Anyone out in Pittsburgh??

I am heading to pittsberg for work, possible next week. I will know for sure at the end of the week. Just wondering how the fox scene is out there.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

"Pittsburgh"
Good luck with your new job.
There are a lot of fox bodies in the area, mainly in the warmer months.

I'll let you guys know at yes it is "Pittsburgh Pa.". It will be a temporary job. It is through my work right now. I'm not sure the time frame yet, but like I said, I will know probably this week. Its going to be rough, but they are giving me per deim, and I'll make an extra dollar an hour and hit overtime for the first time in months. So we will see how it goes.

Just so you guys know, I am there, or should I say here now. My work gave me enough notice to get myself packed and nearly 4 hours of sleep. 960 miles Thursday through a lot of snow, ending at 2:00am .starting @ 5:00 a.m.today, and ending at 2;30 am.

Some opinions about the states I've seen so far, from the perspective of one whom has not gone very far.

Wyoming, wenr about how I expected. Got more plain like then I thought it would.
Nebraska, not super plain like, but still pretty far. Can"t belive it took 500 miles to crossed with i-80.
Iowa, not flat at all. Lots of hills, many open feilds. Never saw one state patrol.
Crossing the mississippi is something I will never forget. We don"t have "rivers" like that where I am from. Its also about the only thing I could see the whole drive, because of weather conditions.
Michigan, did not see much except big delapadated barns and lots of land. Couple of cool bridges, bad roads.
Illinouis. Wasn"t in it long enough to really joke about.
Ohio. I went i-80 all the way. For two light duty pickups, $125 or just to grace yourselves with our pleasure? Bad roads too. Speed limit signs are almost non-existant, and no warning what is or isn't a toll. Overall much worse roads then chicago, and too many bridges around. Seems like there was just some way you could have used more.
Pensylvainia. I'm all of 10 feet inside of it, but I don't think I could fart without my gps here. Was also the first time I even pulled it out the whole drive. Couldn't anyone make a straight road back in the day?

Glad to see you made it. It looks like you had a heck of a trip. If you think our roads have alot of curves you should try driving in West Virgina. I just got a job in Morgantown I start on the 7th, the road I'll be driving is nothing but curves. It would be nice to have a sports car to push through the twisties. lol! It's too bad you weren't in Pittsburgh last week, they had the auto show going on. I've never been to it because it's mostly new cars but it sounds like it's pretty cool to see.
