I would do it the way I did in maryland. Price of material plus labor, so an engine cover for the lotus was about $80. Quality, is something I would not compromise, it would be perfect or it would be a free part.

I think you'd have a lot of interest. I would volunteer to be a test subject.

I've always wanted some CF parts in and around the car. Gotta figure out what I'd really want.

Ditto, I could easily live off the interest from the split.
Thanks.

Yeah, I'd be happy with $25k take home from a smaller drawing.

Thanks again. The secret is to just work things out, don't quit, talk it out, have lots of angry sex, go on trips and vacations, and have more sex.

Holy crap! Didn't realize that it would cost so much for mounting and balancing my tires. Guess I should've ordered them through the shop by my house, then it would have been free. At least I know they're going to do quality work, plus I like this shop and like to give them my business when I can. It's hard to find an honest mechanic shop, but these guys are pretty nice and don't mess around.

We should shoot for August. September has all kinds of other things going on like Wings and Wheels, and Morries might be planning something the same month.

Yeah Tire Rack has its downsides.

Aaron, DAMN THAT NSX WENT FAST. I was strongly debating pulling the trigger, and on my Bday one day after it was posted it was gone.
I never see them dip beneath 27-32k$ so someone got a hell of a piece.....possibly a POS depending on upkeep.

The bluffs in EP or Eagan depending on what side youre at.
Duluth (pre-flood)
Stillwater is a perfect mix.

Red Wing would be my choice for a nice drive and old town.

Anyone have a hook up for PDR work? I have a couple I'd like to get removed and would like to keep it under $100 if possible.

Aaron used to have a guy that did PDR.

I'm taking the Z on a little trip tomorrow. I'm going to some beach on a lake just north of Stillwater for a family reunion. Should be a nice drive.

It's unlikely anyone here can help but just passing it along.
Federal agents in Minnesota are pleading with the public to help identify a teen who may be in danger with other youths. "We believe the pictured individual is at risk and may need law enforcement assistance, but may not be able to request it," ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer told msnbc.com on Friday.
