yeah, I don't get the whole buying a performance car and not using the performance.
its like buying a boat and not putting it in the water, or buying a minivan an not loading it with screaming kids and taking them to soccer practice. its a deprecating asset (99% of vehicles), why not atleast get some enjoyment out of your wasted $.

People jumped on the $164.95 shipped Eibach springs on Am.a.zon for the RA. Now you can't get them until mid-July. Booooo.

Dam, shouldn't have bought that open box blu-ray at BB. Sony's going to drop the PS3 price to $199.

its very uncool. Cars are very poor investments, especially when your paying dealer mark-ups as you certainly will on even a POS mustang with a rare color.

Yup, that's what i was thinking. Have been guessing on tire pressure up till now, though it be nice to get some real data.

BTW, can't wait to get my valvecover. I went to pick up headlights today, and the kid have a saved one sitting out, and it looked awesome! My STM stainless kit came in, along with a new valve cover gasket! I can't wait for you guys to see the new look on the Chu-mobile

I'm not sure why you are so excited to have a hot pink valve cover.

You sure must have saw or heard me though. The white stock appearing 350z that sounded extremely rough as it pulled out?
Yeah, it has like 4 turbos and 2 superchargers, and its a v12...Only like 1400 HP on like 38 pounds of boost though..
and a cracked exhaust manifold causing all the rukus, haha.

I saw Dr's Blue Ix, some grey IX MR across from it, and some guys in a blue IX that was bagged and looked like crap hanging with all the guys with the hondas.
Erm.

Didn't see your 7 anywhere though. Jeez if I did i'd have gone ballistic. Wanna trade for my Z lol?


My Ix's gonna be done soon Im not trying to rush it. I searched for a nice lightly modified IX MR SE with semi-decently mild mileage and I found it, and im trying to perfect it. In about 3 weeks though... it should be complete. Im just waiting for my Voltex Kit to be installed I got it from VIS.

hahah that bagged one looks horrible. Didn't see it up close last night but last summer it had big chrome wheels on it & looked even worse. Dr. Evo is there every week, & the grey IX i never seen before there or the owner. We usually have a group of at least 5 there that are all modded & pretty nice.

haha no thanks on the 350z, been there done that with a modded g35.
My VII was there majority of the night, I'm sure I'll run into you soon enough. Looking forward to seeing your car finally complete. Good luck finishing it up.
