Just wanted to show off my car!!

[Tina]

I know I'm weird. I just wanted to show everyone. I don't know if people here like cars much as I do. But this car is very special. It is a 1984 SVO Ford Mustang. I don't even remember if I posted pictures before if I had. Sorry. Well hope you all enjoy the pictures. Actually the car is my hubby's but we say it belongs to both of us. And usually I drive it more then he does

[Tina]

Oh,That is a before picture before we painted the car this summer.

[NoahsMommy]

My hubby sure would like that! He'd look at it and magically be able to "see" the engine and horsepower!

[Tina]

Ok here is a after picture...Well maybe if it works. I hope.

[Tina]

Here is another after picture..I hope these links are working. There working for me. But if there not working for anyone else please let me know. Then I'll try to find them on my computer so I can just attach the pictures.

[Tina]

Ok Last one. Don't want to bore anyone with my car pictures *LOL*

Oh goody, car pictures! Here's a couple of my '91 Corvette ZR-1. Like Tina's it's not just your regular Corvette(Mustang). The ZR-1 option package was only offered from 1990-1995 with only 6900 some made. The ZR-1 package consisted of an LT-5 motor, which produces 375 horsepower (in the 90-92's and 405 hp in the 93's-95's). The motor itself is just beautiful. The car has a wider rear-end than the regular Corvettes to accomodate the fatter tires in the rear. So far they are still the fastest Corvette produced. The new ones might be able to beat the ZR-1's off the line in the 1/4 mile, but the ZR-1's have a top speed of 180 mph which the new ones could never reach (stock) because they aren't as aerodynamic.

I could go on and on, but I know you're more interested in the pictures. Since Imagestation is still down, I've resized them to attach. This one is a picture taken by a professional photographer behind the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY.

Very beautiful car!! I forgot to attach the last link so here it is sorry. The SVO was only made between 1984-1986. Hey Tubby & Peanut's Mom wanna race?? Just kidding I'd say your car would leave our car in the dust.

This one is me and Terry right before an open road race we did in Fort Stockton, TX. They close the 64 mile road down to regular traffic and let us run pretty much as fast as we want to. It's a great thing for speed freaks because you can run your car like you really want to, without worry of a speeding ticket. My top speed was 140 mph, and I could have gone faster but I was worried about breaking my "tech" speed, so I had to slow down a bit. Over the whole 64 miles, I averaged 119.89 mph getting me 3rd place in my class. Terry, on the other hand, had a top speed of 168 mph , and averaged something like 145 mph over the 64 miles. Now you can see why I had to do it on my own. There is no way I'd be in the car with him going 168 mph!!!! He took 3rd place in his class also. This is really a good time for anyone with a performance car, so if anyone would like further info, feel free to PM me.

And this last one is me chasing Terry at Road America in Wisconsin. We do some track events up there, where we can get our cars out on the track and run them, again, like they should be without worrying about a ticket. This one was taken by a professional photographer also, who just happened to get us like this. We had no idea he was taking pictures until we were done, and I couldn't believe he got this one. This is one of my all time favorite pictures of me and Terry.

Nice photos Tina, my husband used to have a black Trans Am. There is something about those fast black cars.

Oh Tubby, Samantha's heart is going pitter-pat just picturing your sleek blackness zooming around in your sleek black corvette!
But then I suppose a car that nice is stored for the winter and isn't allowed out in the snow.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oops, forgot to say, nice car Tina! I know the SVO's were something special too, and Terry always waits for cars like that to show up when we're in our cars so he can play with them a bit. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for him, the Mustangs and Vipers and Porsches and such usually only show up when we're in our daily drivers. Terry is much more likely to do this kind of stuff on the street, although he has backed off a lot in the last few years. He realizes it doesn't make much sense to get in trouble, and possibly have somebody get hurt, so he takes it to the track now. Oh, and he used to race proffessionally, so he really knows what he's doing in fast cars - unlike me which is why I'll pass on all the street racing stuff.

Pretty cool!! Wish we had tracks like that around!! But we don't Hopefully next year we can go to the SVO reunion next year and run the car some. We only have a 1/8 mile track. Rob done pretty good. He ran like in 9.3 he was only going 70 mph or 75 mph I can't rember. He's had it up to 120 mph before on the interstate with a friend. But they slowed down cause they were afraid of getting a ticket. I've had it up to about 90 mph before. But that is fast as I've had it.

My sweet Samantha, since you asked, here are two pictures of your dearest in his Corvette. In the first one he is inspecting his engine to make sure it's clean enough.
