Default Stangkiller18 Celebration dinner

We just had to celebrate the new paint job on the rear fascia and the completion of the drivetrain reinstall...that Chris actually did by himself
Stu, Stu's wife Jami (oo baby-oo baby), Ryan (the paint man), Chris ( with that Cheshire cat grin)
Congratulations on a job well done!

Hey Stu, that was a lot of fun, we should start some kind of weekly event around here. Matt, actually lower rear gears will lower your measured RWHP Howevever take it to the track and it'll run a lot better, the SOTP feel say it's WAAY quicker! And i'm still breaking it in.

Almost as much fun as driving our cars is congregating with others and talking about them!

No. She didn't call. She didn't write. Not even a postcard or a "Howdy".

Depression set in and I let myself fall into a drunken stupor for days, chasing women of ill-repute to no end. I even watched Dan Rather for three straight days.

Then, as if miraculously, I saw a light. It had an strange, greenish glow about it and I realized it meant I would be facing a significant change in my life in the near future.

Amazing what a "Change Oil Soon" code will do for you!!!!
