Hey guys, Long time no type.

Well, I see ALOT of new people around here. So I figure it's time for a howdy.

I havent been on the site in a while for different reasons, but they have recently been taken care of. While I have been gone, I've been busy with my School and work for the most part.

I'm now done with my Associates, and have already started on my BA in Mechanical Engineering. I'll be done with that in 1.5 years, and then It's full speed ahead for my MBA. Work wise, I have been promoted from Machine operator, to CNC tech. It was one hell of a payraise, but also ALOT more responsibility. Stacie and I are doing very well, and looking at a wedding sometime next year (NO specifics yet.) But I'll let you guys know.

For the courious, I still have the 98' GMC, and the 94 5-Speed VIII. It's back on the road, with a new transmission, 4.10's, Cobra Hubs, big brakes, and 17x9 bullitt wheels. As you know it's technically my dad's car (I seem to do all the work, so it's out here with me.)

Now that I'm finacially free, I'm in the market for a 98 LSC or something comparable, only time will tell tho.

I'm down for an old School LVC midwest meet, if you get one setup.

Take care guys.

Mike

Mike sold it to The Reaper and The Reaper has been thinking about parting it out.

He still has it, and won't be parting it out.

I sold it because I've moved on in life and did'nt really have a use for it, nor the space to store it.

The 5-speed mark is getting ready for a complete re-paint, as soon as I can get away from work for a couple of weeks. Expect a big write up on that as well.

Take care guys

Mike
