Hi. My name is John and I'm a cigar smoker.

I've been smoking for 15 or so years, more so in the last couple. It helps to escape the pressures of life and I enjoy the fellowship. I just can't seem to stop. Don't know that I care to either - even with the excessive amount if time I spend online reading about cigars and looking for deals, not to mention the funding required to keep my fix going.

Let's get this out of the way:

Pancakes and waffles, but never at the same time.

I don't seek out gladiator movies, not that there's anything wrong with them.

I live in central Florida. I'm surrounded by beaches but avoid long walks on them these days.

Yes, I've seen the...Thongina...I can't even say it...

Hopefully, this great group of BOTL's can sympathize with my cigar needs and provide guidance.

Thanks for listening.

John

Palama...Chevy. Had a 75 Camero in high school. Miss it..

Wheel...just because she's camera shy doesn't mean photos don't exist. I'd just like to keep my equipment intact. I'll have to post something acceptable when I'm on my computer - using phone now.

No problem. One of my best friends had a Road Runner in high school. Nice ride. Would ride with him and his brother to school; was temporarily deaf when we got there from the stereo.

I had Hookers, an Edelbrock and a vacuum pump Holley 600. Lakewood traction bars.

I seriously can't remember what I did with the valve job or lifters but I did put in chrome moly pushrods. I stopped after that 'cause it was just getting crazy to reduce my speed by a tenth or two.

A vac pump carb was good with a didvided plenum intake but not really high comp stuff, just a nice part swap ..

I had a trubo 400 tranny built for it that was unreal...
