New guy here

MadFish · August 23, 2001

Hey? My names Paul. I heard about this site from Jeff(96 Vortec) over at NastzyZ28. I just bought a 1998 Chevy 1500 4x4. I choose it over a 2002 Camaro Rs, because I would get more use out of the truck. I have never dealt with trucks before. So, hopefully you all here can help with any questions I'll have. I have owned a few second gen. Camaro's. But, right now I own a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda Im building into a Pro-touring car. Im a few years off right now. But, I will be taking it to Wyoming with me when I start attending WyoTech. That way I can work on it and not let it sit in my garage for a year.

Heres a pic of my truck

MadFish · August 23, 2001

Thanks, guys. I looked at about 10 different trucks, before I bought this one.

Bill89, Jeff said you were over here as well. I am Paul81 over there.

DigUout, WyoTech is in Laramie. Same as the University.

NewbieZ71, If you say so man. I got Wednesday nights off of work so I might check in next week and see if I can figure out what your talking about.

Better watch out! Chatting is a full contact sport around here! LOL! Might want to wear a cup or some protective clothing the first time! Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy yourself. It's almost like a fraternaty here, without the binge drinking and wild parties, or high dues.

NewbieZ71 · August 24, 2001

But we do have a nice "frat house" decal for the rear window of the truck!!!!

If you can get one.....

MadFish · August 24, 2001

A full contact chat room, thats sounds like fun.

DigUout, I went with the truck, over the camaro, because I am always hauling Barracuda parts every where. And Since Im moving to Wyoming I will need to get my 'Cuda out there. Its not drivable yet, so I will have to trialer it. I figure the truck would be better to tow with then the Camaro.

Bill89 · August 24, 2001

Yo Paul. I remembered that we had an outcast in the 2nd gen site. (j/k) I just couldn't remember the name. You will have a good time here. When it comes to the chat be careful and wear a helment. You will need it. newbie and the general slap alot. Monday night is NASCAR night and wednesday it anything goes.

Welcome aboard, I have a friend who went to Wyoming Technical school for Diesel Mechanics and He loved it. I went up there for his graduation and literally froze my a$$ off, the wind was blowing like 50mph and snowing bad. Keep warm.
