Yeah, you know that mission was called the "Successful Failure"----I laugh everytime I think about it---that's what I would call all my efforts towards the cars. Even if you succeed in this deal, it's still just a car in the end and you can't take it with you--but that won't stop me from failing successfully over and over on it.

See you in Feb!

At least you have a name for your project! I'm still trying to figure out one for mine. Other project names are starting to give me good ideas for mine though...

1. Payback - Hmmm.....mine should be 'Setback'.
2. Jackass - Hmmm....I'm thinking more like 'Dumbass' for mine.
3. Bad Penny - Hmmmm.....maybe just "Plain bad".

Maybe after RTTC we can have a beer-goggled brain storming session and help me come up with something. After my car started ticking at the last RTTC, your suggestion of the 'The Bomb' was hysterical, but that name scares the sh_t out of me. With all the smoke I laid down, maybe 'The Fumigator'?

Glad to hear you got your new trans in. I guess my beer and beef jerky offer wasn't enticing enough. Maybe next time a beef bowl and some San Diego Charger cheerleaders?

See you soon brother!

That's some funny stuff right there.

Don't worry, plenty of opportunities to come by and help in the future my friend. I may be headed down your way this coming Sat morning early to take possession of another deal. Once I get the car up and running, I will list my first impressions of the new setup. I heard a rumor that someone else might be looking at a potential trans swap.
