Wanna see me naked?...or maybe just my tanks.


Lil, Ron White Biker chick allusion there.

Hey guys after meeting all of ya'll last night I wanted to tell you how much fun I had, and also share a little bit more about myself. I am a memeber over at www.nanoreef.com, and wanted to link the pics of my tank over, but sadly they won't allow it so I will just link you over to my thread. I really hope you will take the time to look at it and tell me what you really think of my tank...and me if you really feel like it. Thanks for the good times last night, and enjoy.
http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/show...0&pagenumber=1

That is my thread on there, but now I would like to share with ya'll my other hobby...cars. I have for you a few pics of my obbsesion as well as my summer job.

The title scared me off. Then when I didn't get a "reported post" e-mail I figured it was ok to peek. Nice cars. Are they all yours?

Well being a reef forum I clicked the link to check out the Nano. Looks like you have a really great start. Can't wait to see it packed full.

Well unfortunately they aren't mine entirely. They are the collection of a very close family friend of mine who has been good enough to me to keep me employed over the summer. It is a small operation and we currently only have good friends working on the cars when and if anything needs to be done. My favorite in the collection would have to be the ZL-1 but it is trail behind by none other than a one of a kind 68 Camaro. We have alot of nice cars in there, and have sold alot of nice ones as well.
As of right now we have;
1969 COPO Camaro number 1 concourse condition...hell they all are for that matter.
1969 Hemi Roadrunner
1969 GTO Ram Air 4
1968 Camaro Z-28 RS with the one and only prototype crossram intake, and only one of 13 Z-28 RS's ever made for 68
1967 L-88 Corvette 427 450 horse
1966 Shelby GT-350....this is the car that you see in every Shelby book. It is "the" best GT-350 in the world and has been the champion for 12 years.
1969 GT-500 1 of 4 Drag Pack cars like it
1969 Sox& Martin Hemi Drag Car
2002 ZL-1 Super Camaro with Phase 3 600 hp engine package

So there they are.

I am currently working on getting my truck sold so that I can do a little car project of my own in the way of a 98 or 99 Camaro Z-28 or SS. I have a 2002 Z06 Motor, and all of the accessories that came with it fresh out of a Z06 with only 1500 miles on it. After completing the swap I should have around 365 to the rear wheels, and upon adding all of the bolt on accessories be in the neighborhood of around 450 to the rear wheels.


As for the tanks, I am sorry that it is such a round about way to show pics, but I didn't want to have to load all my huge images again over here and take up server space.

I have been taking my time on this tank and trying not to rush anything as far as in habitants. I learned my lessons on a very unforgiving system...2.5, and am now the better for it. I hope to upgrade the lighting next before I do any more adding of corals. Also I will add two 60 mm pc fans to the hood so that the inreaseed heat wont disipate into the water collomn and cause huge temp changes. After those things I plan on doing a custom setup with a SCWD so that I can get a constantly alternating flow. Last but not least will be the addition of a sump, and if Aqua C ever comes out with the thing a Nano sized remora skimmer. I was orriginally going to strive for MH lighting in the canopy, but I just don't want to mess with the headaches of keeping clams, or many species of SPS, so I feel that it would be over kill.

Time for a little physics!
SO if you took a magic ring with 4 magical chains and you hooked four cars up in this order:
Hemi RR going North
Grabber Blue Boss 429(You Suck for being able to drive one!)going West
427 Vette going East
427 Camaro going South
Who would pull the farthest?
What would be the overall direction the cars would travel in?
(Basically who makes the most torque and which two would pull the others?)

Its late and I am bored!
This thread is much better than my reef tank, yes I SAID IT!
Once again... YOU SUCK!!!!!!
Well That about wraps up my jealousy, just when I thought I was out of counseling and on the road to reCARvery.

Thanks for the eye candy,
David West

Ok so if there was a tug of war, or in my case a race...I am going to have to put my money on the 02 ZL-1. It makes roughly 550 rwtq and 4800 RPM. That isn't to say that the others are wimpy, becuase I think it would be a close race between all of them. Since all of them have over 350 cubes, and for the most part most all have over 426. Now the New Hemi Drag car...that is a different story. It is a 1000 hp 950 tq car from the factory since it is a factory double A drag car. I have not seen this car yet as we will be getting it in on Friday so stay tuned for the pics of that. As for the ZL-1 I have driven it, and let me tell you that it pulls like a spotted butt ape, in 3rd gear. I was too scared to put it in 2nd, and while on Roswell Road I managed to devour a few ricers that thought they had a chance....Your 210 hp turbo Integra with a Fart cannon is no match for raw power in the form of my Catfish shaped Camaro.
