Having been working in the T-Mobile / IT dept. almost 2 weeks now, I haven't seen a business parking lot yet (and I've worked a few places around the country) with this many hot-rods in ONE parking lot.

We've got a brand-new Red slammed Z-06 with cold-air and an X-Pipe setup. The kid says he picked up ~25 HP just from that in speaking with him - no chip, too he says. Turns out it's his 2nd Z-06 as of last month or so. The first was stolen in broad daylight from the parking lot at work.:hammer: :flaming: Inside job at the dealership, turns out.

Another is a black Old-School Nova SS 'vert (caged) running a bored-out 383 c.i. stroker block, beefed-up Turbo 400 tranny, HUGE slicks on the back and an exhaust that almost rattles the windows as he passes by. knana He says he runs low-8s in the 1/8th mile at some place called "Yellow" something off of I-35. Anyone know?

The other is a white Saleen 281 Coupe (not sure what year), but she's SEXY!:)

Another is a maroon Supra almost identical to the one in Fast/Furious - fart-can included.:rolleyes:

Oh, and there are the 2 token new Ford Diesel 4x4 Super-Duties with lifts so high the bottom of the door is almost to my waist. :eek2:

Also, there's this black Denali truck with the rear-axle wheels that actually TURN in conjunction with the front. It's sort of odd to watch this guy pull into a parking spot and see a truck moving diagonally into a parking spot.

Oh yeah, and there's Suzie and I in the parking lot.:cool: There are also the usual mix of mid-range Beemers/Benz/Vette/Mustang GTs, too.

Anyone else with "varied" work parking lots like this?

That would be the infamous Yellow Belly Dragstrip in Grand Prarie. Many rumors of gang activity and other nefarious activities. I've never been brave enough to visit. Also believe its at the bottom of the list when it comes to maintenance of the track itself.

I did a web search for it and this was the first to come up...

It is one of those tracks where anything goes. Duct tape your wheels on if you have too.

TFiddy,

Funny you should post that! :D Turns out there's a black old-school Herman Munster looking hearse on the other end of the parking I've seen a couple of times.

Evidently, someone has a sense of humor...or something.:cool:
