I can't stop LMAO! Today steve and I went out to a friends ranch to shoot guns. BTW steve you wilson combat is noice! and for my other buddy matt and his dad (owners of the land) to shoot some new pistols they got. Anyway after several hours and several rounds later we head home (I rode w/steve in his Z) It's a decent drive out in the middle of nowhere and for awhile we had a unknown subject riding our *** for miles. Then out of nowhere this Plymouth voyager mini van screams by us! I cant stress enough this van was hauling azz! about a mile or so later we come to a stop sign in which this van just sits there? we thought WTF since they seemed to be in such a fawking hurry. Then we notice the quick flash of reverse lights and thought great this POS broke down, This is funny cause it was a POS but was driving like a ferrari. I personally started to get a little nervous, and when i seen the van door open i reached down and had my kimber ready to go. A woman emerged? and then i thought ok she's broke down, but she's smiling when she walks to steves window and says, ROFLMAO Hi im a professional driver for the germans? and you have a nice car and then walks back to her van. Steve and I both were like WTF just happened and couldnt stop laughing. She had arkansas plates, and spoke the native southern tongue? my gut hurts from laughing. When we got closer to my place i started questioning this though. Why would a woman get out in the middle of BFE by herself and approach a strange vehicle?hmmmmm im starting to think that someone else was in the van and they had intentions of carjacking steves Z but realized there was 2 guys and atleast a gun(it was laying on my lap in my hand), and thought maybe not a good idea????? I dunno it was funny as fawk, but scary now at the same time. I will give her credit though she was driving the voyager like it was on rails, i should've invited her to the auto X LOL. I 
just seems out of place for a woman to do that? especially in the location we were in.

^ Don't invite her! If she is driving for de germanz I don't want my azz handed to me by a minivan! Hahaha! That is def strange that she did that though. Just jumped out and said that huh? That definitely deserves a WTF afterward.

Aside from needing a few hours for my junk to thaw (tmi? wow I really should have dressed alittle warmer), I also had a great time watching you guys.
Good to finally meet you David. And Nelson, thanks again for the ride along. 10/10ths, Quite impressive, sorry all I had were expletives to describe it.

i would think my G coupe and its vdc throttle cut (even when 'off') would be maddening.
the ride along with you was alittle intimidating. I shoulda rode with someone alittle more noobish. Like the other guy that rode with you, on the backside, I really couldnt follow the next turn. :/ Guess that comes with alot of events. I'm sure you've burned thousands in tires and brakes to get to that level.

I may try my hand w/it after a diff, but having a open one is pointless IMO.
David did you find out about the deaf thing?

David I have a question. How many more things can I do to my car before I get pushed up into SM class? I'm not really sure how the mods affect the classification systems in the autox. I know changing out from stock items places you into BSP but how far can you go from getting bumped into a higher class than BSP? Another is what sizes of rims can you run if I wanted to revert back to BS class? Tim and I were talking and I think I misinformed him in saying that if you changed out from stock rims you would get class bumped. I talked with some of the other guys and they said you wouldn't get bumped as long as you stayed with the same size rims as factory(actually a guy said you could as long as you stayed within a 1/4 inch from factory sizes and stayed on street tires). Is this true? Or can you change rims and go with different sizes? Also what suspension changes can you make? I know you can add a front sway bar, maybe a rear, and change out shocks but not struts. Is this true as well? Was thinking of going back to BS and getting more seat time and maybe going a different class at a later time.
