I will ask him, his/my neighbor sells firewood and gives that guy pices for free, so I am sure he has the supply's to do it. He is a really cool guy maybe a screw loose but who doesn't. I will let you know what he say's.

Thanks, Jay. I'm also looking into making a bench out of a log split in half, sanding it down, and lacquering that badboy with like 10 coats. Saw an old log down the street and was tempted to ask for it. I just don't have the tools.

Travis, I just texted you. If I'm up in your area this next week, I'm going to have to bug you and listen to your car.

HE is considering letting me take it to our meet on the 25th but ill keep on him about it as im sure a lot of you would like me to get it out and see it and get rides... SO i will do my best

lol nah its fine i don't get offended ever... the sound you prob. heard was me trying to drive the new clutch... sometimes because its still new to me its a little grabby and makes some noise when i get started in first... put the vortech on the VQ is kind of known for making quite a bit of rattling and wierd noises until you turn the idle up a little.... but i think when i saw you i was just starting to take off and ur z had me a little distracted so i didn't take off smoothly.. lol

I used to peel poplar in my younger days, I still have a relative in the tree cutting service in Ashland,WI. what kind-of dimensions are you looking for. or you could always borrow my chainsaw w/20in blade, make a cut than roll it.

Well, attended my first meet today. Bunch of acuras. Not going to lie, they may be FWD, but they have some CLEAN TLs. (that is the majority of the club too, no integras)

They wanna meet up with us some time.

My neighbor is going to help me cut down one of our trees. A section of the trunk will do for a cool, natural bench. I'm looking at 4 to 5 feet in length.

Wanna help? Might make a day of it with grilling, cutting, making firewood for our pit.

Tell them to bring their Asian bishes.... that's the only way I'll hang out with Acuras.

I seen a blue Z roll through twice I was trying to get your attention, there was a spot right next to my Porsche but you kept going. Where you looking for a Z, I didn't or I don't bring my Z down at night no traction plus I am always missing gears. So the trusty 10 sec auto goes out.
