Default Adios ITR #595

As many of you know, I've been battling cancer for a year now and I decided to sell the ITR because I rarely drive it and I could use the extra money saved up in case I have to pay for expenses out of my own pocket. The money would also end up paying for my bills. Bills == stress therefore I believe I've made a good choice.

I will always remember every experience I've had growing up with H-tech. The meets were always a pleasure to go to and were filled with so many positive people. Thanks again everyone for all the fun moments, but don't worry I'll still be hanging around, just with no ITR .

Here are some times that I'll never forget.




Although the Takata Harnesses you guys gave me never made it in to my car, I will be using them for my next car after I defeat this shi$%y cancer.




Its summer time. When we gonna get some more BBQ's?? ??? heheh




Got my share of Buttonwillow. Here is a pic of me with bob#455 on my right.


Last pics of #595 at the new owner's bank.



LOOK #595 still has the stickers on.



The new owner should be signing on h-tech soon so treat him right guys. Thanks for everything. Remember this is not a good bye post. I will always be around and when I'm ready, I"ll buy another car, most likely something alot cheaper, but when my health improves you bet i'll be seeing you at the next HPDE.


Thomas

Sorry to see it go, but hopefully it'll all turn out for the better. And if you want to drive a real ITR, you can take mine for a spin... that JUN stuff is just a bunch of hype anyway.

Well thomas Im just as sad as u to see #595 go. We were always working on her and having the best of times modding her and fixing what we messed up here and there *** sift light ***. I will always remeber the two days I got to babysit her and find out how it felt to own a ITR for atleast 48hours. WEll the car may be gone but friends will always live on I will always be there for u thomas if u ever need anything. I know and most here on HT know that u will beat cancers *** with a mighty punch. IF u ever get that itch to womp on some B18C5 8400rpm power just make that short walk a block down to my house and come take the deathstar out for a spin it may not be a ITR but its the best I can do.

So when are we going ot start building the next prodject

chris

I still remember that little off-track excursion you had that broke the bead on your tire. It all worked out okay though with the on-site tire service.
