Its because I don't want to dump all my money into the car I'm not doing a lot of things i had planned to do originally.

I looked at the list and started taking stuff off I didn't need or was to expensive to be justified.

No pics yet. Car still on jackstands in pieces in the garage under a tarp. Waiting on motor to be completed. Waiting on JesseB to finish up the turbo kit and AC kit for FF kits. Waiting on parts to get to the house. Lot of stuff to tie together but it will be worth it.

Alot of my expenses were kinda un-avoidable as it relates to the engine and turbo kit. The only thing I really splurged on was buyign 2 sets of wheels. Completely un-neccesary but after ordering the Works I saw Gruppe-S's limited edition SuperLaps and HAD to have them. I'll probably sell one set of wheels eventually.

Naw, never that. I've lived with the Lakers.....I'll die with them. I got nothing homie. I mean there a few bogus calls but Dallas "HANDLED" them.

I'm so pissed off. I used to laugh at people that let a sports team they follow affect their mood. I was so pissed i couldn't sleep last night like I was on the team. LOL.

I officially have inserted my foot in my mouth. IF anyone can pull it out its the Lakers. I have my doubts but I'm optimistic. Its still the Mavericks. LOL.

Oh yeah I'll readily admit I've been ragging on the heat all season. No respect for LeBron going to DWades team (Thats another topic altogether) and I never thought LA would be down 2 games to the Mav's. Tyson Chandler is a BEAST, The Mav's GM should get a raise for that trade.

*SIGH*

Nothing to say Rock. Nothing to say. I'm gonna get so much **** at my local barbershop. I may have to go to another one for a while to avoid it.

I'm going to go drink myself to sleep.

I hope Chicago takes it now. LOL.

Yes I know they make a rips supercharger for them but most of us prefer a turbo option to make real power. This would be a welcome edition and I could get a eclicpse like this and avoid a evo X
