Grabber Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 That was my dad with me. That's what I thought. He seemed to be very intrested in all the cars. I bet he is an old school car guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangMissy Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 That's what I thought. He seemed to be very intrested in all the cars. I bet he is an old school car guy. Yep! Dad had a 64 1/2 Gold Fastback Mustang he bought new for $2500 in 64, then moved on to a 70 Dodge Charger Maroon with a black vinyl top that had a 440 Magnum with a six pack. I used to sit in the back in my car seat and everytime dad would punch it I would say, There goes the gas daddy, there goes the gas. Fun times. Dad has a motorhome that we will take a last trip in this summer and then he wants to sell it. If all goes well, maybe he will have a GT500 Blue with white to drive down next year.

MY500SS Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi Rob, By all the posts and pictures, looks like the 2008 PNW Meet & Greet was a huge success. Congrats and thanks to the Grabber Family for hosting this great event. Man do I wish I could of been there this year. Marji has a 2008, 2009 and 2010 vacation calendar. I blocked off the dates for 2009, so I'll make it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloy Dave Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dave, I never get tired of going to the places that we went with you and Terry and Alan and Lisa. Even know we did alot of driving, it was fun to talk for hours and go out to lunch and dinner with you and Terry and Alan and Lisa. This is one of the best holiday weekends that I have had in along time. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Did you? Your time will come once I get my pics downloaded Mr. Orange Thong.

Grabber Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Check out this photo that MrFarmdog stitched together for me. Very nice work John. The only problem is that we were missing the last car at this time. 500Pluss was running a little late. I think that I got the full photo shoot with Five-Oh-B's camera. Five-O-B....where are your pic's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Oh B Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi, guys, I have about two minutes to post one big group pic, then I'm off to work. Been entertaining family from Holland and just took them to the airport this morning so I've been super busy. I'll get more pics up as time allows, but this is a crazy week...

You have a great camera. For some reason I thought the last car was present for your photo. We are missing 500Pluss at the 2 oclock position. Oh well. I think Jeff owes us 20 push ups for messing the group photo up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Great Pics! I just wish you had taken one with all the hoods up and one with all the hoods closed! :happy feet: And I have to admire those who scaled the roof to take the shots! It looks like a little too steep of a pitch for Ruf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I remember what happened. After Jeff cleaned his car up and started to pull around to take that spot the other Grabber Orange car owned by Whitebird11 pulled out to leave early....and 500Pluss took his spot. Jeff still owes us 20 push ups for screwing up the photo shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Oh B Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 This is one of my favorite pics. Shirley shot this one from inside our car chasing Grabber on our way from the Vista House to Multnomah Falls through the backwoods. I have video footage of this, as well, but it may be days before I have time to upload everything (things are crazy busy for me right now)....

Five Oh B Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Brian - Great shot! I never noticed a hood scoop on your car before. What type is it? :happy feet: Hi, Bryan, that's the factory '07 hood scoop that was part of the GT Appearance Package (new for '07) that included the hood scoop, engine plenem cover, and bright rolled exhaust tips. While non-functional from the factory, I've opened mine up and cut the hood to get fresh air flowing into the engine compartment to (hopefully) blow hot air down and out.

Five Oh B Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Here's my wife, Shirley, standing next to my supercharged GT. A few people pointed out how cruel I am to have the V6 grille/foglamps, V6 badging, etc. on my GT, especially with that much hp underhood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Oh B Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 How about a pic of the hood? What happens to the water when it rains? After having a 2003 Mach 1 with the factory shaker hood scoop, I wasn't too concerned about water hurting anything. I figure a little water dripping in from the scoop onto the engine can't hurt anymore than water splashing up from the road. I don't have the scoop blowing air toward any electronics or the airbox, so it shouldn't be getting anything wet that wouldn't get wet anyway from below. And I trust that the same gaskets keeping the oil inside the engine will also keep the rainwater out of the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Oh B Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 She's cute!! But she has her hand on your fender! And she's LEANING against the fender!!! Normally, she would follow the "nude-only" policy for touching my car, but Rob & Tana were having a family oriented gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Oh B Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Very sneaky five-oh! Better watch it or you will win the baitmobile award :happy feet: You can't imagine how tough it is to resist adding bling to my car. There are so many cool things I want for the exterior (i.e. hood pins, SHR side window louvers, bigger/chromed wheels, big cross-drilled & slotted brakes, loud exhaust, GT/CS F/R bumper covers, LeMans stripes, etc.). but I'm having fun driving a total sleeper and being able to drive more aggressively without attracting the wrong kind of attention.

Five Oh B Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I saw you back there. :jackinbox: Did you see the Vette that got out of our way? I kept waiting for that Vette to lean on the go pedal, but you must have intimidated him! If he knows his cars, he likely knew he didn't have a fighting chance. Base C5 makes what? 350 to 400hp, depending on year? He would have been outgunned by almost all of us in our group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
