Cool

Well the time has come for me to pack up the family and drive from the Westcoast of Canada to 1.5 hours East of Phoenix to visit with my parents. Waiting there for me are:

Flowmaster axelbacks
off road H-pipe
Steeda shifter
Eibach pro series springs
BMR LCAs
BMR adjustable panhard rod

I am also buying a 21' Bayliner down there and towing it home

My parents have no idea we are coming so I should get quite a reaction when we walk in the door. They spend the winter down there. They thought they were bringing the parts home for me, not me picking them up.

Wish me luck driving there with the wife and a 4 and 1 year old!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

Congrats, Richard! Good luck on the trip. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] Sounds kinda like visiting your parents for Christmas... except you get more gifts and it's not nearly as cold.

Well I am here, everything went well. 29 hour drive! Managed to see the end of a high speed chase...the girl driving a Toyota Tercell tried to outrun the cops and flipped her car right in front of me (50ft) as I was eating a soft ice cream cone at McDonalds. She crawled out of her upside down car, all cut up bleeding all over just in time for the cop to slam her to the ground and cuff her.

Man, it was insane.

The parts are great, can't wait to install them when I get home. My parents were blown away when I came to the door with pizza at 930 pm.

They were also blown away when I told them they are going to get a 3rd grandchild!!!

Love the sun here, 80 degrees today. I am not looking forward to the drive home, it is a long one!

Yea, that would have been cool, Sixty six. I will come down again, my parents are here every winter. I didn't bring the Mustang though, we came down in the Sport Trac.

Bought a 1997 19' Maxum boat today, now I have to tow it 2700kms home. I am not doing it in one go, we are going to make it a 3 day trip. At least now I have a place to put the new off road h-pipe, in the boat. Wish me luck
