Dave, I'm so sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences for you and your family. I'm sure your boys will have lots of questions as this is never easy for anyone especially kids. I'm terrible sorry.

Hey guys sorry I have not been around I've been pretty busy. The charity car show went great and I'll post up pics soon.
I have decided to ride in the JDRF ride for the cure bike ride. It is a 105 mile ride being held in Kansas City at the end of August. I need help raising $3000.00 for the ride. I am doing this as a personal challange for myself and for the charity. All I ask is that you give anything you can and pass along this link to your friends and family so they can look over the information and donate if they want.
http://ride.jdrf.org/index.cfm?fusea...e&riderID=9216

Thanks
Steve

Cool, Steve! I was supposed to do the MS bike ride last weekend, but I was a little overwhelmed. Of course, I'll donate.

Thanks for the kind works, fellas. I'm preparing myself mentally and physically to be supportive to her family. Like I said, it'll be hard for the boys so it'll be hard for me.

Good luck with that, Nick.

So I had a chance today to go to DC in June. Missed the deadline by minutes. Then I thought about volunteering to go to Jamaica for 90 days. Still thinking...

Im thinking about doing coilovers this summer. It would be the only mod, might as well make it a good one.

My G is not going to college with me this winter, so im making it a summer only vehicle.

Had to put my front windows down to 50% today as well. Really sucks, but what can ya do? EP cops suck..

Which college? I'd take the car no matter what.

I saw a silver Z at Lake Nokomis. It had black wheels, looked like glossy black ADR's.

Im not gonna subject my car to sitting outside during a fargo winter. That would be cruel.

Your car would probably be the best looking car in Fargo no matter what.

I think I'd rather have a working G in the winter than something else.

And also coming from a guy who parks his Z and drives an Impala.

When you guys start driving your cars during the winter, i will.

Id consider driving my car if i lived down here, but not in fargo I. iv seen the lot, the G would get broken into and my audio crap would be stolen. The car would get dinged, keyed, ect. It would be beat to **** after 1 winter up there.

Not worth my hard earned sweat and cash to let it sit up there.

Plus, i want a 4X4 and its somthing i'll keep for years to come, to haul ****, move stuff, haul a future dog, ect.

Going to become the beater truck. Plus we need an extra car to pull the boat with during the summer.

I drive an Impala because I have to for work. I used to drive the Z all the time to work, except in the winter.

But I guess you've got a point about people abusing your car in Fargo. Why the hell do you want to go there anyway? There's better places...
