Ventectomy - It's a TDI thing ;)


Silver T/A - 1996 Pontiac Trans Am

Here is one of my old cars, a silver 1996 Pontiac TransAm. I was the second owner and had it from April 1999 to October 2003.

It was an awesome car. Had these features: LT1 5.7L V8, leather interior, power windows/locks, 12-disc factory changer and my favorite...T-TOPS!

It was all stock except for the tinted windows (35% sides/5% rear).


IROC-Z - 1986 Chevrolet Camaro

Here is a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z that I bought my senior year of high school (1997-98) and sold it after 2 years to buy the Trans Am.

Wasn't very fast and was all stock including the 305 TPI V8 but that didn't matter because it sure did look good! The car was in such great condition that I actually got more attention in that then I ever did in the Trans Am!


Salt Sled - 1999 Hyundai Accent

Bought this car in November 2002 for use as a work and winter car. Found it on ebay with only 33,000 miles for $2,500!


GSXR 750 - Suzuki GSXR

Here is a picture of my 2000 Suzuki GSXR 750. I bought it two weeks after this new model came out...back before the GSXR 1000 and when they use to compare this bike to liter bikes like the R1, 929 and ZX9.

I did a few mods including a Yosh carbon fiber RS3 Race only slip-on, Powercomander II, replaced the front signals with carbon fiber/smoked lensed short stalks, carbon fiber heel gaurds, chopped rear fender and signals, rear signals integrated into brake light, license plate mounted down near rear shock, black 'no-drill' frame sliders and a dark smoked Zero-Gravity double bubble windscreen.

Sold it before I moved to Las Vegas in 2005.
