It's a lot of fun Kevin, sorry you didn't get the chance this year. There is always next year though, like you said

So...to those of you who missed Beaverun last weekend...

Yea, that spoiler lasted an entire half a lap...the roof scoop on the other hand lasted about three.

I"ve got a couple shift ***** and stuff that I can use on the vette, probably put them up for sale.

I've got the aluminum nismo, the black rubber nismo, and a custom fabricated **** modeled after the tommy kaira made of 404 stainless. Its not so much a big baby as it is a fat man, lol
Natural progression is a 370z, but wowza looks like you got a nice find that! hope you have a snow tire set up.

anymore details on the vette>?

I live by a motto, "always trade up". The 370 really never knocked my socks off. Its a great car, but it just felt like more of the same. now with chevy and ford tossing more than 400hp under the hoods it leaves the 370 quite underpowered compared to the competition.

now I have more power than I know what to do with, lol. this thing is a beast, the first two weeks I kinda took things easy as I didnt know how it would handle once i got a little loose. however two autox's in two weeks has taught me that it doesnt give you as much warning before it goes, and it will go in a split second if you arent paying attention and get a little happy on the throttle. it will however stay very composed and balanced if you see the grip loss coming and anticipate it. It also regains composure easily if you ease up a little on the gas.

I got a huge amount of space under the hatch for dead hookers and I get 30mpg on the highway

best car i've ever owned.

Ahh, yea. That's what I used to think too, but I think from a design standpoint the car looks really clean. And yes, I do have all those parts and more...just dunno if/where to add the rest of them. To each his own, but I am happy with it

I agree... car looks good.

I wasn't knocking the look and I wasn't questioning whether you had those things on your car. Just stating my mentality on company logos. Different folks different strokes.

Everything I said.

RPF1, in the kitchen. Hankook RS3's in the garage. Crawford v1 plenum powdercoated black just installed. APS strut bar powdercoated black just installed. Injen intake...Yuuup powdercoated black and on. Picked up a shift **** from Brrcats, just got some slight modifying to do to that. It sits too high, so im going to counter sink it to get it low to fit better with the B&M short throw.

Waiting to save up some money for Koni yellows. May get some custom Swift springs while im at it too, but I been wanting an AR-15 for a while too, or another hand gun. So the list goes on and on, but the money is a bit tight with xmas and all.

My gears have been turning on that for a long time lol. I may be impulsive though and pick up a springfield xd40 I found for $350 brand new though. Never a bad idea to add a 40 to the collection. We'll see I guess what my brain decides.

xd essentials or xdm?

that's right around the going rate for the essentials but if it is an xdm that is an amazing deal.

Everyone has a massive hard on for 40s... i dont care much for them
