    Some of you may know me, my name is Jay im 19 and from Milwaukee. I use alot of humor and sarcasm so get used to it . Im a active member on other forums and in the whole 3800/GP Scene. Anyways, about my cars. I drove a 96 lumina since the day i got my licence. I had no idea what to do with it, i got it for free from my older brother. I came across a 5th gen monte carlo forum and from there the modding began. I ended up converting it to a LTZ model and L67 Swapping it, drove it for a little under a year with the swap then the body started to rot out beyond repair so i tried selling it. It was for sale for over 2 months, highest offer i got on it was $1500. I basically said screw it, and traded it for a 95 240sx that needed work. I drove the 240 the entire summer of 2011 and into late september. Milwaukee roads then took there toll and I hit a pothole and snapped the front strut tower, because racekar. I sold the 240, broken and undrivable for my 97 GT. Plans? yes, lots.

    The 240, this thing took a beating.


    A few pics of my car: 97 GT, bone stock, uber clean and 169k

    lol why the hood pins? Because i paid $100 for the hood. I got it from somebody who didnt want to spend the money to get it repaired. The latch was ripped out by im guessing somebody trying to break into under the hood of whatever car it was originally on. The entire front of the hood was spider cracked, had a huge hole in it and had a 3 inch crack in it. So i got it repaired and painted. Wouldnt have been safe to put a new latch in it so i opted for pins. So there it is, my $300 SD hood.
