Blast from the past here! My last login shows October 6th 2014. Man time fly’s! Just a quick update, in the past 10 years, I: bought a house, got married to Natalie (nans_grandprix), changed jobs, and started a vending business. Maybe soon children. I haven’t been around much probably mainly because I now work in the automotive field and it has sure ruined the hobby. Though I still hope to own a 67 GTO convertible some day.

Came back online tonight to say hello and hope this post finds you all well! My 2000 GTP I still own!!!! Just rolled over to 300,000 miles. And though it’s rusty and a little rough around the edges, I still love the car and drive it every day! If only it wouldn’t rust, I’d drive it forever! We still have Natalie’s 02 se. rusty also and still a nice car. Though it hasn’t past 200,000 miles yet. We also still own the old k1500 plus we bought a brand new 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee for my wife (since I work at a Chrysler dealer)

My new hobbies as a mid 30’s adult.... get this.... besides working around the house, i enjoy restoring “vintage” electronics I grew up with. I’m a huge fan of 80’s computers. My latest project is an apple IIgs I’m restoring. I’m also really into arcade games. Yep! I own 4 and more as soon I can convince Natalie to let me use more space in the house. I’ve got a super Mario Nintendo vs unisystem, asteroids, space invaders, and Nintendo playchoice. Playchoice and space invaders need a little work. Next I’m searching for a Williams high speed II the getaway pinball machine. I also enjoy metal detecting as a quiet escape for myself. Found some nice stuff including silver coins and a ring. But it’s kinda my ‘clear my head’ hobby. Natalie and I also have a border collie, Charlie, who we do agility with. Maybe someday you’ll see Natalie and Charlie on TV. Prob not that good yet but you never know. I’ve also ran 4 half marathons. 13.1 miles. Yep, love makes you do some crazy things. Best time so far as been 1 hour 48 minutes.

Anyways, if anyone needs to get ahold of me. Nowadays You’ll find me mainly on KLOV forum, or Vendiscuss forum. Both as screen name tblake05.

Special shout-out to the old crew: richtazz, bnaylor, GTPdad, Igor, jeffcoslacker(?), and anyone else I may have missed. Hope your all doing fine and this message finds you well!

Best regards!
