I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal labotomy

welcome

Welcome to the site! Thats a very different take on a stripe theme you've got there. Let me guess the chevrons in the stripe represent your rank in the military?

quick86----Sure ... I work just south of Holt ... What's with the "rice" in your garage?--- during the crappy months I roll in a tricked out flat-black 2000 Grand Am, you'd know it if you saw it (EVUL 1 on the plate)

I worked as a Honda technician for a while. I know these cars quiet well. It's a great little car, killer economy... It's like driving a go-kart. Great for daily/winter/crap weather duties. Hell of a controllable car in snow drifting as well.

Welcome and I like the custom strip on your bird.

Guess that makes a little sense, sort of. I worked at a local Ford dealership for a while, they really loved it when I pulled up in my '78 Z28 (ended up selling it a few years after that).


Glad to see you guys like my stripe. Too bad it's going through a major cosmetic change right now. I just put a new '98-'02 style ram-air hood on it, so I'm switching it to a dual stripe. Still working on the design for that, but I'll make sure to post the pics when it's done.

Which Ford store did you work at? Metro? Campus/Courtesy?

It was Campus Ford at the time, before the Barrons' got "jacked" by Ford for misappropriating funds.

lmao. Yup. Ford wasn't too happy with the Barron family.

I was their Quick Lube Tech, while I was training to be an auto-tech ... Got really tired of the B.S. at a dealership, so I never certified. I'm a Field Suprvisor for a local landscaping/lawn care company, now. I just do automotive work for fun.

Nice. I went there twice for service on my Lightning ----- only because it was a ***** to change the oil on it in the driveway, so I'd drive it in there, and watch the lube guys there do it... but that was long after the Barron's had lost it. it was Courtesy Ford....

They're definitely easier to do on a lift. The only cars that I hated to work on there were the Yamaha powered SHO's. Funny thing is I ended up picking up a '90 SHO (5-speed w/60k miles) with that engine, for $3000 while I was working there. Made a good family-performance car, at least until my divorce.

THOSE are a pain in the ass... True... They took a big ass Yamaha designed V6 and stuffed that ***** in there, lmao... Fun cars, PITA to maintain.


Like I said, when the weather warms up, we'll have to meet up some time.

I'm usually cruising around the Holt area on those nights. There's SUPPOSED to be a Sonic opening on the south side of Lansing which will be the perfect place to hang out this spring. We'll see about that tho!
