Check this out. You use this shifter and you know you’re out in your toy playing around. Give me another long lever for applying the rear brakes to drift and I’d black out the windows and take the plates off.- Snowbound

Nothing shifts faster than an automatic. You don’t see the top racers running a manual transmission. I wanna put a sequential shifter in my firebird when I upgrade the transmission guts and add a dual disk clutch. A true sequential gear box is about $10k and they’re loud, sounds like a noise...- Snowbound

02 Base for my son
Work fired the youngster back in October because he’s a drunk and now we’re down to 3 guys. That put me back on afternoons (3-11) which I absolutely hate because I don’t see my family all week and I can’t get nothing done at home so I’ve just been working 12-14 hr days and did 7 days a week for...- Snowbound

Nice. It’s a good looking fox body. I like the LX more than the GT. Fun little toy and would run even better with your LS in it. Hint hint.- Snowbound

Last but not least, my son Jack turned 19 on the 13th of this month and he is shipping off to Lackland Air Force base on July 16th to start his journey as an Airmen in the United States Air Force. He graduates on September 5th from BMT. Jess and I have already bought our airfare, hotel and...- Snowbound

Also I bought a new tool box for up north because I’m overflowing the small box I have in the sled garage. Paid $900 for a nice US General HF box that’s 56x22 and ordered it in white. Took 2 months to show up and this is how it came. Can you believe this? I finally got it flipped and...- Snowbound

I blame Jess because as soon as they released the 25 Yamaha models she tagged me in this post. She doesn’t like the gray Sidewinder, she likes the all black Viper so she wanted me to buy a new black one. Crazy money for these things but this is the first new sled I’ve ever bought and...- Snowbound

Nick and I got 318 miles in on that weekend and that was it!!!!! Trails never opened in northern Wisconsin. El Niño kicked our rears this year. And it hurts after I spent so much time and money on my sled. But Nick spent about $8k modifying his over last summer so he felt it too. My new...- Snowbound

Snow sucked this year! Never ride my Sidewinder after I put about $6k into it getting it ready for season. Early january I still had a few things to do on the sled and we heard the snow was coming but in southern Wisconsin so I dragged my Viper home that weekend we did the mud room. I installed...- Snowbound

Above posts is how we left it that weekend. I was sore and tired for sure but made good progress. The next couple trips up I had other stuff going on but I did manage to get lighting, switches and baseboard heater in. Insulated under the landing and got more insulation up in garage walls as...- Snowbound

Also finished the “mud room” off the main garage going into house to have our gear stored there instead of everyone dragging snow and gear into the kitchen. Only thing I have left to do is mud and tape drywall. Just waiting for weather to break. This happened early January while we were waiting...- Snowbound

The next day it was starting to dry out and was easier to work with without bobcat tearing it up as fast as I could smooth it out. I think it came out pretty good and I’m happy with it. Was even better the next time we went up because it had time to settle and stiffen up.- Snowbound

It rained for a few days before I got back up there so the gravel was really wet and was a mess to work with.- Snowbound
