my life and attitude seems to mimic a cliched action movie character or some badass out of a story somewhere. i was a badass in the marines, i have a badass wife and i live a badass life. so naturally i had to keep with the image and drive a badass car. i always liked older muscle cars because i grew up with them. my dad always had one, from his 68 chevelle to his 96 SS impala, there was always some wrenching going on (he owns a 10sec 70 chevelle now with the front end apart being restored, with a 454 bored to 496 with two holley 950's on a huge tunnel ram!). i first had a 66 mustang daily driver in the marines until i flipped that through the air one night and was lucky to walk away. then i bought a sweet red 68 GTO that I used as a daily driver until i recently had to sell it to pay off some debt i built up. i saw my firebird in a car add two years ago for a good price and i snatched it up. why a firebird? i grew to love pontiacs while i owned the GTO, i was real involved, was a member of the delaware valley old goat club, read up on tons of info etc. i always loved the look of the ls1 birds but couldnt afford one since i just bought my wife a car so i got the lt1. my bird is fast, loud, rude, unforgiving, and looks pretty good for its age...just like me.
