Re: Whatever happened to Jim LaBreck AKA JIMLAB

Unfortunately even some of us youngsters are feeling the sharp tug of responsibility

I'm only 20, and plan on having a good bit of time before I get married, but buying a house right now has superceded the importance of getting my car running again.

I never thought I would see the day

Re: Whatever happened to Jim LaBreck AKA JIMLAB

Wow a thread I can really relate to. I started modifying the car when I "thought" the kids should have started leaving the house. They didn't, one disaster after another, wife lost job,... and the car sits in pieces for years waiting for the funds to put it all back together (of course faster). Now that time has passed one does consider plunking a LS7 in there instead of modifying the LT1.

Just wanted to say thanks to people like Jim and Ryan for what we all learned from their projects, and their frequent presence on the board is missed but I understand the priorities. Good Luck,
Tim

Priorities take over, it's more improtant to sit with my 6 year old and read and do homework than it is to work on the car, more important to sit with my 2 year old on my lap than it is to race the car, you get the picture..

Thats when you say when y'all get your homework done you can come help daddy with the car. Thats what my dad did with me.
