Trust me I know exactly how you feel. I guess I could have gone the credit route and been done real quick. hell I got banks begging to give me cash with the equity in the house but I just prefer to bang at it in cash flow. Takes longer but it keeps the debt down and nothing to worry about once complete

Paying cash is for pussies. Real men charge it and forget it.

I got nostalgic and found a few pictures of my favorite car i ever owned, i owned this car for about 15yrs and broke my heart when i scrapped it and watched the guy put the fork lift arms through the windows, strip the rims off it and make it 4" high i just found out there was about 6 1st and 2nd gen rx-7's found in a garage and will be up for auction soon. if i only had some monies :unamused:

I run a Jun BL on my car as well and it is super nice. Its one of the only parts that I haven't had to modify to make it fit to my likings on a car. Its also very light. Even the exhaust hangers are hollow they were that **** when designing it. I think its a little loud for a DD without a cat so I put a summit race muffler in place where the cat goes. Its still a little loud. But they say its not too loud, your just too old, so I'm willing to live with it. Plus all the 17 year old girls go whoooo.

I don't know if it is going to be enough. This is the forecast from Wunderground.com (its > weather.com):

Today
Snow showers likely. Snow accumulation around an inch. Brisk with highs in the mid 30s. Temperature falling into the lower 20s this afternoon. West winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of snow 70 percent.

Tonight
Cloudy. Snow showers likely in the evening...then a chance of snow showers after midnight. Additional snow accumulation around an inch. Blustery. Near steady temperature in the lower 20s. West winds 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. Chance of snow 60 percent.

Friday
Cloudy with a 40 percent chance of snow showers. Little or no additional snow accumulation. Highs in the upper 20s. West winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.

Friday Night
Mostly cloudy. Lows around 18. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

It said snow is likely on saturday, but that may be cutting it close. I dunno, how much snow do you need for a snowX?

IMO, you need alot. And judging by how much was on the ground when we went a few weeks ago, we would need about the same to insure that the bare ground would not show. Id say there was a good 9-10 inches on the ground and a good 5 or so that formed the track path. Last thing you would want would be to slide at a weird angle and then all of a suddent hit a bare patch of ground, or even worse, only have 1 or so wheels hit the bare ground while the others are sliding/spinning/accelerating.

Im sure Justin wont mind:

Doesn't matter if we get a foot - I already cancelled

Canexican - why don't you call Beaverun and see if they will hold the VDA for you on the promise you will send payment to them??
