I loved it more when Pikes Peak had the dirty road.

My first stang was a 91 GT, GT40 upper and lower, stage 1 heads, custom cam, dumped exhaust and lots of other stuff. I researched everything myself and my friend @Gary and I did a lot of the mods ourselves. He also had a couple stangs.

My second stang was a 99 Cobra. Also had a 99 SS around the same time but didn't do much to that car. Both cars saw action around Greenville Ave and Forest Ln for those who know Dallas

This was when I was around 18.

Over the years I've had two Vettes as well, finally selling all that post-divorce and going back to sensible cars. That may not last much longer, as last year I bought a 12 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 with the Hemi, and enjoy it so much that I have been eyeballing the new 14 Jeep SRT with the 6.4L V8, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds for a SUV...

(Ignore youtube title, it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT not the Dodge)

I have a 2007 mustang, supercharged with methanol injection. I threw a smoke screen on it for giggles so I could be a little like James Bond.. I want a Corvette next

Talk about going fast...enjoyed watching the German Grand Prix last weekend (congratulations Sebastian Vettel), and I've always been fascinated with the orchestration of a sub 3-second stop. Found this slow-mo anatomy of an F1 [AUTOLINK]pit[/AUTOLINK] stop, and Mark Webber's world record 2.05 second stop in Malaysia this past April.
