I get a call one day "there's a barney in the trash from the neighbors moving". I tell him to grab it and figure we will beat this thing down, end of story. Ends up it's in near perfect shape and no matter what kinda crap we do to it...it survives. It's been stuffed in a wheel and driven down the road, tossed through a fire, dragged by cars.. even spent 24 hours or more going from Oregon to Alaska wedged in a sunroof with the head sticking out. So some of the Bonneville folks have no sense of humor and we take some of the above pics of this f'n thing. They put up a stink and well...kept getting more pics.

Later on.. a guy has a machinist port an exhaust mani and powder coat it. He says he's selling them and his company name is his lastname motorsports. Another guy ported his own charger, calls his car zilla becuase it's old mold slow and green...says Zilla motorsports. So being a big of a sarcastic douchebag, i am working on a lot of cars and start joking around that so and so visited PurpleDinoMotorsports. A buddy is a graphic artist and does up the sig you see me rockin. It really was mostly a joke..but has kinda stuck wtih me. Now a days most people say they are going to PDM for work...

lol WIN i love this thread!

THANKS

very nice.

That race never happened if you talk to him. lol heck..my nearly stock 97 SSEi with PEM and a pulley (over 150K on the trans) sat next to him. Each race depended on who got the jump.

Ask him for the vid he made dragging barney.
