Awesome car though.  Build # 885. 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 DRM 450 - (what does all that mean?)  The car is FAST. 450 hp at the rear wheel. We named this car Christine. Yes. After the movie.

Yes, I have a gun or two that I know how to use, however, my ability to physically RUN is no longer possible due to Ehlers Danlos (hyper mobility) my connective tissue is all stretched out in my knees. My knees can and do partially dislocate from time to time, high impact type things are a guaranteed way to make my knees fail.  So, that is ...
