Goodness! This place still is alive and kicking!

Whats going on all? After looking around there are still a few familiar faces on here. How are the old Indiana people, Jason....Mary?

I figured I would drop in and say hey, since my name was still registered. I actually ended up here from the Corvetteforums where it looked like Tronic was trying to scam some more people low and behold a link was posted here.

I still have my original black cougar, actually may be working on getting it completely up to par again. Totaled the Silver one last year in a unfortunate drunk driving accident. My black one is still just pieced together after a wreck and parting out the aftermarket stuff. I may be trying to take it back to where it was in 02-03, but I can't seem to even find a Razzi body kit anymore.

Also added a C5 Vette and an Audi TT to my driveway and my daily driver Focus. Thank goodness I got done with college and got a good job.

Here is a picture of the driveway now days:



Better shot of the Audi, stock except for the wheels.



And a Better shot of the Vette, car has Long tube headers, Borla exhaust, Z06 intake manifold, BBK throttle body, K&N intake and some cosmetic stuff.




Well I will stop back in more often now, especially if my plans go through and I actually get the cougar looking good again...which won't be until I get the entire car repainted.

Another Hoosier Cougar owner?!? What part of Indiana?

[noggs]

Jeez you have alot of cars!

[jaged]

he was in columbus just south of indy. dam tr0nic gets around.

good to see that youre still around. theres a lot of stuff that is getting really hard to find

[Brandon]

Yep I'm still in Columbus, but work in Seymour as a Regional logistics manager.

I was around for the very first Hoosier meet, well all the first stuff in Indiana, HCKC. But I guess I really ran out of time for the forum around my second semester Junior year of college or maybe it was my first semester of my Senior. I'm not really sure when it was.

When I start the clean up of the cougar I'm going to need a black front bumper, black passenger side fender, and I'm trying to find a Razzi kit.

But that doesn't start until the Vette has its heads and cam installed in a few months.



And yes Tronic must really get around. I bet the guys on the corvetteforums found at least 5 different websites that he was screwing people over on. He was trying to sale a polished vortec s/c for cheap, but his method for payment was sketchy so people started checking him out.

[sonza68]

Yeah, awhile back it came to our attention that his scamming wasn't limited to just here. There were at least two or three other sites that had been hit by him and I'm not suprised to find out he is continuing to try to hit fresh markets.

[MetallicaCougs]

wow Brandon, long time. Was the drunk driving your fault or were you hit by a drunk driver? Was the black one from hitting that house?

[Tygerr]

Columbus Indiana! Pick me up a fish sandwhich from Ye Olde Fish. Please?

Nice car collection man! Where in Columbus do you live? One of my customers is Cummins down there. Very nice people.

Well unfortunately the Silver one was my fault. It was last May a few days after graduation and we partied for a couple days. Well one of those days I felt the need to try and go home, needless to say I didn't make it home and the car was not even close to salvageable, engine came through the firewall. I did get a free ride after it all, but it was definitely not to a place I wanted to go.

And yeah the black one is still pieced together from the run in with the house back in 03. It still runs great, just needs some TLC on the body. Passenger side front fender has a dent in it, has one silver side marker and one orange, and the front bumper could really use to be replaced. If I got those 3 things done the car would look a lot better, but it could use a paint job. I've had it since 98 and it has a little over 100K miles on it now so it's seen more than its share of abuse. And it has the nasty 15's on it since the 16's needed tires so I just swapped them out last year.

Tygerr-Ye Olde Fish is definitely a good place to eat. I live out towards the airport in Columbus. I almost took a position with Cummins after graduation but I ended up making more money as a regional logistics manager for Wal-Mart. Some days I still wish I would have taken the Cummins job though.
