Default Well Guys...

I know this doesn't belong here but this is the section I visit the most and BS with all the guys I know on this site.

This past Friday I proposed to my girlfriend of a year and a half. Of course she said yes because I am awesome! Wish me luck in this newly chartered territory.



And since I want to keep this in this section. I finally got my car back, hopefully I can get her ready in time for some track carnage. She feels nice but Im taking it easy on the new diff.

haha sounds good, keep that bish in gear if you want to have a chance! DOH!

I had already asked her dad for permission so it went well. Did it during a game of Apples to Apples with the families and caught everyone off guard even my new fiance. She couldn't talk or move which is what I expected, GREAT SUCCESS! Her parents were staying with us over the long weekend so no winky winky bum bum.

Woot! haha

Naaa the cost ratio just wasn't worth it for me to not know if it would actually hold up or not. I'd hate to spend 7k on a new setup only to have it evetually fail on me as well.

Well crap, i thought you just changed your trans output shaft, the rear cradle cost around $250-350 and then everything bolts up and get a built C6Z06 rear which I thought once again didnt cost much more or less than a built C5 rear. Sure the 08 up trans would be nice the 6060 or whatever they call it. Gearing would mess you up a little though with that trans.

P.S. You did start working on your prenup aggreement? What yours is yours and whats hers you can choose what you want. Lets see a pic of the dolly!!!! Remember the more skin the more your friends will like you And I dont mean foreskin like Kurtomac likes!

It was definitely her at Mooresville, she likes going to the track and helping out with what she can. She's a keeper for sure!
