That would have been this car then.  Both have the same features.

Yes, both build at same time. Just had a little more done to Sanjay's motor.

LS3 stroker with S4. I believe. Just a good solid duner. 

The prior owner and a friend both went and had these (2) cars built at the same time. Afterwards the prior owner called back and requested more motor built so he'd have the edge over the other car. It's a great sounding and driving car. Have fun.

And yes you have the correct info on the drive train.

Wow!  That's quite an accomplishment. I have thought about riding a bike coast to coast but that's as far as I got.

Took 92 days with 63 riding. Some great times doing the touring rides. Also 02 was the same year I built my 3rd sand car.

Enjoyed, thanks, I was big into riding bicycle and still do ride, just not like I did before. 2002 I rode from Newport Oregon to Bar Harbor Maine. 

Been up almost 6 hours doing stuff and still have no idea what the days plan is.

what about being passenger with your friends?

Yes that could happen! My son and grand kids will go next season and I plan on going just not excited to go pound sand.

Delivered sand car and trailer today. That closes that chapter of life for me, dune driving. Will still go out to camp and also help others with their cars, but no more dunning for me.

Be safe everyone.

Gone.

That’s the main reason I barely posted anything on my car.  

That is kind of sad! I feel posting it is best, you can as well as the rest of us decide who's legit and who is just out there. Fun to see projects. Remember not all are talented enough to do the work, just criticize others that are.

Rain here today so limited. Taking hazardous waste to collection site today. They are getting a load, wish it was re-sell able as I have some very expensive products. Clears, catalyst, and auto top coats.

Original weight was 3040 but I did remove the 160lb factory weight

Plus, the rust has reduced weight as well!

Why are our Freeways so crowded if everyone is leaving

My parents felt this also and left, in 1956!

Always did pad 3/5 area. Last few times though it did not get quiet at night like most other times. Really like the area in the summer!

600lbs bars, includes all brackets and clips. Also includes sway control bar. $ 125.00

So, on the other end of this scale, I would say start your helmet wearing again in your early to mid 60's. Head bangs hurt! 

Yes, hard decision to make. I still will be involved and work on others car when needed. Still plan to go out and camp from time to time. Just done driving the dunes though.

I hate to say it but congrats! I don’t look forward to the day when I have to do the same.

Good control! Two weeks' notice will look better on the resume than doing something like this.

We are to get a couple days break from the rain. Time to hit all that needs done outside.

I'm 53 and have definitely dusted off the resume

Is there a perceived finish line? A time when your goal is not working any longer. Now this could certainly change if you're really enjoying what you're doing at that time.  There again if staying where you're at (unhappy), I would have a set finish date.

That being said, every time I take time off it actually gets harder to come back

Sounds kind of like you're on your way to making a decision and seeing your future.

not sure why it didn't post the reply twice now... current "leadership" is 100% the reason for the misery. THere are 5 of us in key roles that are currently looking and ready to walk, I'm just shy of 30, one is at 27 and the other 3 are all over 20

Have any vacation time? Maybe allow you to take a step back and really take a good look at where you want be.
