Hey, guys. I've been on that other Corvette Forum for years, but I never joined this one, until today. I'm a C4 owner, a modded 92 A4 which I use as a daily driver and a weekend warrior. Here's the car in action at New England Dragway:

I live in Marlborough, Mass. Right now we have pretty fall colors. Here's the view from the back yard:

Other hobbies include flying and photography:

I work in the biotech biz. My job is in Montreal, Canada, so I do a lot of commuting, which sux. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

From now on, I'm going to restrict membership to those who have slower cars than me.

How many others out there have 11 second daily drivers?

11's? That's what it used to run in the eighth, back when it was stock.

Ok, ok - I'm exaggerating. It ran mid-to-high 9's, and occasional 10's in the eighth. Last weekend it ran a 7.3 eighth. Then I drove it home, put back on the regular tires, and returned it to daily driver service.

Yes, I know Phenomenex. I've used your columns in the past. I'm VP of Manufacturing and Quality for a small Montreal-based biotech company, ConjuChem Biotechnologies. Or, as I prefer to put it, I make drugs.
