Some of you may know that since I got axed from FTL, I have been looking for jobs out of state. That said...

I GOT AN OFFER FROM A GAME COMPANY IN AUSTIN, TX WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited. Austin is awesome and should be warm year round, plus I've REALLY wanted to get into game coding, so this should be a perfect fit for me. I'm moving down there next week and start on the 28th.

I'll miss you guys, in a purely non-homosexual way. Except for Sam. Such a sexy beast.

I have a caliper rebuild kit for our S5 rears If you like you can bring them to me and i will rebuild them for nothing. Just by the parts.. I think it was around 22 bucks. Let me know


As for the driving, I am all for track days with other groups, Autocross is far easier to come by than track days i think. I am not much of a AutoX guy but i would throw down if we had the area I like the Miata club event as well. I would be intrested in that.

I got the coolant to stay where it belongs and not all over the ground today. I also installed my new power antenna. The coolant line was a MF. It pobably wouldn't be too bad for you guys but I was real hessitant about taking the intake manifold off and unhooking all the vac line and other things I had to take off. Getting the old gasket off was a task too. But now it's done and runs like a champ. Ready to hit the sand roads down here for some make shift rally fun!

Thanks guys. I wanted to "live'n" things up a little. I do these vids for you guys. I have told anyone who who has a video camera, if they want to take some video of thier own, I can edit it in with mine. That way we could have different piont of views in the vid. Think about it. I can't always be the only one........

I quit my job today. Something about sitting in a freakin CUBICLE and answering phones to pissy customers... man that is NOT my thing. I am a happy character and don't want angry people bringing me down.

So I quit.


Well, long story short, I now work another company. Pay is better and customers are more tolerable. If all goes well, I will be manager of my own suite in about a year.


Other than that, I love the vid Sam! And yeah, lets start getting some autoXing down. I can get some miata guys out there if you guys care. One guy has a V8 Supercharged.... FUNNN
