Description My friend Karno came into town a while back and I had the Camaro out. He's a bit of a shutter bug and decided to take a photo of me with my car.Ā 

So this is the face behind the meyham. Man, I am getting short. When I was in high school I had a photo taken with the car for the high school yearbook for the highschool drags and I definately was taller. Or maybe it was just this angle. The photo from highschool didnt make it in because I was unoficially expelled. I know my spine has collapsed and my posture is shit, too.

This is my happy face. I don't get much more giddy or happy than whatcha see here.

So far the only other person who has seen me and my car is

This picture could almost be 1975 as easily as it could be here and now. I am SUCH a big hippie.


I USED to street race. I never lost. (But then I never raced outside of my "class". If I knew someone was going to smoke me then I wouldn't race. My GREATEST victory was a guy in a BOSS 302 Mustang (90s 'Stang) who had it chipped and supercharged. Technically I LOST... but the Mustang guy was good enough to admit I had the faster car and declared me the winner. I coughed it on the line and was catching up and was flying up his ass when I learned my fuel pump couldn't keep up with the engine.)

I DO NOT race anymore. It's foolish and I have no respect for people who race on the street. I don't care if it's in the mountains or a street closed off by other racers. Keep it on the track, folks.

My hair is thinning. I am fighting it tooth and nail too. I don't like how I look with short hair. Let alone no hair. I would end up looking like Trevor from GTA 5.

My hair started going away when I was 15! Now, I wear hats to look young, LOL.

A guy in auto shop class was losing his hair bad in high school. Lucky for him he was such a good guy nobody teased him. Losing my hair is scary for me because I have a pencil neck.

I keep joking with friends that I'm going to comb it forward and spray it so that if it moves it'll look like I'm waving at people

I whipped a guy sitting behind me at a pro wrestling event once when a wrestler made his entrance to Bad Company.

I was going to say, I thought you were up in my age range *lol*

Nice car! That is just about Thunderwing's scale color.

Yeah, 39 in April. 20 years longer than a lot of people thought I'd get.


Thanks! It's taken me a LONG time to get it that far. I still need to color sand but it's looking almost like we just gotta do the roof. We used a paint gun that cost a small fortune. Not much overspray at all.

Thank you! It's a family heirloom. Been with us since 1970.

It will be the last thing to go for me, next to my house. A little bit of everyone I love is in that car. Last person I caught messing with it learned the hard way that a carbon fiber hood on a 626 is not as tough as it looks. Now all I have to do is fine out who shredded a Pepsi can and put the shreds in my engine oil.Ā 


I hope you get something one day and everything gets better in your life. What kind of car was it?

Tuned up 2006 Chev Cobalt. Just put a 800w speaker system in it too.

Oh nice! The little sister of an old friend had an SS with a supercharger pushing so much air they had to upgrade to a belt with teeth. Not sure what kind of times it was running at the track.

I need a stereo in my daily driver.

Sure helps. Miss my mirrors reverberating. Lol. Guess I saved my hearing.

I can actually put a stereo in this Camaro now. I had a gear driven valvetrain that made so much noise I'd be deaf with a stereo I could hear. The gear whine almost made my ears bleed as it was.

I would just have to do it in a remote way, like everything in the trunk. These are easy as hell to break into. I can jimmy my lock with a license plate.
