Wife and I had a good time last night at Kellers ! Julie asked why Milt's car was so quiet as he drove by us on the highway when we left... I guess she is used to all of our car's being loud....

So I was showing her last night how my HID's look at night. She said "yea yea....".... Then she drove the babysitter home in her Murano (no HID's). First thing she said when she got into the house was "My lights SUCK !" I even put the crappy Silverstars in her truck too.

Too funny
Chip was still there after y'all left. I spoke to him for awhile then headed home. Glad she had a good time. It always helps to put a good steak in their belly before coming to Kellers

Guess we will be in the DD's tonight. You going?

See there is a bright side in lookalikes I think it is cool that sheet metal can get such a near look,,now if he can make it sound the same,,maybe with a kazoo on the muffler he will have a real winner
He can bring to C&C and park with the other Lambo boys I think he will fit right in

Definitely a good time.
Can't believe I didn't know about that place until recently.

Daaaaang, burned by the wifey!
I'm gonna get those headers on this weekend! That should get me closer to you and Lee.

Looks like you have a HID project on your hands now. Check out www.theretrofitsource.com. They have some real quality stuff. If you are willing to separate the headlamps a projector retrofit kit is definitely the way to go.

So today at work I notice a $100,000 part on our parts shelf missing.

I ask around... No one moved it. I search and find it in a remote storage room hidden in the basement at TI in the back behind some other parts.

I'm going to go thru some security tapes tomorrow and hopefully get someone fired !

I just can't figure out how someone could sleep at night doing that. I just don't have kind of dishonestly in me..

Its something very specific that goes on our systems we sell TI. We had one on site for an emergency because they take 6 months to make. So much for the trust factor. Im having all our parts pulled from TI site tomorrow. Then off to review security tapes.

Wowzers. 100K??? Somebody has some serious cajones. Hard to find trustworthy people in this day and age.

We used to print "Lonestar Bucks" for Lonestar Park. Guy up in the bindery that worked nights was hoarding the overs and selling them to his buddies for .50 on the dollar up at traders village. Lonestar Park noticed something was off within a couple months. We lost the account and that guy lost his job. I would have paid the sorry SOB out of my own pocket if it could have prevented us from loosing that account. One of the biggest accounts we ever had and we have yet to repair that relationship. That was roughly 6yrs ago. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.
