Just thought I'd say hi... total new guy here... love the F-Body and have been a fan ever since I was a frosh in highschool... just thought I'd share a story... to make the post more than "hey.. whats up.. I'm Kevin... thanks for letting me join.. yada yada yada"....
I designed websites when I was 16 in highschool... and saved up to buy an awesome 95z28.. loved that thing.. awesome awesome car... i had it for exactly three months and on oct 28th 2001 I decided to speed it and see how fast I could get it to go. I got up to 140mph on a short road in the middle of the night, and ended up going into a 50ft traintrack embankment.... these are two pics of the car... I have more if anyone wants to see them
You can see me and my sister standing in the background of the second pic. Needless to say, it was probably the DUMBEST thing I could've ever done... and it took me a good 3 yrs to save up for another camaro. Now I just have a regular fbody... a newer one w/ only 30,000 miles on it... but still... I drive like a grandmother now. Believe it or not the engine was still good... so a friend of mine and I parted it out and I sold the LT1 which bought me the car I drove for 3 yrs till I got the camaro I have now. I've shared my story w/ kids a lot quite a bit telling them why you should NOT speed.. I'm literally lucky to be here talking with you guys. Believe it or not... I got threw the accident without a single scratch on me... and a friend of mine, who was in the car with me when I had the accident, also did not have one thing happen to him. I guess the man upstairs was looking out for me huh?
Anyways, I was a total idiot i know and that is an understatement. Anyways, hope that was an enjoyable story... everyone I tell it to always goes.. "holy S**T... " lol... looking forward to meeting some of you guys and attending some of the get togethers and possibly the meet in august.. it's literally right down the street from where I am... as is the comfort inn that everyone is staying at. Anyways, catch you guys later...
