ave, look for a White Firebird with a black cowl 3" hood.

    Same Car, still needs body work, sanding and a painting. Runs like a champ though, only have a 100 miles on the engine so far.

    My dad and I need to tune it though, it hesitates a little bit on full throttle from a cruising speed in Drive. But when its actually in 1st or 2nd when punched, it hauls some ass.
