there is no snow on the lot. I just got back from the morning sessions, only about 22 cars showed up so people are getting MAD runs. I got six in before 11am and bounced! All you guys who didn't show up missed a valuable lesson in car control.

I wanted to make out to there today to watch buy I'm trying to recover from a cold. Still need to get out and wash all the salt off the car. I would have loved to run around on the un-plowed lot.

Anyone heading to the auto show?
Im about to go soon.

Oh and who did I see thursday night heading towards the penthouse in the NE, and on delaware ave.
It was a White evo 8. I didn't notice it the first time, but I saw a white car flash by and my mother was with me ( She decided she wanted coffee from Micky D's at night and since my car was outfront I was like hell, I'll take you) and she said ooh did you see that evo? So I missed it, damnit, and as I was coming back i decided to hit del up to see the little ****stangs rolling up there...and behold, the evo 8 was coming the opposite direction. I didn't have time to flash my lights after I noticed him lol.

Who was that?

Oh and I sold my White evo guys.. :/
AND, I need help from you on some wheel choices. My MR SE is getting the frame finished up (alignment) and going to R&B Custom Auto Body to do my widebody install probably. ( Look them up, check out their Supra, they had 2 called BOMBKA'S BOMBER that was featured in mags, SICK *** cars) He's my father's friend so he will hook me up. I have the voltex replica but Im going to probably have them modify it and stratch it out a bit and make it run with the body lines of the quarter panel ( 4" stretch each way I will probably do). Then the voltex fenders in the front and bumper and skirts and I need to order my canards.

I found a good deal on a PT6262 off craigslist, I am supposed to go pick it up in NY and check it out. I think the a/c has to come of with this, which kills my DD factor. or does it not?

Anyways, whose going to the auto show?

Marc bounced after the first heat. They were letting people run a second heat, but I didn't feel like standing out there after my run, so I bounced and went to the auto show with Dan and Josh.

I cant believe I burned a half tank of gas. I dont envy your commute over there. I had a good time. It was nice to get out again before the baby comes.
