I found a new home for my Rides, and they like it a lot better.

Found a 3 car garage in my price range. 4BR, 3 Bath, Full basement (half finished). 3300sq/ft. Sadly a little further way, now in Rockford.

The same person hand painted it the current colors, Brick, by Brick, then painted all the mortar. It used to be red!

Howdy strangers!

Yeah, I'm a bit further away from NWI these days, myself.

Moved to Colorado and live in Kauai, HI part time, as well.

Hope y'all are doing well! Miss ya!

So yeah I haven't shown face here in almost 20 years but hey, life got the better of me

At any rate if anyone cares, here's a brief summary of what I've been up to since I was here last.

I believe I was still attending WyoTech last time I was here. Well, let's try to make a long story as short as possible....

I didn't finish WyoTech right away. I ended up joining the Army. Did my 4 years and got TF out...

Ended up marrying my high school sweetheart, had a son in 2009. Was living in Colorado Springs when my wife was stationed at Fort Carson, my son was born on Fort Carson, actually. Went back to WyoTech to finish my degree in 2012. Got divorced shortly thereafter. Worked in NWI for a couple years after that.. Moved back to Colorado in 2015, met my soulmate in a Walmart parking lot (even longer story lmao). Still in Colorado but no longer in Colorado Springs. Now I own an 80 acre ranch in the middle of nowhere, Colorado, with a great view of the entire Front Range..

Worked as a European Performance Technician (mostly VW's Audis and Porsches) for a couple years. Was a really cool shop. I got to work on a couple cars that went up the mountain (Pikes Peak International Hill Climb) and one was a regular winner... Wasn't happy with money in the auto repair industry, so I quit turning wrenches. Started farming industrial hemp in 2018. Still a hemp farmer, happy as hell, loving life!

My new wife was born and raised in Kauai, HI so that's why I spend some of my time there, as well.

Life has been very up and down over the years but these days, very much up. I hope you all are doing half as well as I am, if so, you're doing great! I miss y'all!

I'm hoping to find another 3rd gen one of these days! I still kick myself in the *** for selling my 87 T/A, but at the time I was hard up for cash.. Oh well.

So, if anyone has a line on a decent 3rd gen T/A I'd love to see some listings! I'm looking for something preferably with little or no rust (lol Colorado spoiled me) and preferably with TPI. The rest doesn't really matter but black interior/exterior would be optimal. Fun Fact: I still have a 9 bolt Borg Warner rear end, 700r4 trans with corvette servos and shift kit, and complete TPI setup collecting dust in my dad's garage in IN.. One day.. Oh yes, one day...

At least you can still fake it, I moved to Tennessee last year..
