LAST EDITED ON Feb-19-05 AT 07:30 AM (EST)

What do you use to hunt for trains with? (If I can find a better picture of mine i`ll post it because I have off-road lights where the bars are and running lights down the side of it.) Lets see yours!

sorry no pic as of now, but I use to use a 1992 yamaha timberwolf (YMB 250, 229cc) when I was living at home in washington state. it is a little beat up, and the brakes are not the best, but it dose the job.

Bought a 1994 9C1 Chevy Caprice, the other day, in it former life it was a unmarked North Carolina State Police Car, no markings, no spotlights, it is light blue in color, 130,000 miles in good condition over all, the carpets are completely shot though, and of course, she has the LT1, but NO limited slip, and she is VERY traction limited, on an rough road under heavy acceleration she was peeling rubber, at about 60 MPH!!! Shocked the “SNOT” out of me!!Yesterday marked her first trip to chase trains!!, even though we only saw one, and YES I think these will qualify for an ATV, cause ya’ll anit seen me on “the chase” so to speak (their was an incident long ago, when I drove thru about 4 backyards, and by a patio party in pursuit of an quartet of GP-9’s, and yes the road was blocked by said party, causing the Hail Mary maneuver, it was real smooth too, even when I nearly ran down the goat!) The 9C1 cars get lots of useful things that normal caprices did not get;BIG radiator, with duel electric fans,gear driven water pump, that reverse flows the engine,LT1 engine onlyExternal tranny coolerExternal oil coolerExternal power steering cooler4 wheel disk brakes with ABS, normal caprices had rear drum brakesDucting under the chassis to direct air to the brakesReinforced frame, it’s U channel frame is boxed in, just the thing for those rough back roadsArmored seats8 .5 inch rear differential. 45/55 brake biasSpecially calibrated speedometer,with certified calibration, and it is marked as suchSpecial “police pursuit suspension” with factory Blistine shocks extremely stiff springs, which raise the body about an inch, just the thing to jump curbs and drive across the medians withHUGE roll bars front and rearLT1 equipped cars got TRUE duel exhaust Pursuit calibrated transmission, with warning decal, “Use overdrive for high speed operation”No speed limiter, (105 on normal caprices, the LT1’s that where slick tops, i.e. no light bars, had a 155 MPH top end) With another warning decal “Close all windows above 140 MPH”Black out switch, you press a button on the dash; it blacks out all the lights, I MEAN ALL THE LIGHTS. Even the radio140 amp alternatorLOL, happy times are here again! A car that you can load up with a bunch of friends, stow ALL their gear in the trunk and still have enough cohonas to shut down all the little rice-burning cars on the road!No Vinyl and spoilers DOESN’T make you go faster, high performance V8’s do.I can’t wait to blow one of those frapping fart cannon cars OFF THE ROADAndy "RKT-MAN" J Andy J http://www.blueridgerails.com/
