You must not be a real ALBERTAN, cause we are not called Albertians LOL.

Im in Camrose, originally from Edmonton. Moved out here to get an hour away from my stalked baby-mama. Its nice here, Ill be buying a home here in the next few months.

I drive the sweetest Illverado in Camrose. Its an 07, tuned 5.3, 20s, dual exhaust etc... Check it.


All week at work I drive #300. I work at the western distribution center for Home Hardware located in Wetaskiwin. Shes got 8 speakers plus a pair of 12s, all Alpine electronics and RF amps, 1200 watts, and an Alpine digital sound processor. Shes got CB, VHF/UHF radios and I am a HAM radio operator. Yeah, she thumps and I hear all that goes on around me.


And in my garage at home I have this... My 93 blazer. 6" of lift, 33s on 17s, also a killer Alpine stereo... The engine hasnt run in years and Ive never driven it on the mods yet. It gets around via tow truck or flatdeck.


I also like to drive this. its a Revo 3.3 nitro truggy. Highly modified. Tons of fun in the local skateboard park. Engine makes 2.5HP out of 3.3CC of 2 stroke engine displacement burning 45% nitro/alcohol fuel. Its full time 4WD, full independant suspention and it is a TON of fun.

Bahaha! Miss spelled it . But no I'm not a real albertan, I'm originally from Ontario. Been here for 6 years now.
Sweet rides! I used to be into the rc stuff, but kept breaking the damn things haha.
I have a little 94 Toyota corolla aka rallyrolla/crapolla which I will be converting into a rally car for some racing next year. Pretty stoked about that. I have quite a few projects on the go, hoping to get the jimmy all done first

Just moved out of Edmonton to Leduc, but I'm originally from southern Alberta. This is my '96 Blazer.

Calgary checking in here. Bean driving this 98 for a little over a year now. Still working on getting everything back to perfect working and maintained status before I get into any mods.

^here she is bringing firewood for the campsite

Youll find Alberta is full of people from all the other provinces, its part of having a strong economy I guess. Im born in Saskatoon (Go Riders!)
I have a buddy with an old 80's corolla turned rally car, I guess theres a fair sized scene in Alberta for it, also ice races in the winter.
Ohsofly, I really dig the silverado. Gotta say the muffler tips dont do it for me but the rolled bumper and matched trim look so clean.

Thanks, the tips are supertraps for bikes with the baffles removed, some love em, most hate em. Sounds realy nice though. The interior and underhood are all colormatched as well, and at night its got green LED accent lighting and green HID foglamps. Its sick in the dark. The hitch and spare tire stuff are removed and she really hangs the *** end around easy with that 300 pounds removed off it. The tuning made a HUGE improvement on power and fuel milage too. Thinking about lowering it and stepping up to 22s in the summertime.
