Guns are kinda cool. I have an old Browning 9mm pistol from WWII, but haven't shot it in years.

What would you say that 1979 T-Top Firebird weights with the big engine in it?

At least 3500lbs w/o driver.

PASS TIME comes to Tiresmoke! Name the time, win the hotdog!

I'll take that hotdog wager. Closest guess wins? (either over or under)

Headers open? What tires will be run?
