OK, anyone can chime in on ideas for this:

I am working with the owner of a medical research firm, he wants to give me $10,000 to pay for my redline entry fee and give me a bit of a cushion. He wants something in return obviously, but having his logo on my car does him no good because his firm only does medical contracts. So I have come up with the idea of doing a 20% ROI after 1 year of his initial investment with the option to receive the interest payment while leaving the initial investment with me for another year.

Anyone have any other ideas? Anyone else want to invest? Lookin your way Jason lol (JK but I do want to put an MK's sushi sticker on the car if you are interested).

Born in Alton and lived in Wood River for a few years. I was in southern Illinois about 40 miles north east of St. Louis. I wasn't there very long. my mom worked for AT&T in st louis and she got transferred to Dallas in 92. My grandparents and one of my uncles still live up there about an hour south of Chicago.

Didn't wanna get stitches. No health insurance right now and that shiet ain't cheap. Plus I wouldve only needed like two and it was on my eye brow so they wouldve had to shave part of my eye brow so I just put some super glue on it and went back to work lol.

Good call on the super glue, but I hope you cleaned it out with alcohol really good first. You don't want it to get infected.
Keep a clean Butterfly bandage on it to keep it from opening again.

Well, the roads have already been cleared of snow with salt. They (235s) do grip a bit better in the cold than my summer tires (285s) did, I'll tell you that.

I'll let you know how they do in January when I come back up to Chicago. I'll be driving down to Dallas later this week. I only put them on because I didn't want to risk my life and others' lives on the road driving nearly 1000 miles on summer tires.

Did you get my email, Chris?

I got that stretched tires look, btw. I put on 235/45s all around on 8.5 and 9.5 wheels.

Chicago girls > Dallas girls. You got any hot girl cousins/aunts/nieces in their 20s?

You put super glue on an open wound? No liquid bandaid?
If you wanted to be all hard, you could've just branded that gash shut.

Hella-Flush ....Lol

So Chicago girls are better than Dallas girls ??

If you wanted to be all hard (pun intended), you could've just branded that gash shut.

I was told that super glue was used/ invented for Doctor's in the war to help close wounds quickly....not sure about that tho ???

You are correct, but specific chemical compounds in the glue itself need to be considered before applying to skin/wounds.

And yea, there are more hot girls here than there are in Dallas, but all of them also have SOs. I'm exposed to more people here in general, though, than I was in Dallas so that could be a factor. Anyway, the quality is probably the same, but quantity is not.

Actually, I do have the medical grade glue. For future ref, you should never put alcohol or peroxide into a puncture or deep gash. Benzo soap or betadine only.
