    Just saw the new Tesla Y... What an abomination of an appliance...looks like someone overlapped a model 3 and a X on photoshop and someone else thought it would be a good idea to send it to production.

    I must admit he has great taste in GM cars!

    My stable surely has changed since the last time I posted. Sold the E38 and bought a Designo Mocha Weistec 06 W211 E55 AMG making about 700 RWHP as well as an amazing fully built, Japanese magazine featured 1984 Nissan R30 Skyline from Japan (it's at the port ready to get on a ship). I sold the R31 Skyline. Z31 engine bay is fully shaved, stitch welded and the car is about ready for paint! Engine is about to be assembled as well. Very exciting times for me to be back into my Nissan roots where my passion for cars began!

    Hey boys!

    Beautiful cars Brandon. Thanks again for checking out the Cadillac for me.

    65 fleetwood with 40-something thousand original. They pulled the heads to update the valve seats for modern fuel and ended up threading the wrong bolt through the wrong hole and cracking a cylinder wall.

    Gonna yank it, sleeve it, run it. Been looking at 64-66 caddy’s for years now.

    Still have the Chevelle, it’s still a monster. Been driving an 88 suburban I shipped here from Tucson AZ.

    Just got the paint correction on the M5 finished too. Gonna bring it in for some front end work probably tomorrow.

    Leo, a Fleetwood? Looks like a party on wheels!
    Just drop the 496 from the Chevelle in it, you can't drive all those cars at the same time.

    She’s a fleetwood alright! On her way to me as we speak!



    Lol the 496 STILL probably wouldn’t get that barge to spin a tire LOL

    Thanks man! Come down for a hang. New pad is pretty sweet.

    I actually do not have the barn anymore! What a disaster the end of that was. A story for another time perhaps.

    The burb will eventually be sold, gonna let me dad drive it until while he sells his T100 and finds/ships a clean K10 out here.

    Looking forward to seeing you this season man.

    I may or may not have also agreed to buy a 2002 540i 6 speed Sport with 114k in topaz blue that needs a clutch. Might be a good car to fix up and toss on BAT. They seem to be doing good cheddar.

    Hi Leo! You’re gonna have to play the opener g tune from The Love Boat every time you drive that Caddy!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Damn these tool truck peddlers that come to the shop! I only owed the Cornwell guy $75 when he came in today, $1100 later, got some new 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” socket locking trays, and a plier organizer rack, and these cool power tools from Milwaukee for the house.

    I’ve got all the SnapOn power stuff at work, figured I’d get me a set for the house, and yer right, can’t go wrong with the stuff from Milwaukee. The set with the 1/2” gun and the 3/8” ratchet game with an M12 2.0 and M18 5.0 battery and the double charger that does both, comes with the fan for free, next months special from Milwaukee, but he gave it to me early. Got the hacksaw and he threw in the M12 4.0 battery for free. Now I’m ready for war at home without having to lug certain tools from work!

    Thanks. Not many of them left on the roads. Bit of a long story but it was my mom’s. Been slowly going through it making improvements but keeping it mostly original. Rebuilt the 400 a couple of years ago to run on pump gas. Did a custom 2.5” stainless exhaust with x pipe and dual magnaflows. Has a nice lope at idle with an XR276 roller cam.
