By the way, I am always glad to hear of young people into muscle cars [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] (especially if they prefer "muscle" over ìriceî LOL!)
Itís nice to know we will have a future generation to take care of our cars.

Mr. Lillard, my neighbor wishes to remain anonmous as he thinks that it would be a detriment to his investment if everyone knew that he was training a protoge. Haha, no I am just kidding my neighbor is Jude Heddick. Man I hope that I spelled his last name right, and sorry if I didn't.

Anyway, I wanted to tell all of you that believe it or not, there are alot of guys and gals out there that are my age or younger that love these cars. Further more, I believe it was Car and Driver that did a survey asking highschool kids if they could have any car to drive what would it be. The results were fairly surprising, since you had around 12% saying that they would want an import or import type car, 10% wanting a truck, 2 % wanting the pontiac vibe, 20 % wanting to drive some type of luxery car, and a resounding 56 % wanting a 60's muscle car! If there is one thing that I want to pass on to all of you is that I can not stress enough is DRIVE YOUR CARS!!!!. I know that alot of you have cars that are very rare, but a vehicle does need to be driven on occasion, and what better thing to do than drive it around to neighborhood for all of the little kids to see. The one thing that I will never get tired of all of the thumbs up and the yells of excitement from all of the kids in my neighbor hood and my local cruise spots when I get to drive the 68' Z-28. The kids today are what will ensure the value of your investment will continue to rise.

Anyway, like I promised I will post pics as soon as I get them sized down. And once I begin to post pics.....it never stops.

Howdy Mike....and welcome to the board.



Glad to see that you and other young guys that I know have a interest in the Supercars, both vintage as well as late model.

I note that you're in the Atlanta/Marietta, GA area which puts you in close contact with GMMG who built the 02 ZL1 cars. If you don't know already, I'am sure Matt Murphy will enjoy talking to you.

Mr. Lillard!! Wow, manners, welcome. By the way the Charley Sucks sign is Mr. Lillard!!

[Charley Lillard]

"Mr Lillard"...I like that. Maybe the rest of you Yahoos should call me that also instead of things Like Idiot, Bozo and Charley Sucks........ [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Charley.gif[/img]....Yeah, starten to feel like an Adult......

[DarrenX33]

Ok, how do we edit that graemlin to include "Mr. Lillard". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, regarding the "young ones" not to worry. I working on the toddler age group as we speak. My 3 year old can spot a set of rally wheels from a mile a way. I should have had Bill Wildt interview him at Vettefest. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Now that is what I call an education.

My roomies and I all crowd around the computer when ever we are on really cool sites, and this is one of them. I frequent www.svtperformance.com, and also my local site www.auburnextremeracing.com. Both are great sites for new muscle cars, but I was really hoping to find a site that catered to mine and my roomates old car obsession. My roomie Jason drives a 67 nothch back Mustang, and so you can imagine he loves stuff like this. And after finding this little oasis of car knowledge I think that I have hit the mark. I really just enjoy reading and not saying much, but on a few rare occasions I have spoken up.

As for the 02 Zl-1s my good friend that I go to school with down here got to talking about the #64 Garnett Red car and in talking we found out we had a whole lot more in common than we thought. He told me that his cousin was buying some really awsome new Camaro that was painted some kind of yellow, and had a 427. I light up like a Christmas tree, and blurted out "is it a Daytona yellow phase three ZL-1 Super car built by GMMG!?" To which his jaw dropped on the floor cause he never expected anyone else especially his own age to know what the heck he was talking about. So his Cousin owns # 46...what a small world.

Another small world is when I ran into one of the guys that works at GMMG while I was out at out local cruise spot. I had been out galavanting around just checking out some cars when I met this guy with a very plain Z-28. After walking around the car twice and taking note that it had stickers on the hood much like the GMMG cars, I decided to ask the owner about his car. Before I could open my mouth I saw his hat that read GMMG, and I knew that his cars was the meanest thing out there. After oooing over his car for a while we carried on a convo and ended up becomming friends.

This hobby is like nothing else, you some of the coolest people. And see some really impessive cars.

Whitten, I think I've traded e-mails with the owner of #46. I lost all those e-mails, etc. when my Toshiba crashed a couple months ago. Ask him if he remembers #51. Wasn't that Dick Butkus's number?? (Youngsters - don't even try to figure this one out!) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Isn't #46 David Watt's '02 ZL1? As I remember David lives in Gulf Shores, Alamaba.

I believe it is. If so, he, his wife and his parents are really nice folks. We had the opportunity to meet them at the Fred Gibb show in La Harpe, Illinois this past summer.
