And Dave, I might just have to get you one of those jackets. Actually, I might be buying a few. Karl has a Mustang back up car for Blue Balz, and Brett H has one for his Trans Am. Ordinarily I'd say you needed one to join our little club, but exceptions can be made for rare individuals, besides, I seem to remember you had a Crown Vic at some point.

Thank you for the rare individual comment. I like that.

Oh and you mean this little gem? I've put 30k miles on it in a little over 2 years. It gets it done.

It just hurts that you left me off the list.

I only left you off the list because I figured you already had one of those cool jackets, unlike the rest of us, you're, uh... very openly Ford.

I'll make sure to put you on the list.

I found out this week that Rob does own TWO Corvettes.

Sorry Rob.

Rob owns TWO Corvettes? There is no way he would go that way. I refuse to believe it. In our community that is the equivalent of the Larry Craig political scandal. Let me guess he only bought one of the 'Vettes because it has a "wide stance?"

Yeah I fear that will be the last secret Rob confides in me with.

I'm going to bring this back up to post a rant. NEVER, ever do any work with Turn Key engines, ever. Today I went to get my PRC radiator flushed. When I heard back from the service shop they told me it had a small leak. Ok, no big deal, however they noticed that the cores had expanded. Hmm, couple that info with the fact that they blew my radiator cap, and I'm starting to see what happened. So basically, while under Turnkey's care to get dyno tuned they also destroyed my radiator in addition to ruining my engine, which they built for Rupp, and "freshened up" for him after about a thousand miles when it was pulled. They were the only shop to work on that engine. Never once did they offer to refund my dyno time. I would never ask them to eat the cost of an engine, even if they supposedly checked it out, but come on, when something breaks that badly under your care, you should do something about it. When they offered to help with my new build/rebuild I asked about a set of LS7 heads. They were going to charge me 2500 for a set of used ones coming off a customers car. For that money I could have bought the new LSX ones that the customer was swapping to. Really? Don't even get me started on another BOS customer's El Camino with a Turnkey engine.

So, for everyone out there building a car, and trying to save a little money along the way, don't. Save for what you want, or just bite the bullet and spend the money, because fixing things later costs twice as much, and takes twice as long.

Never liked that place...
