Let me just say this... I Hate winged insects Robbie will know what I am talkin about!

Anywho,.. Zee FD is TGM ! I have one Mcnasty run on the drivers side right where the door handles are But It is what it is for a single stage, garge paintjob.

ANT, Don't worry, your is going to a booth when it gets color sprayed.

Dave dont worry about it to much, you saw my passenger door last spring WOW the entire thing sagged. I got most of it right this time minus the million dog dick nats stuck in my clear. The thing that sucks is to get those out you go deep in to the clear and if your me you hit primer LOL. I am not even going to worry about my dirt, hey its still cheaper then having some one paint it and also looks better then it did. Im trying to get mine together right now so its ready before the next meet.

Yeah I'm not stressing about it much. The run is actually right where it was before( on the other side) So it makes me feel better that it is a tricky spot on that curve. 1 millisecond too long over the area and drip, drip

After it tacks up some more I am going back out to remove as many gnats as possible. A little trick my buddy showed me is to take some masking, double it over and then snag those little bastards before it sets up completely. Then it is easier too buff out in the end. ...Hopefully.

Lol HUSH.

We got 7 cars to park, and if any of them are on the street or in the yard, the HOA charges 25$ a day.

****** ****'s, I say. I am half tempted to hit up the DMV and request our property as a public parking zone. Its only like 200 some odd dollars, and its goverment(ish) property. HOA can kiss my ***.


If anyone in the fam parked in the street, and they wanted 25$ for it, I know it would just go into the person's pocket, not into the neighborhood.

Yeah, I waited in line for gas last night for about an hour and a half. Sister decided she didnt need gas before the hurricane came, and thought half a tank was enough. Well, now she is on E, and who gets to wait in line? Yeah. The fun part was as I got to maybe 8th car, the attendant came to my window and told me... they are out of gas.

Really pissed me off.
We haven't had gas in like... 4 days around here I think.

That sucks about the gas. We don't have that prob as far as I know. Lines were crazy the Friday before the hurricane..stupid people. Recently has dropped to about $3.65 for regular. Maybe I'll have to start bringing some down to fill up your 7s.

I can't believe how seriously f#$%ed up the gas situation is. Since I don't commute everyday and hardly watch the news on TV, I didn't realize the gas shortage until we went out for a bite last night and we see Huntersvilles' best out there by all the gas stations with the lights going because stoopid people were blocking traffic waiting in lines to get to the gas station.

Earlier in the day I drove over to someones house in Verdict Ridge in Denver and I didn't see any gas stations with gas. I thought Dave was making this all up! At least all my cars have 1/2 a tank so I can get by but I need gas for the lawn mower. Guess I better get the siphon out

Excellent video Sam as always. Good to hear the bridge running well. What was that last car you sparred with right before exiting 77 at the end of the video?

Sorry I missed the meet but I was at the beach all week getting toasted inside and out.

Outpulling a FC anything can be done by a P50! Anything can outpull a FC in 5th. It is a useless gear

Not slamming the BP just letting you know what a FC does(n"t) do in 5th gear.

Good to see it is running again. The OGTA guys a trying to recruit the new owner to be I think.

Stu, If he'll let us borrow them for a few days I can make some out of the Aluminum sheet I have here Then you can lock them in place with the dowels
