Car Junkies in the neighborhood

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

There is also a guy down my street who built a fiberglass split window corvette about 2 years ago. But he sold it and now has a Prowler. Seems like a huge downgrade to me.

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

Well, I guess I am getting luckier since the Chevelle came around....My next door neighbor works for Ford and has a K5 Blazer with a 13.5/1 cr 406 sbc and a third gen camaro that is rotting in the garage...2 doors down is an A-body Aficionado who is currently restoring a 70' Buick GSX 455 Stage 1....and about a mile away is the Store manager of the Autozone who has graciously volunteered his fully stocked shop and expertise...He also has quite a few rides.

No island here.

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

I see some cool cars around town every now and then, but as far as neighbors are concerned I'm on the island. I'm moving, so I'll have to see if the new neighbors are into the life. Anyway, time to put myself on the members map - maybe someone on the board lives not to far from me!

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

I don't know. I tend to live on the island I guess. There are lots of people into hot rods and stuff in Bakersfield though. Most seem to be afraid to drive their stuff though. Mostly people just drive around in their lifted Chevies and bling bling SUVs.

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

Within a mile of my house there are a ton of fast and interesting cars. There's a guy who owns a 5.0 Mustang with a Paxton that goes high 11's, another 5.0 on spray in the 10's, a fella with a really nice Camaro and a 442, another with a Camaro with 540/Tremec setup, a HAMB'er type with a 32 fiberglass roadster and a 30 all-steel coupe he's currently doing, another guy with an 80's Camaro that is abused with much relish (to everyone's enjoyment), a guy with a really smooth 53 Chevy pickup, a 67 Cougar, a 68 Mustang, and a few that I don't know who owns them. I love my neighborhood.

Not on an island here...

wtf, and you drive by yesterday and don't even stop! and you didn't have the courtesy to at least do a big smokie !!!
don't I live close?

Those are the cars within a mile. You live like, 7 miles away.

I saw your lights on in your house when I went past; I didn't stop cuz I always feel like I'm bothering you somehow when I stop in.

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

Could be mistaken but I believe I'm on an island. > Too bad too because I am sure someone close by needs the extra hands and I have a strong desire to obtain some real world knowledge. :P

If I am wrong and you live within 30 miles of Wayne NJ, give me a holler ;D

I see you have a new generation GTO are you a member of G.O.N.E.? They are the GTO owners of the North East
they do alot of stuff at e-town and have a number of members in NJ. I can find out more info if you want.

Re: Car Junkies in the neighborhood

There are three of us in my 6 unit apartment building. Me with my two cars, Bill with his 73 Monte Carlo and Carl with his 67 Chevelle and he also has show condition 67 Elco that is locked up tight at another locale.

I ran into Rebeldryver at the tire shop last month in Culver City. I thought the title of this thread meant other CarJunkieTV members on this board in your neighborhood. Not just people into cars.

There seem to be a few were I live in Simi Valley. I see all kinds of cars driving by my house. Camaros, Mustangs, Firebird, Mopars. Kids with late model stuff too. The owner of Milodon drives by taking his kids to school. Says I need to work on my cars. Troy from Westoaks Mopar Performance lives close. At least a couple of magazine editors live around town here too; Mr Tann, Mr Breeding, and Mr Pitt.

And the constant stream of loud obnoxious store bought Harley's in front of my house lasts all weekend. : After a while it's like: I get it, it sounds like a Harley. >

Wish there was a Car Cruise-In here in Simi Valley. I've only lived here a few years, but it sounds like they have had them in the past. Maybe too many high school dorks???

Antmnte - thanks reaching out. I should try to be more open minded. The few times I have met GONE members their interest seemed to be largely limited to the 04-06 Goat where as I consider myself more open to the other makes. Also no interest was expressed from GONE when I posted going to the 07 & 08 Power Tours on LS1GTO.com. But you are correct I should reach out again.
