Yeah, the truck would be supercharged, but still running roughly the same times as Shug. Maybe a tad bit faster.

Nice! That porch is awesome, and it looks like the shop isn't half bad either. :)

Did he like it? Why did he leave?

Ya could always turn into a southern gal and have Shug reworked so she's higher of the ground. maybe 4x4 even. Monster Cobra style. :)

Heard you were coming.

He went to flight school for American Airlines. He is in Florida right now, either finishing up school or flying planes. Not sure which.

Uh huh... smart aleck! Just so long as it wasn't some adverse condition or local weirdness...

Now THAT would be AWESOME... I would DIE if I saw something like that. LOL.

Hmmm, the house next door to me is for sale. :oP And I think I said this, but if you have occasion to pass through Baton Rouge and need a cup of coffee or even a bed for the night, let me know. I also have a friend that lives in Nashville that can be tapped for info.

That's verrah nize! Like the houses in my neighborhood, but sew 2 story's and the lots are small because I'm real close to the big city.

Somebody down here has turned a 66 into mudbogger. I saw it a while back. The car was a total wreck before so they used the shell basically and put in a souped up V8 and 4 wheel drive with lifted suspension. It no longer reads Mustang but Mudstang. :-) Wish I had my digital camera with me. They definately had watched too much Monster Garage.

LOL cool

Google Images is awesome. Check out the following:

I would soooooooooo drive the Cobra II. That thing looks great. the 2nd French page has a Hummer with tracks. they ran a deal on the news last winter about a guy in Utah I think. He had a Chevy P/U (96?) that he had done that with. It cost him about 30k, but he said he can drive it anywhere, anytime.

Well thank You! That's very nice!

Yeah, I saw an episode of "Tactical to Practical" recently on the History channel that featured the company that makes those 4x4 track kits. Before that, I think I also saw them in an issue of Popular Mechanics many years ago.

They really are something else, able to handle a much wider variety of terrain than regular tires.
