On the subject of lifts, my car actually got stuck on one yesterday. Had to lift the back end up and put boards under it to get it off thankfully no damage done.
Headers came in today as well. FedEx said the package weighed 13 pounds but I will get a more accurate weight later.
is your 17 a gen 3 or 4? the guy at academy tried to get me to buy the 17 over the 19, i didnt like the angle of the handle, but would like to fire yours if you dont mind

^ I want to attend a gun shooting event, too, sometime. I've never shot a gun, though, let alone own my own.

Yep, I've been going to NTB for years now and almost every time I've gone under warranty, they've given me **** about how the package I paid for doesn't cover aftermarket parts. I bought the package after all suspension work and they're the ones who recommended I get one.

I've literally been to every single in-ground rack that NTB has all over the DFW and had to deal with BS from each due to my rusted Kinetix fronts. One or two of the employees at NTBs are understanding and are willing to work on the car, but you gotta make sure you catch them and make sure they haven't been transferred to a different location.

I should be back in TX and settled around then, hopefully, so count me in for a Fall track day!

Anyone can fire mine if they want. I'm not taking a whole bunch of ammo, but I don't burn through it quickly anyway.

Thanks, even if it's just an empty offer.

I haven't met quite a number of you new guys. I can't wait to be back in TX and hang out with the DFW crew, both old and new!

I consider anybody I haven't met (since moving to Chicago) to be new for some reason. Plus, your join date is in a different decade than mine.

Just got back actually. Had a great time. Unfortunately my brother in law and myself had to leave after just one clip of Patrick's AR-15. I'd never shot one before so I was clueless, but after about 2 or 3 rounds I was able to put the rest of the magazine in a tight grouping. You need to come out next time for sure Chris.

Anybody know of any self service car washes that take credit cards around Plano/Frisco? I go to one in Richardson almost every 2 weeks. (spring creek and ave k - near chicken express). Just swipe the card and get to scrubbin. It's nice not needing cash or rushing to add time.
