Default Back from Texas

I will be coming home from Texas on the 1st of June, so if anyone wants to meet up and go for a ride.....I'm down. Just a heads up too, I've done a couple quarter mile runs while I've been in El Paso and stock the Z runs 15.4 pretty consistenly across the board. Even all the other stock guys here too. Just an FYI.

Well I am sure that the 15.4 is because this is my first time at a drag race. Yes there are a lot of traction problems, and no it isn't quite at sea level. It is only I think 1000 or 2000 feet lower than colorado springs. Also I am not really being rough with it since i still have to drive it everyday. Maybe one of you 14.5 guys can show me what I'm doing wrong. I am going again tonight. I'll let you know if my skills improve or whether there is no hope for me.

Rob, you just chillin in Arifjan for 6 months, or is it Iraq in the near future? If so I wish you the best of luck man and know that we all support you.

Usmanasif, Thanks for the welcome. How have you all been doing?

I am still trying to lay low for a bit and try the flight thing again now that my DUI stuff is all done with. Two times over there is more than enough for me. But you should be livin the life then in Arifjan for a year.....there is a Baskin Robbins closer to you than there is to me. heheh. Well, I plan on doing some work to the Z here in the near future, once I learn how to drive it i guess. hehe

Oh well good luck brother, and keep in touch. Gimme a ring on R&R.

Don't blame you homie. I'm not living on Arifijan though. I live off base/post in Kuwait. Also we cover Arifijan, LSA, Virgina, Navistar and any off post American auto accident. Luckily its not as busy as it may seem.

I'll hit everyone up when I come home. Thinking of trying to take a vaction end Sept through mid October.
