I just picked up an 02 Z06. Unfortunately, the original owner has forgotten most things he's done to the car over the years. He didn't skimp on any parts. It apparently got the Delco / Mongoose 440ZS package. The only search I can find leads to a dead website. From what I can find, this was...

I have nothing to do with this, just came across it today and know there's a few fans on here that might want to look into it. Quick info: Black on Tan convertible 1 of 245 under 40k asking 7500 Car is located in CT http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/3983865518.html

I'm slowly getting it ready for spring and took a few shots. It's far from being ready to drive. I have most of the parts I need. I'm holding off on ordering anything else so I can focus on finishing the jobs I have parts for already.

I just got back into town last night. I wouldn't mind trying to get to one of these if it's going on while I happen to be around.

I went to Budapest last month and finally got around to putting the pictures up. It's funny how many street vendors sell Hard Rock Cafe shirts even though it doesn't exist there. I spotted a few nice Ferrari's, Porsches, M3's, etc,... I wouldn't mind going back there for a bit more...

The Rally was pretty cool. It was very well organized. The local radio stations interviewed the drivers and aired the team radio discussions too. All the drivers seemed to be happy with the track conditions and car setups. I have a ton of shots, but these are the ones I chose to put on my...

So next fall I'll be returning to the US, and it's likely I'll get to choose from a few locations. I have a good feeling the one guy wants R&D built up in Farmington Hills, but this doesn't help motivate me. http://realestate.msn.com/buying/Article_Forbes.aspx?cp-documentid=12808843&GT1=35000

I got to drive this yesterday in Germany. The only downside was the autoshifter. I got up to 157 on the autobahn but had more fun on the back roads. Most of the turns were long sweepers, but it was fun going from 1st through most of 5th in a long uphill turn that was nicely cambered. The car...

I'm just watching tv and I see a commercial suggesting to companies to move to Michigan for the available talent, assistance, etc,... While that isn't very interesting, the fact that I'm in Norway seeing this means that somebodies at least making an effort to find jobs outside of other states...

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/01/23/australia.crocodile/index.html A man who rescued a co-worker from the jaws of a crocodile in northern Australia also accidentally shot him in the process, police said. The two men were collecting crocodile eggs by a river bank in Australia's...

My friends little brother got burned quite badly after a paint can blew up in a bon fire. The whole family is quite stressed out, so I was hoping to get something that might help them cope with the situation. I'm thinking there's got to be something better than flowers. My only challenge is I...

Just browsing CNN's webpage, and found this which linked to Detroit http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/14132485/detail.html Federal Prosecutor + Child mellestor + jail = not so good for him.

I have a dohc head that I want to get honed for the new cams. Does anybody know of any shops that have hones that can do this (besides the hand held stuff). I'd prefer something fairly close to Auburn Hills.

Surprisingly I ran some good times. I didn't hear many times, but I ended up running faster than an 06 Subaru STI (with gutted interior), a Mazda Protege5 (they have no power, but handle good), and a new Golf. All of which I figure should have done better. My best was a 44.9 while the above...
