Your truck looks great.

I'm very jealous of this other vehicle of yours. I really miss mine. I love seeing pics of them. My engine compartment was very different, but your is beautiful. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. Are you the original owner?

That GN is my pride and joy. I bought that when I was 17 and owned it ever since. I did do some upgrades to it, but still kept all the original parts. It is getting very hard to find a really nice one. There is one on ebay now with 2200 miles. here is the link... EBAY 1987 GN (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4531792829&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT)

I bought mine for a little under 20k new when I was 19. There are a couple on ebay with low miles. Seems there always are. The wife would kill me if I bought one and had the HUMMER. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I should never have gotten rid of it. Congrats.

Now excuse me while I sulk.

Tricked out a bit, the GNX is pretty quick in a straight line, but the brakes get hot really fast and fade is scary as hell.
Personally, I'd rather have a tricked out '96 Impala SS.

The Best all around package was the 1989 Trans Am Turbo Pace Car. It had the 3.8 turbo, the suspension, brakes and conrol all wrapped up in one. The 96 Impala SS was a great car. 96 was the best year too, it finally had the console shifter on the floor, then in 97 it all went away...

happy, what do you do for a living?

Happy, I had an Impala also. Did just a few engine mods to it but it was bad luck. I kept it less than a year. Had a mirror ripped off, got hit in a parking lot and finally got hailed on. I had to say Bye-bye.

Those T/A's were very quick. I raced this guy with one many times here. Tons of fun.

Let me know how the KB SC goes. I used many of his parts on my GN.

I had an 87 T-type that was almost the same as a GN but, I had a small accident before I made the first payment!

http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif HOLY SH*T!!!! You were lucky... What in the world did you hit a Mack truck??? The T Type was the same as the GN except for the wheels and the interior.

That old polaroid film box brings back memories...

Actually, I slid across a wet road and got hit by a Chevy Citation. After I woke up from the coma and 3 months of hospital/rehab I came out with just nerve damage to one eye! On a lighter note, I just bought this today.

Damn, I'm glad you are not worse off. I would have felt pretty bad making that joke.

Nice car.

Nice car... I LOVE MY E55. What a sleeper. Now you just need a supercharger or the twin turbo for the S and you will FLY!!!! Did you buy that from Benson in Annapolis?

Picked it up Saturday from Mercedes Benz of Annapolis (formerly Benson) It is my first Benz and so far it has really impressed me, I was worried about reliability so I got the 5 year warranty. It is a 2001 with 39K miles, I am thinking I need a new digital camera, see my wild turkey in the background!

Is that a 500? If so, great car.

How's your eye doing?
Maybe the dinged up eye is why the turkey feels safe around you.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Rob Those wheels and tires look great on the red SUT They really gave it a whole new look all you need now is a matching rear wheel and tire and your set. It was great doing business with you.

Thanks

Awesome...Did you take it down to D&L in White Marsh???

No... I took it to Lester Shine in Bel Air off of Bond Street. He has a nice deal he will wash and vac the truck for $25.00. So when I am in Bel Air for a meeting I will drop it off and let him do it. He also has great deals on window tint.
