Hey guys. I got a nearly brand new the other week with a small catch - the previous owner had a habit of turning into poles in her parking garage. The rear passenger door is slightly stoved in, as is the pass. side quarter panel. By "stoved in" I don't mean huge dents, rather the small, 1"-6" type along with a decent amount of paint damage in those areas.

I don't want to tell the car just yet, 'ees going to be a photo surprise. However, it's white.

Any suggestions for good places in the area to go for bodywork?

From my friend's Craigslist Ad:

The car has a 3.4-liter, 32-valve V8 with a secondary intake runner system that allows the car to breathe freely up to its 7000 RPM redline. The engine output is 238hp and 230 pound feet of torque from the factory. It has a smooth shifting 4 speed auto-trans with overdrive. It is a beautiful candy apple red with 16-inch alloys and chrome center caps.

Car has 154,000 miles on it but has many new parts. The car has been amazingly well maintained by my step-father (the original owner of this car.) I have receipts from day one of all of its services and maintenance. The cams are welded ($700+ procedure), which if you donÔÇÖt know is the biggest maintenance expenditure on these vehicles, and once performed the engines last forever. Synthetic oil was used throughout the car's life.

The car runs great and has no issues at all, except for a faulty coolant level sensor (occasionally the low coolant light comes on even when tank is full). New front brakes and tires 2 months ago. All work done to this car was performed by Protech Automotive, a shop in Maryland that specializes in SHOs. This car is very fast and handles better than most rear-drive cars that I have driven. It also has a full leather interior and a 6 CD changer w/Mach 1 sound system . Power everything (windows, door locks, keyless entry). There is a sunroof and alarm system too.

Please call Brian at 240-308-0147 (reasonable offers will be considered - no trades)

This car shows great in person - the pictures don't do it justice. My best friend is a SHO nut and he has never seen a third-gen SHO this nice. No stone chips, deep paint - just a great looking car inside and out.

found this while looking around, someone might want it.

i've heard the full song before, but i forget who it is by. this song by busta is the only thing i can find related to it...

I love the feeling of speed, no matter what medium it's in.
I love sexy lines on a car almost as much as I like them on a woman.
I love the sound of a sick, sick exhaust note.
I love boost.
I love the bond they can give you with a complete stranger.
I love that driving on open, twisty mountain or countryside roads on a sunny day will be a deathbed memory of mine.

Why do you love cars?

I've mentioned it a few times on this forum that I play a little home game and online poker. $1,000 of the roughly $3,000 I spent on my motor rebuild (this is including all of the things I bought involved in the motor rebuild and swap, including tools) came from online poker wins.

I wasn't able to play for the month or so after the engine swap (no money to play with) but I bankrolled myself $100 a week and a half ago and have been working on my game. I doubled the hundred in two days playing pot limit omaha hi/lo and then dropped $150 in 5 card draw the next day. Repeat that....make money in a game I kill at...lose it at another I think I'm good at (and one day I'll prove it with actual winning sessions).

Anyway, to make a long story short....I was down to the last 21 dollars of my bankroll (dropped $100 on 5 card draw tournaments on Thanksgiving day) and turned back to my A game - Pot limit omaha hi/lo.

Short story shorter....ono top of the $70 in ring game winnings I took down Friday night....I just took down 1st out of 64 in a $30+$3 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo tournament for $576.

So yeah...I feel pretty damn good that anytime I want to play a winning session of poker I can...and tonight was especially good.

And if you are thinking to yourself that maybe I'm a dumbass for dropping all my winnings in 5 card draw games....I'd have to point out that that is exactly what I did playing Omaha before I got good.

Practice is key, except that it costs you money in this game.

Not really anything..just me and some guys screwing around in a basement..this is our setup so far. What you cant see are the new 800 watt peavey Trapezoidal enclosures being powed by the 8 input 300watt PA in the picture. 1 15" woofer and 1 90 x 40 degree horn in each one. 100watt Line6 AxSys 2x12, 100 watt Lonestar Mesa Boogie head/cabinet.

No bass amp in these pictures..probably gonna run the bass through the PA because our bass player is too lazy to buy an amp..we've been borrowing a Fender Bassman

Richard Burns apparently succumbed to brain cancer sometime yesterday evening. Another tough year for rallying with rally co-driver Michael Park getting killed at Rally GB a few months ago.

God speed Richard
