Great site looking forward to meeting some members in Az.
Some quick answers to questions brought up in previous general forums.
Corporate owned vehicle given to builder to set- up for the '07 Sema show.
First registered in Sept, Calif registration with about 6000 miles
Made the show in Nov. Not as a Calmini (supplier) but for Optima batteries.
Not on main floor but as a demo truck in a closed (parking lot) course.
Used, but rock buggies and highly modifieds did the tough courses.
Pictured on optimabatteries.com last jpg on sema '07 section
Not 'Shrocked' but 'Calmini'd', bumpers front & rear (tire carrier), cat back exhaust, sliders, 5 inch lift, bilstein shocks, ProComp wheels & tires, fabricated 4 seat Mastercraft Baja RS 'dirty' seat inserts (black & grey)
After reading some great forum material I set a budget
wanted an 'offroad' ed for the 44 rear end
light color (live in the desert)
hoped to have enough to add a PGR mild lift and tire upgrade
I do alot of online research got lucky, basically no cost upgrades
I'm AARP eligible
sons 18 & 22 both at ASU next fall (no money)
married 26 yrs (she understands I'm 'car crazy')
grew up in SoCal
Volkswagens (Dino dinosaurs, Empi, Gene Berg)
Imports asst Alfa Romeo's (returning again next year - yea right)
Shelby's (buddy had a GT-500 KR conv sold for $6000 in '76 still at the Knotts Ford show every year lic GT500KR
Friend exotic car mech Ferrari Porsche Lambo (great fun)
20 yr ed mustang conv and my favorite 89 saleen conv (sold before my boys could drive)
Mitsu montero's last mitsu tech modified 2 door with 'John Baker'- (80's baja - factory race trucks) parts including interior roll bar, 2 inch lift, bfg's, headers, weber, cat back - ran woodpecker and martinez canyon but not with me in the pilot seat
I'm not a 'wrench' just enjoy all vehicles
Tired of all the JK 4 doors, FJ's & Hummers
Needed family vehicle for trips to Cali, Skiing and some 4WD trails moderate to light can't afford to fix too much yet.
Sorry this is so long, just in case it takes awhile to learn to navigate the forum with replies, you guys are the best. I know I couldn't keep up with DBAX even with a race truck, 'the only supercharged gen 2 X' you have what I would have wanted as a set-up I got lucky and hit the ground running. Never done with mods until you sell. Bumblebee for the Transformer car (I know not a Camaro, should have been a bug anyway) but the color is right.
Later, have great holidays
