You can open the hatch from the inside, without using the remote. You need to reach back under the rear strut bar and on the underside of it (driver's side) will be a lever you can pull to manually open the hatch.

Talked with CPA tuesday......

Its all about assets and stuff and since I owe on it, it really isnt considered an asset, its a ratio thing ????? thats why I have CPA

What sealant if I may ask sir ?

Chris, because of my work schedule being so crazy and life in general being so busy I have missed so many events. I get every third weekend off, but usually get bogged down with stuff to do.

On top of being busy, I don't have tires to participate in an event. It will be the spring season that I'll be able to buy tires for. Aside from that I would love to just get out there and watch and hang with you guys. I just haven't had the chance in awhile.

As for the little one... He is doing just great. 15 months old already and is the best part of my life. That little dude has more personality every day and is so much fun.

Ya man you should definately try to come out with us. You're one of the few people I havnt had the pleasure of meeting yet and you seem to be a pretty cool guy. Even if you aren't able to race just come hang out, grab a few ride alongs and have some chow with us.
I had forgotten you had a little one at home. I'm a little young to have started a family yet but the misses and I have our 4 year old god niece and she's with us more than she is her parents. Her dad is always working in Afghanistan and her mother isn't much of a mother unfortunately so we have basislly raised her since she was born and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn how much of a blessing and a joy (and sometimes a PITA lol) children can be at my young age.
I know how it is with the work schedule. I work nights Tuesday through Saturday so I'm always free to go to the events but I'm always sleep deprived when I get to go.
Glad to hear your kiddo is doing great and can't wait to finally meet you one of these days.

I use HD Poxy. It's a small company that I only found out about through a detailing forum I actually got it for free for buying their polish, but I love it.
