It was his motivation to return alive from missions, something to keep him going when things got rough.

"Iraq is for the Chevy. Every time I went on a mission it was for the Chevy," said Nathaniel Washington, Army staff sergeant, cook and proud owner of a 1996 Chevrolet Impala.

“When the Olympics were in Atlanta, I was 17, we passed a line of Impalas on our way down and that is when I fell in love.”

He found the Chevy in a used dealership. It had been repainted black, the paint job was terrible.

"My first winter [stationed] in Alaska, it was negative 10–15 degrees and the paint started cracking, and I figured if I got new paint then I should shave the doors." The rest is history.

Waiting in line at his army base call center in Iraq, Washington paced for an hour and a half before he was able to place his first big order, headers and cats.

"When I got home from Iraq I hugged the family, went downstairs, picked up the headers and had my son take a picture," recalls Washington.

"If you are going to do it, spend the money to do it right the first time," said Washington, quoting his wife, Shineka Washington. "So now I have to buy her a house," Washington laughed.

When it was all done, "I had the family buckle up, started the car and hit the buttons."

The kids giggled as they bounced around in the back, and even the Mrs. loved it. Finally, the mission for this Chevy was complete.

So what is the trick to a successful operation? Washington says, "Make sure you get consent with the wife before spending all the money. Communication is key!"

NEW DYNO NEXT DOOR - One stop shop! June 2008

Much to our delight, Carbs Unlimited, an automotive repair shop and our neighbor, recently installed a 224x Dynajet Dynamometer. A single roller chassis dyno, the 224x is installed on a drive-on four post lift in Carbs’ second bay. It features an analog module and wide band 02. Pricing is yet to be determined.

We are really excited about the dyno. It will give us a chance to thoroughly test our products (when Dan finally gets his car running lol) and for those of you who want to increase performance or just see where you are at, you can come visit us and then bop next door all in one stop. Call Carbs Unlimited at 425.251.0210 for details. The dyno should be dialed in mid July.
