I just stopped by a local shop for an inquiry on header installation and the owner thought that I was a 16 year old with a C6 Z06

My first Vette was a 1982 gold, one of 643 that color with a crossfire motor.

I am certainly liking my supercharged LS3 over the crossfire

Mine is real simple. It was the first Vette I owned. No need for interpretation. The only thing to add is that it was a roadster.

Not a lifestyle choice, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Unix is an operating system for computers and what today's Apple OSX and Linux is based on. The combination sounded cute 20 years ago on AOL. Later on, I found out my step father went to high school with one of the inventors of Unix at Bell Labs in New Jersey where I was born. So that made it cool again, to me anyway.

I once owned a 2002 Roush 360R Mustang. Someone asked me what the "R" in 360R stood for and my first response was Rocket. So 360Rocket

The first forum I joined is midwestboatparty.com and the name of my boat at the time was Dead Sexy II. I use that forum name for all forums now - which is kind of lame I guess because I sold that boat and have a different one now.
