lolwut?

Speaking of...anyone around this weekend for Shock/Spring install on my car? 2 people working on it could knock it out in > 3hrs. It took me about that long to pull the shocks/spring off my parts car.

Eddy and Mark are you guys in for the Orlando trip on the 11th? From what I understand it is kind of just drive around for a few hours thing, have lunch, hang out, etc. I've got to be in Orlando that weekend regardless but wanted to see if ya'll were going to go...and if Eddy goes bring Tom! =)

I'm thinking of having a garage/shop party dec 17/18/19(fri sat sun) all or some combo of them. I want to get my carbonfiber 7 close to or running again. Plus we can work on ya'lls 7s too if you need things done. I'm gunna be wrenching on it till its running after the 15th-ish no matter just wanted to extend this, I know kevin was down for something like this. I'll have beer/pizza/etc there. Also pretty much all december after the 15th if you want to get together and wrench there I'll be down sans some meetings here and there. Thoughts? For those who haven't been to the shop its plenty large. Also all the parking around it is free game.

Sounds like fun. I've been plenty busy lately and have only been able to do little things here and there at night. Having some knee issues that prevents me from getting around the car in an easy fashion. FYI getting old sux.

If anything, maybe I can sit somewhere and put wires together or just drink your beer.

Its your kid dude! I'd have bad knees if I had to chase him too!

True Story: Eddie's son once ran circles around my car as we worked on it for like 2hrs non-stop.

Anything going on this weekend? Want to finally take on the suspension challenge?

Gringo,
I'll let you know on the suspension challenge. If I'm in town, I say we do it and get that mod off the to do list.

You getting new battery for the relocation project?

Mark: You know I'm down! I'll text you if anything really RANDOM comes up.

I'd bring the vert, even if only to see which of your old and used FD parts I cram into it.

While NOT very likely.... Maybe.

Talking

Welcome to Florida... Wait.

This just isn't right; it shouldn't happen like this... In FLORIDA!?!?!


The last one is the Nissan.... It didn't fare so much better.

I knew my vert was COOL, and all, but JEEZ! (in case someone missed it, that's ICE)
