Even though I lurk around here a couple of times a year...unlike back in the day this place was a staple in my life...I saw a 2nd gen gsx on Facebook marketplace recently and it had me feeling very nostolgic. So I thought I'd stop by and say hello!
Just over 11 years ago my twins boys were born, and not long after that I started detuning my 98 talon selling off the parts and eventually the car itself. I never really missed it much. I loved wrenching on it and learning new things about it and mechanics in general. But life took me in another direction. Since then, I've been divorced, moved several times, lost a job of 14 years, had many relationships and "relationships" of varying degrees of success, and finally found a love that can put up with me
So after 11 years of not having a toy to drive around I finally allowed myself to spoil myself and picked up a 2014 Camaro SS. I love just being able to jump into it, stomping on the gas, burn some dead dinosaurs, and have a grin from ear to ear. I gotta tell ya though, the bug to modify is strong, and hard to resist. But for now I just want to enjoy it for what it is.
I truly hope all that read this are doing well and have a very happy new year!

I'm still here buddy! Great to hear from you, don't be a stranger, come hang out in the chat (if you can, we've been having some email issues that probably affect registration)
Happy New Year!

Awesome to hear from you!
I'll have to check it out! I still keep up with some of the Michigan crew a bit through social media. Like the Matt's and Derek. Tim actually married my cousin, so I see him from time to time at family functions.
I read the thread about Shamu. Man, that brought back some memories. And seeing some OG names.

I think I fixed email earlier today, so if you get a reply notification, email's good and you can probably reset your password in the chat and log in

Whoa! It's Kent! Hey, Amigo! I hope you've been well. I just remembered my PW and went to The Pit's to see if there was any activity, and poof, here you are!
When you said you still get together with the Matts, is one of those the ones that lived or still lives in the GR area? I haven't seen him in YEARS.
