  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I hate to report this but I just crushed my 2004 Regal GS it had 250k on its supercharged motor still purred like a kitten . Problem it was rotting from the underside, rocker panels rotted out, took in water , lighting wiring cracked and inoperative , digital dash shot , core support shot . A/C went south, fuel gauge inoperative. Sounds like I didn’t take care of it , but I did synthetic oil change every 4K . It just sort of just took on all these problems last couple years from lack of use and being an outside car in NJ. Just couldn’t justify keeping it and dumping money in . Didn’t want to pass it on to somebody to drive as a money pit. I bought this car new I really don’t have any complaints . Went from family sedan to beater to loaner to driveway decoration . I’ll post the a video of it on the forklift .
