Man, that does suck dude. I am sorry.

But, did it fix your fuel leak or make it worse? LOL

Sorry to hear that Crit, that keeps almost happening to me lately, probably because of the bumper stickers.

I have a spare left tail light assembly if you need it.

That stinks. If you ended up doing the unibody swap and wanted someone to help hold a wrench or anything I'd enjoy the learning experience...

And I just bought a new stock replacement clutch disc since I let my uncle drive my car and now the clutch barely grips.... I put in a whole clutch kit when I was like 15 (well someone else did it since I didn't know much) and I got used to driving a manual car with it, so go figure. So I just have to buy some decent gear oil and then I'll have everything I need to swap the transmission and new LSD in. Yay for some progress...

Crit, is that why you called me last night? I'm so sorry I missed it, I was already asleep on 150mg of diephenhydramine...

Obviously you're okay though right? Post pics of the car.

Shittt we did over $80,000 on Friday alone, and another $25 today. Tomorow will probably be at least $15, so that's $120 K in one weekend. I worked 11am to 12:30 midnight then and my register kept popping up that I had too much cash... haha. Why did you encourage this retail job, Collin

Hope to get this soon:

And I unfortunatey have to work this Tuesday, so I can't make the meet unless someone else wants to work my closing shift. We'll see.

And I open in the morning... ughhh. Night guys.

Sounds like you guys are earning your bosses a small fortune. Welcome to the fold of the exploited American worker!

Check this out from the LA car show, only $75,000:

The new Lotus Evora:



The new Mazda 3 ($15,000-$21,000):



A Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 (forget it guys, you can't afford it):



From Hyundai, a new "Blue" hybrid technology. Back to the future, no AC or power windows to increase mpg's!:




A hydrogen powered Honda:



And of course my favorite, an electric Mazda that does 250 mph:

Brett, we're not talking about the same form of retail.

Ray, stop, you're teasing us!

Now, back to Top Gear and my seafood spread. :-D

So I tried to get off of work this Tuesday, and I even found another employee to trade shifts with me... But our district manager is coming Tuesday and they want me to work, not any other <20 employee So that kind of makes me feel a little valuable to the company. I wish I could come though... Oh well.

Something about the Spykers. They are pretty sweet. Not sure about the rear end though.

The evora looks great in that picture. Much better than with the Dodge body.

I wanna re-do it with paint. But the sharpie will be fun for meets and dry days. IT won't be on the car on normal days though, as I don't htink it can handle a good washing/scrub, or heavy rain.

Zach - I love the quick shots of the Lumina plastic hubcaps - very slick.

Chris - Did you sign your sunroof? Is that gonna be a collector's edition?

87 turbo II--- use vinyl and then you dont have to worry about it.

Well, I wont be able to make this meet. Is the last week of school and the week before finals. I have a test or project due every day this week. so i will be spending all of my free time doing that. i will most definitely be at the january meet though.

Sweet- It reminds me of that doodle you did on your T2 in the pollen

So I got my big christmas present early... And I think it was a smarter choice than a Wii. It's a 17 gallon 5 hp compressor. And I got a little 6 gallon 2 hp shop vac too. So yay for me. I just need an impact gun and some other little air tools now.


And I've got your christmas present already, Collin!

Crit,

I have a left taillight. It is not to nice, or it would be on my car, but if you just need a functional left taillight it will work. I'll bring what I have tomorrow night and you can decide if you want it.
