Am sure I am not well remembered, since after I had to return the Merc after almost 2 weeks cause of the dealer trying to pull some crap I kinda just lost my way here. Was bored on the net and this place popped into my head so I figured I would stop over and say hey. If I remember the lost I had said was I got my Lincoln back after returning the merc and than traded in for a cobalt ls, since than I moved up alittle, to an SS/SC and have been enjoying it for the last 9 months. Got a few things done to it, pushing around 275-85 to the crank and enjoying spanking unexpecting stangs and such here and there of course, street racing is not my thing.

Anywho, just saying hey. Hope all is well for you all, hey Tom

Oh and not sure but I keep spotting a black marauder on idlewild and sometimes other roads around me kinda wondering if its the same car I had for a short period. They would have gotten it from Pinnacle Lincoln on Independence if it was, I hope they treated you better than I.


Here are some pics if you are interested, I have heard the whole "get rid of the vinyl its blah blah" and I almost did the day I got it and was determined too but after seeing that the club I am in has like 4 other yellow balts I figured I would keep them since it sets me apart from them and now w/ the wheels it all flows nicely and everyone who saw pics first and than in person said it looks much better in person and I have not gotten one negative comment about them to my face(maybe scared) but I like em now besides it saying cobalt, but I still get people asking what I drive haha. As I have said to some, its very underestimated and i LOVE it! :) The 3 new stang gt's I have taken do not though :) But who knows, they could of been crappy drivers or this car is quicker than I give it credit. Upcoming changes well be painted calipers, tint, modified stock hood w/ scoup, memphis sub and amp(stock system is pioneer w/ sub but does not hit like I want it too hence the new sub and amp) and lambo doors(mainly for shows since I do alot of them).

Anyway, onto the pics. Pretty much most recent here

How it looked the day after I brought it home, wheels were returned/swapped out for stockers because I did not want them cause of rust in the lug holes

lol, actually got what I wanted in the end w/ the SS, cannot argue w/ the power it has and is going to have eventually(my type of car anyway, small and quick)

Coming home on 74 by the Dale Jarret ford I saw a silver 'rauder. Was kinda in a hurry to get home so I just passed by. Might of been this one guy who lives in my g/fs development though, do not think he is on here.

Hey Beamer!!

Yeah--I remember ya--that dealership screwed ya for sure back then ---glad you got something with some zing--wow is the word--that thing sounds fast ---have to admit I haven't seen one up close....I still have my Red Line Beauty---she 's a keeper for sure...

Have you done any exhaust stuff yet?....Gotta meet again some time ..nice hearing from you ....keep us posted with any stuff like you have already...Tom.

Yea the car has the GMPP extruded and honed exhaust manifold and the GMPP performance exhaust setup right now, would like to upgrade but this is good for now until and if I decide to add bigger power mods, being a 4 banger I love the sound, just wish it was slightly louder for my pleasure. But its tough to just get something else cause who knows if I would end up w/ a weed whacker after.

Saw the black MM again the day after I posted this, he was coming over a rail road crossing near the Bakers fire department, just saying in cause he is on here but am not sure. I keep checking to see if the emblem on the back of the trunk is sitting funny, I remember it was dented in on mine when I had it and never had a enough time to fix it.
