I have been an import guy the entire 20 years I've been driving. I've spent thousands of dollars souping up a series of RX-7s, the only cars I've owned for years. It's been fun, rewarding, and very educational. However, after buying my first ever V8 last week ('93 Corvette with a 383 stroker), I'm not sure I can ever go back. I guess I've unexpectedly joined the ranks of disillusioned import owners... with a bunch of metric tools I don't have much use for anymore.

That doesn't mean I'm trading in my Honda CBR600 for a Harley, though.

Hello, all. I'm sure you'll hear from me again... hell, it's been years since I worked on an engine with pistons and valves, let alone a V8.
