Yeah if we are there def stop by.... I heard you stopped by the other day and brought the requisite 6 pack for Rich. Atta boy!
Sounds like a plan, we will see if I get outta work by then. I needed some info on something on my car and that six pack got him talking. Smokey is gonna be a bad ass ride too. Well hope to see you soon

So I was over at Watson Racing and we installed the old used oil pump and got my magnesium bellhousing cleaned up and ready for install later....

Kidding of course. What was I thinking? Young rookie that I am...

No real car news but life news that certainly affects the car. In contract on another house and we think this is the one. And it's got a nice oversized 2 car garage so I'll be able to park my hot rod under my own roof for the first time.. ever.

Rich and I already have a plan for BW in September.... I'll be there... and driving... something.

Look at you trying to project your Euro influences on me.

I need to go pay Alex a visit and see if he'll let me borrow that car.

That'd be one heck of an expensive track car!

Congrats on the house.. Life news...I hear you loud and clear...

I understand what you are talking about.. I am in a pretty nice house and thought I was ready to maybe start on the next phase of my build,Interior and more power, and maybe a new truck, but as you can see from my avatar, my Wife has found her new dream home.. I will be making an offer on it ,in the next few months when it comes on the market.

I won't be upgrading anything on my car for a while..Thank God that I got the work I got done at Steve's shop Before she found this place..Another REO, just like last time, but this one is crazy sweet..

Now I can't blow up my LT-1. She said once we get the house and fix it up, I can work on my car again..haha, with what money ? Not the investment money...That is off limits..

I will be driving something too...An old Pick up truck and a Golf cart.. And a Z/28 with ratty Interior..

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Rental Car. Rental Car! Rent a Mustang. They probably have some blue ones with white stripes, and they're not the fastest cars out there either, so that combo should make you feel right at home

That statement wants me to cancel the contract on this house and spend all my money to get the car done just to make it in Sept.

It's easy to talk smack when you know I ain't bringin the heavy artillery eh?

Whoa Mike that avatar is serious. Is that out near your neck of the woods? Your wife likes nice things I guess.
