In January 2012, I took my Chevy Z24 to Tucson to race against the imports, and beat every one that lined up next to me (heck I remember someone actually trying to avoid racing me by trying to squeeze in front of the racer ahead of him to avoid my Chevy...he had to race me anyway, and lost because his import wasn't equal to my American fwd car. Last October I went back to SIR in Tucson and helped turn an import dominated field into an all American final round between my Z24, and a Chevy HHR. I digress that I lost to the guy (that's what sleeping too much on the line or taking your opponent for granted will do to you), but it gave me great joy that I accomplished what I went there for....to beat up on imports with my Janesville, Ws., UAW built Chevrolet Cavalier Z24!!!!

Gary, Glad to see you back on the boards. I have had American all my life but I can't break the habit of buying BMWs for the family car. I am on about 5 or 6 throughout the years. Bought a new crew cab Silverado and couldn't be more happy with it, does everything I need it to do. Looking to go diesel on an X3 BMW next year.
