It's time for another one of these "Hi, I'm a newb!" threads.
My names Kevin - I'm from Michigan and friends with that bastard, White Out.
I work in many fields - I've done everything from turn wrench as a mechanic for a living to a suit and tie job as a corporate sales rep dealing with Forbes 500 corporations..
For a car I am driving something a bit different than the rest of you all on here -- a 1999 SVT Lightning F-150. Nothing like 14 pounds of boost being crammed through a SOHC 5.4 tearing the tread off of my 295s!
I'm hoping to attend the rally this year - we'll see how it works with my other events I have this year. I'm trying to do a few things - the power tour, the 24 hours of LeMons, and this! It'll be a fun year!

I remember the first time I ran into one of these with my then just lightly modified Z... embarrassed the hell out of me.. I was just gob-smacked... I was determined to do some serious work on the car at that point... I mean really, what Sport Compact car guy could hold his head up to getting run over by a truck... THEN of course I discovered it was a lightning, I felt somewhat OK with that beat-down then.. but still had to get some serious work done to be happy with myself.
I would LOVE to see that on the rally man... hope you can make it and good luck with your other events.

Uhm - it's got a pulley, tune, modified air box, and I port and polished the blower... Running 14lbs of boost thru the stock exhaust making 400rwhp/440rwtq... She's a complete sleeper full weight truck in the 12s..
She rides great, has a big ass gas tank, and a tonneau cover for all you jokers who think you can toss trash in the back! =D
Oh, and the ladies dig it - the beds carpeted
