Re: noobie... Reply #4 – February 02, 2005, 09:00:09 PM I remember him doing burnouts in the wendys parking lot when we worked there. That old t-bird was rough looking! I will snag a pic of it next time I'm at the J-yard. John and his new t-bird are the reason I have my cougar. Cruisin in his car is crazy pimpin and I just had to have it for myself. That 8.8 is there because we could never get the gear changes right with the 7.5. Can't wait to go to cat jam. Quote Selected
