Default Was This A Mistake?

[alex1217]Wow!!! Thanks so much for the offer!!! I'll take you up on that!! Breakfast is on me, its the least I can do!! As for the life story, I may need to pad it since I don't think I can tell you that much on the ride there. Did I ever tell you about the time I was stuck in a skyscraper with a bunch of international terrorists who tried to steal 500 million in bonds from a high security safe???

I can fully relate! back in '97 I was going for Lingenfelters 383 combo. I'd ridden in a friends car that had one and HAD to have my own. The night before I sent the car to Indiana, I barely slept let alone the night it returned!

You're going to LOVE the new power. Invest in a tire company!

I know I'm not going to sleep when she's at ECS. I'll feel like an expecting dad waiting outside the delivery room.


BTW, thanks again for volunteering 6spd98! I won't chew your ear off too much on the ride home.

PS-take your drivers manual out of the glove before you drop it off at ECS;they may swap it with an older copy.

Very true. It will have a ton more power so you now have to manage the accelerator foot better otherwise that back end of the car might be in front of you. Just look at me Sunday morning. I barely hit the gas and the back end flew out. Lots of power - stock tires -

So I guess next on your list will be some good tires - you see it never ends...

yeah also don't be surprise if you see pictures of your car at any big events or just cruising around picking up women. Chris and Doug love to use their customer's cars to party!!!!
