Too late! I was already there by 2 and back home by 330 or so. Looks like I'm getting my exhaust work done at Elite in Blaine. w00t!

Looks like the Z will be making a trip to Rochester while I stay at home. Tara's going to visit her mom at the hospital. I'll be staying home rocking the minivan.

Unbelieveable - was going to grab lunch this afternoon and caught the Z a bit high centered on speed bump and ended up snapping one my of the rear 02 sensors off of the test pipes. Stupid lowered suspension! Now I have to see if I can clean out the sleeve without screwing up the threads. Worst thing is that my car in in limp mode and sounds like a 82 buick with a rusted out exahust.

Everybody hit up uni tonight around 1130. I'm new, and judging by the comments on the asian honda gangs, I'm gonna need some non-4 banger backup. Plus, it would be sweet to meet the Z guys. I'll be out there so look for me...chrome silver 03, sprint kit, 5% tint, no front plate.

I'd offer my arms, but I'm back home.
The Honda gangs outnumber us horribly. You best bring your guns.
FYI, MEPS was by Ft. Snelling at the federal building. I am now officially sworn in to the US Air Force.
Awaiting shipment date.

MIL is coming home today, and I'm going to be playing L4D tonight. I'm not a fan of UNI when it's full of ricers.
Ben, I also have an extra bung.

Thanks Ben. The Z will be stored until I'm done with tech school I believe. I'll be back up here this fall I think. I'll take a week or a week and a half of leave to visit family, maybe meet up with you guys, and drive it down to my first assignment.Of course I'll still be active here and a long road trip will be necessary to meet up with you guys again.
Lol, sorry guys.
Should I feel like bad for not giving it to you guys?What career field did you pick? I've been in a couple years and can help with questions. pm me. AF has done me very well so far. Just need to get past the bs in the dorms, basic, and tech school.
Just found out I'm going to be stationed in Rapid City May of next year. Finally get to leave Japan. Kind of worried about ordering parts since who can install them? Are there any good shops in SD? Twin Cities is a 7 hour drive but is there any decent shops in the MN area of SD area. Thanks for the help. I'm going to continue searching google.

I'd rather stay in Japan.

Haha we just ordered a full SLP exhaust and headers system tonight along with a diablo tune for my moms truck tonight. I bet that thing will damn near keep up with the g after that stuff is installed.
