Still haven't had ANY sucess in finding a wind turbine tech job......... And the rust-belt life the 'Bu led has cost it its life. After a long battle this spring, a bunch of issues along with the baddly rusted frame rails, it was time to move on. A 2000 GMC Sonoma ZQ8 is the new toy, of course using the engine, trans, and other parts from the 'Bu. I made it to a charity autocross and drag day @ US131 for its first time out. The drag racing was fun as it was the first time I've ever been down a strip. My best time was a 14.44, with a terrible 60' time because it was so hard to launch the truck without spinning the tire and /or encountering wheelhop.
Anyways video follows....

Here's a shot of Akuma (its name.....) from the autocross
I'm hoping to hit a drift event yet this year and am looking forward to that. I need to do something with the rear suspension, but am unsure at this time what I want to do. Anyways, I guess it's time for some catgirl action......
