I am a Linux/Unix System and Storage Administrator for a nation-wide (US) broadband ISP. In real words I take care of a bunch of servers and a lot of hard drives.

Driving the 7 is way more fun....

yeah she'll be in the 12's later this year with the 13B P-port I'm building. Then after next winter i should have the microtech, gt35r, S4 TII rotating assembly, and custom intake to boost the p-port then i have no idea how fast she'll go.



That 15.421 is with a weber tuned for a 12a streetport, and jerryriged exhaust.

But anyways..

I may get an FD someday. I can afford it now. I will never get rid of the FB, though. I have had it for nearly 12 years now. It got me around during my long education. Once I get a house and garage, I will be doing a nice restore.

One is being built in Finland now. Another will be started in France soon. A couple more may be going up in China.

gslse addict, now your avatar pic makes perfect sense. Nuclear power is a viable alternative to the coal/oil mess we've "addicted" our country to. It is possible to do that tech right and have a true "no worries" nuke plant powering the Chevy Volts of the future. The technology on what to do with the spent fuel has also advanced considerably to the point that may not be a problem either a scant decade away.


redfb, once you get out of the military, you need to open a custom shop and then start making body kits for unloved body styles like our 1stgens...
