Pretty cool (small) magazine write up about me....

For those that dont know, My Automotive background is in American Muscle and Lowriders=)

I've owned an SS MonteCarlo,Grand National, T-Type Regal,78Cutlass Lowrider,79Cutlass Lowrider,78 Monte Carlo. I used to build them and go to shows with male friends to drive the cars into the venues to avoid the insecure drama that comes along with playing in a male dominated sport. Most guys were very cool, but to sum its not really acceptable.....

I love cars...all cars, so I did what I thought was right at the time. :sad:

When I first built the SC, my plans were to throw in an LS1 and boost it like crazy:biggthumpup:

Anywayz, My management recently told me that this article was running in a HotRod Magazine this month:runcoold: They'e kinda pushing me back towards that direction more and more recently.....

Thank so much!!

I wont:biggthumpup: They dont even know Im doing the VIP stuff.=) VSC is like a 'getAway' for me...some place I can just chill and BS without all the drama (good and bad) that I've opened myself up to....

Plus My GS is about 90% done now :dance:

Now, If I can jus figure out a way to squeeze 29hrs into a 24hr day, I'll be set!

Yes, The 8 series were on Daytons!! LoL!! Sold and replaced with lower milage versions that are pretty stock because of the cost to maintain and operate.



I had one of the MonteCarlos on all gold D's (that I still have ) and lifted too :D I will scan and load the pics.

everything else was pretty stock, cept for a few billet pieces and other nick nacks...nothin special.

The Regal had custom paint that most purist hated. I wouldnt have done it but I didnt know better at the time.

I was into a different scene a few years ago :shrug:

I love the pics of your older cars!!! My first car was a 84 Coupe Deville that i quickly juiced (3 pumps, 12 batteries, 9 switches) and it got stolen from me the day I put the wheels on (13x7s 80 spoke Luxor Knock-offs with 155R13s now thats a stretch LOL!!). I see you were running triple gold Daytons and those were $$$ compared to the other companies out there. I wanna see the camaro build in the future. My girl just got her an 05 Z06 and the first thing we doing to that is dropping the exhaust. What are the plans for teh Slowmaro SS?

I'll do it before she does........Calling what she had a 3-series is like calling an LS a Tercel. Those are 8-series and if I'm not mistaking they are 850s rocking V12s!!

Gold Daytons are so gangster! They make the scara look like those teddybear wheels when they pull gangster rank. Maybe thats what my SEL needs ;)
