If you could trick out the DB9 with a bodykit and some kickass wheels, I'd go for it. The 360 looks great out of the factory, but the DB9 is pure sex when modded.

I like that idea, but the next couple of weeks look pretty tight. Work is keeping me really busy for some reason.

Should we plan for something after Thanksgiving?

It's just one of those things when you just get used to it. Drive the car a lot, switch around the way you drive it, i.e. aggressive, soft, medium, etc. Just practice.

**** they are on to me Dave. Closed on the house friday and I've been busy painting and stuff. Redoing the wood floors in the master bedroom and later this week I'm going to start on the kitchen. New floors and counter tops in there. We just got back from Nebraska furniture mart. We had to buy a new stove top. I had never been to this place before. I don't know how to describe it other than huge. The house has electric heat and gas. I'm using the electric heat now because it lets you set the temp in each room. I'm getting use to only having 2 garage spots. But it is deep enough if I got rid of the work bench I could park my Z and the winter beater 2 deep. I love my ACT clutch. I'll be back on more once the house gets in order.

I hade some one else do it. E Buck automotive out of hopkins. I go to him if I can't do it my self. Great guy, Loves Nissans, and a great price. he worked on mainly luxary cars and did some stuff in the past with some porshe race teams.. let me know if any one wants his number. but beware he will chat your ear off....

The clutch is starting to be real smooth still a bit tricky with the cold roads...

So who wants to help me take off my test pipes? And who knows of an exhaust shop that can drill the bung hole for them?
