My rides
It all started in Aug of 2003. I went to Reedman's in Langhorne PA and bought a brand new 2003 Xtreme pick up. I loved the truck to death. It had the 4.3L vortech motor with a 5 speed. Extended cab, red and side step. The truck was beautiful. I drove it around for a while and then became friends with a guy who was into imports. I went to some car shows with him blah blah blah and then I got the itch for imports. So in Feb of 2005 I went and traded my truck in (miss that truck so much even to this day) and bought myself a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon. I love the car, just wish I never got rid of my truck. Here's some pictures of it. Sorry but I like larger pictures, I can resize them if a mod wishes me to.
Performance Mods:
Injen Short Ram Intake
ARK Cat-back Exhaust
ARK Short Throw Shifter
Sumitomo All Weather Tires
Visuals:
FFF Custom Tuscani Badges
Midnight-Wolf Tuscani Mission Plate
ARK Temperature Knobs
Blacked Out Tails
ARK Shorty Antenna
Black Gas Door
Very minor stuff done to the Tib, but performance parts are especially expensive because I want only the good stuff and they have to be fabricated by a guy in Texas who specializes in Tiburons. Hope you guys like it even though it's an import.

A little under a month ago I get woken up at 5 am in the morning with my wife barging into the bedroom and flicking the light on, which I HATE, saying, "oh my God you're gonna be so mad." So my first reaction is, what the hell did I do now. She says, "your sister just found Rob sleeping with her best friend in the spare bedroom of their house!" Blah blah blah a little later on she barges in the room and says, "she took the Lightning and you're getting the Cobra and you have to drive her to go get her Expedition." So I'm like yeah cool let me go back to bed. Longer story short I got a free 1997 Cobra. The rear end was damaged cause the douche bag backed his own Ranger into it and never got it fixed and it sat for a year. Sticks lying all over it and dirt caked on it. After some cleaning here's what it looks like today.
Performance Mods:
BBK Cold Air Intake
Hooker LT Headers
Off Road X-Pipe
Borla Cat-back
MSD Coils
MSD 8.5mm Wires
Short Throw Shifter
3.73 Gears
Underdrive Pulleys
Visuals:
03-04 Cobra Wheels

Hell yeah I do. My first car was an 86 Camaro that I T-boned into a mini van. Bitch got the ticket and I was let off without even a warning. Never even knew what she looked like cause I didn't go see if she was ok cause I was pissed she made me lose my Camaro. Then shopping for other cars under the age of 18 my mom wouldn't let me get anymore Camaros cause she was over protective and I've been pining for one ever since. 1970 Chevelle is my all time favorite car and in second is pretty much any year Camaro.
