Right on! I understand, The VA can be a pain. My uncles been fighting them for years. He's one of those guys that got cancer from agent orange in Nam. He was telling me he finally found some orginazation that goes to bat for vets like him and yourself. They deal with all the red tape and stuff to get things done for vets because dealing with gov bureaucracy sucks. I can't remember their name but I'll try to find out for you unless you allready know?

i wonder if your uncle is going through the DAV...they help with all the rad tape stuff, i was fighting for my disability comp for about 1-1/2 then the DAV got involved and i got my comp rewarded in like 3 month haha, if he hasnt tried them yet let him know there probably the best out there!

Welcome home, brother, and thanks for serving. Don't give up against the VA. I've been fighting with
them for about 6 years, but I ain't givin up. If memory serves (and let's face it, with all the pills they got me on, my memory ain't worth a damn anymore), I'm working with the DAV as well. They've taken care of me pretty good so far.


Should you ever need to talk about something, i'll be more than happy to extend an ear (eyes, actually since I can't hear nothin either) I'm here for ya. Don't keep that ..... bottled up. Let it out or it'll drive you absolutely insane.

Well in my 26 years i have been through a few different types of cars all were american never could get into the import types but they have a few i would not mind for a daily driver.So here is look down my auto motive memory lane.

#2. After that i was on the look for another vehicle and Got a 1997 s-10 v6,Went straight to the body shop to get, SS hood, Cervinis air dam and grill, Hid lights,Lowered,bed cover,Full exhaust,Custom Flames by me,Competition stero system.

#3.Sold silver truck to buy a 1999 30th anniversary trans am my first Sports car and fastest car i had had to this point.Completely stock,White leather,Blue anoidized wheels ,only 1600 was made like this.Sold this car due to mechanical issues

1/4mile time 12.00@118.5

Great time. Looking forward to getting mine on the track at some point.

 

[ls1chris]

i was pleased with it for being a daily driver and spinning.I figure with better traction should been right around a 11.8x

 

[Sublimation]

That's pretty damn fast for a car as big as a Trans Am. Nice times. You get that thing any more traction, you're going to start creeping into stock supersport motorcycle territory...

Nicely done... lol Do you have the required riding skill to get the full 310% speed? lol

 

[ls1chris]

i was pleased with it considering i drove it yearly through snow sleet etc etc and still had leather and ac.But they was plenty of trans am and camaros around me that was way faster and still daily drivers.Around here Fbodys are very popular and it is not uncommon to have them in the mid to low 11s and fully street able i have plenty of vids of me racing on youtube and some pretty fast local cars if any of you are interested in that stuff
