That looks so good. I need one now. Why do you do this?

In other news, I drove all the way out to Pittsburgh today and back to sell my wheels. It was a long 9 hour round trip, but well worth it considering he was the only person interested and paid more than I was asking for them. Now just awaiting a package from Japan in a few months

I tried to get you in on this wheel nonsense, but instead you bought bags from me lol.

So does this mean our photoshoot will be postponed because you're riding hovercraft for a while?

Jesus 9 hours to sell some wheels, glad that dude didnt flake on you.

I ordered up some AutoZone brembos... Aka reps and all new oxygen sensors, we are supposedly getting a foot of snow on Tuesday dont know if ill be doing much work on the car..

Also got another jack so hopefully I can double team the car and get the front up high enough without raising the entire side of the vehicle.

Even if he flaked, I had his $1000 down payment already. I'll happily drive 9 hours for $1000 haha

And yes, Craig you have made me poor lol and our photoshoot of both cars will be awhile unfortunately. However, I'm always down to shoot yours in the new color

Speaking of photoshop I found this funny

Congrats Craig! Welcome to the club.

Also, have the option to trade my OEM cats (90k miles) for Megan headers. Thoughts? Wanted to get DC or OBX Longtubes, but at no cost to me, it's tempting. Unsure

At 90k miles, that might be a worth while trade. Condition of the headers? And I'm unsure about longtubes simply because of sound. I really have heard a VQ with longtubes that I was crazy about the sound. But thats all preference

Ive had my strut shorties for a few years now and I love them. Absolutely no complaints and gave my car a much deeper tone (rather than the high pitched long tubes Ive heard)

I think I hold out for anything but megan racing headers just because they might have fitment issues... (I've heard they require you to grind part of the steering joint or hammer a dent into a tube...

They also only cost like $290 new so used they would only be worth like $150 give or take...

Factor that into the fact you can get brand new DC shorties shipped to your door for $400... And the hours of fun they are going to take installing I think I would pass on the Megan's.

I'll think about it for a bit. Because I have zero use for my OEM cats and they aren't worth much. He's selling them for 160 or trade for cats. I'll sleep on it

You're going to wake up with a sore neck. Sleeping on the cats will not be comfortable

Did you drive it before he got to? That's almost worse than stealing a man's girlfriend.

Side note, 18" of snow and 4 foot snow drifts suck. Spent a solid 6 hours clearing the driveways. Then spent another 6 ripping carpet up in prep for hardwood floors next Monday. It was brutal.

Also been tossing around the idea of installing the Vortech this week. But it is looking less and less likely considering I could only get started tomorrow evening (possibly).

No it was just some tune revisions lol. He requested I go get it. He was having some starting issues and turns out it was just a mess up in the tune. And he knows I know how to respect another man's car. I only abuse my own

Not bad then nearly 1000 must be eye opening in a street car. And I'm the same way. There's a reason my friend's tend to only trust me to drive their cars back from somewhere and not the other guys
