About my Car
I bought it in 2001, while on a Western Pacific deployment, from a dealer in Clovis, NM. I took possession of the car in August 2001. I competed in my first car show at Extreme Autofest 2006 in San Diego, and took Second Place "Best 3000GT." I took First Place "2nd Gen" at WCNC 2006 in Las Vegas. Due to being deployed, I was away from the car show circuit until 2010, where I competed at the RPM car show in Irvine, CA. I took Second Place "Best Daily Driver" in a pretty large field of cars, including all makes and models. Love this platform, and although I don't have the speed of the VR-4's, I do have the reliability and peace of mind. In April 2007, I drove the car from San Diego, CA to Newport, RI and back, without incident!
This has turned out to be a great hobby, and I'm glad I have my dream car!
