Well we just got a new addition to the family the other day. 2004 Pontiac GTO. It's a 6 speed and has approximatley 11,500 miles on it. If you can't tell it's silver with red leather seats on the inside, the rest of the interior is black. I was kind of upset that he didn't get an 05 or 06, because they come stock with the ram air hood and dual exhaust, but the local dealer cut him a good deal on this one. After driving it the other day i must say i'm thoroughly impressed with it's power. From the factory it has 350hp and i believe 365ft lb, and you can definatley feel all the power as you shift gears. it's a blast do drive. the only flaw is some curb rash on the front passenger side wheel, but he just order some gloss black wheels for it the other day. unfortunatley i'm not at home so i don't get to play around in it or work on it, but it's his midlife crisis so he prolly wouldn't let me anyway.. lol.
also, just threw some eibach lowering springs on the mustang for anyone interested.

Rovin.. i agree actually.. lol. but i didn't have as big of budget to work with. but still.. the mustang is my baby.
also, what do you think would look better for the mustang.. should i:
1. go carbon fiber trunk to match the hood
2. paint the hood to match the car (original plan, leaving only the hood scoop carbon fiber)
3. leave it the way it is |

I took the chrome mustang plastic piece off the grill over christmas break. The all black grill looks much better than having the silver stang on there IMO. I'm going to leave it the way it is cause i don't think chrome or billet would look that good. |

Nice, though I would have waited for Challenger.
Mid life crisis? The reason men buy expensive toys at that age is generally based on the fact that it's more affordable now as opposed to back then when they wanted one but couldn't afford it. |

well like i said.. we aren't exactly rich, so the Challenger will be way out of our price range. although it looks like an amazing car and i've always wanted a mopar.
and my dad had some nice cars back when he was younger, which is why i think he still appriciates them so much now. he just moved for his job though, so i figure the stress of moving led him to buy something nice for himself. either that, or to pick up chicks.. lol. |

Niiice Paul. I would have loved to get an iroc, but for the milage mine had on it the price was too good to pass up. mines the 305V8 too, so it still does alright. the standard 305 (not the H.O. that came in the IROCS) are kind of sluggish though.
I'm thinking about getting some hood louvers for the camaro. not like the vent style ones on the iroc, but the raised ones that came on the 91, 92 Z28s. but right now i'm dumping all my cash into the mustang |

Skullz, this is the only pic i have of the back. it was back when there wasn't much done to it, but the back still basically looks the same. I will get some more pics of the inside, sound system, etc when i go home for spring break.

I keep telling myself that I need to get my camaro back. (Most ppl who part with their cars eventually do).
It's getting to the point now though that it would start becoming too expensive. My camaro is now 20 years old. To find it in good shape means top $$. To restore one back to good condition means more $$.
I'm better off getting something new and load it to the hills with performance lol.
But then again....with that we're back to tons of $$$. |

Loaded? Yeah right lol.
I'm a single parent of two. I get by but I'm not loaded. Mortgage, utilities, insurance, truck payments, taxes, ect............
Paul is left with........
I have fun tho where I can.........
I just hate when some azzhole claims I'm jacking up the price on something I'm selling that I'm not making any money on. I do it because I like this place and I want ppl to get the best possible price on stuff. I want to give back.
I have two great kids who I love very much, a job that supports them both, a family that will always be behind me, and passions for many things, including this place.
So yeah, I guess you can say Paul is loaded. |

Yeah I miss that car. My ex wife(girlfriend at the time) used to scream at me for chirping my wheels every so often. I kept telling her: "Hey, it's a 5.7L v-8, every once in a while I use it."
I caught her several times lead footing it when she would drive it lol. It's just addicting.
