apstguy · 03-09-2004, 07:37 PM

This thread is extremly interesting! If you want to get into what else we own, I also have a 1993 Sea-Doo SPX w/ridetech rideplate, impeller, modified waterbox (loudest jetski on the lake!), and ridetech intake grate. I'm going to try and find a pipe for this old relic but I don't know if I will be able too.

Also have a dog and a cat but the cat is a little s*it.

The Dude · 03-09-2004, 08:17 PM

other things I own are:
a custom 98 specialized fatboy (bmx bike) i used to be into that in the 8-10th grade. i build it from the frame up and have over $1300 into it. that doesnt sound like much now but back when ur 14 and haveing to buy everthing for yourself makes seem like a ton.
i also had a 1984 z28 that i stripped and started a prostreet build up but ran out of money because i put it all in my truck! well i got rid of it and all of the motor stuff. i really wish i could have kept it but it is dad's backyard.
i have an older golf cart i am going to start building over spring break. put a snowmobile engine in and lift it. also i have a 84 honda 200s 3wheeler that i am going to build into a chopper and scoot around the dunes on.

chevychic · 03-10-2004, 03:10 AM

Welcome to the board.

I'm Heather, age 29. Will be 30 on April 5th, but I refuse to look my age

. I'm married for 4 years, we have a 3yr old daughter named Ki'ana.
I'll be finishing up my 2 year computer science degree on March 19th...a week from Friday!!
I work part time at a company that assembles circuit boards as an Engineering Technician and will be going full-time when I'm done with college. I've been in the circuit board industry since 94 and thought I was out in 2001 when the electronics industry fell, but this job found me about a month ago and it feels good to be back.

I also do some part time web design for various clients and I set up customer accounts for a wellness company when I have the time.

My truck is currently immobile and when I have the time after classes are totally done, I'll be working at trying to figure out what's wrong with it. My daily driver is now an 89 VW Cabriolet (convertible rabbit). Lot's of fun with the top down and great gas mileage.
We don't have much in the way of toys unless you want to count the mountain bikes, fishing poles, camping gear and other non-motorized recreational stuff. But that will hopefully change soon....I've been wanting a quad for years

Hey nick56 you'll be glad you made the switch:-) at least you don't have to know the birth date and hat size of the guy that built your truck when you order parts for your Chevy,like you do a F**d. Seriously though 81 is a bastard year truck as many 73-80 underpinnings are on the 81 because it was the changeover year.there are certain interior parts that were unique to that year only also. not a big deal though.
