Hey all. Power has been out at my house for 30 hours. Sucks, don't realize how much you rely on electricity until its gone. Trees all over the place.
My wife's house where my son lives, but luckily was still with me over the extended weekend was hit pretty bad. Their power lines ripped from the house, trees all just all over front and back. AC unit knocked off its block laying on the side. Front door awning ripped down, blocking the front door. Glass patio table shattered, chairs split and all over the place. Tree branches lodged into the side of the house, nutz I tell ya.

I'm staying at my g/f's hotel where she works, 40 miles from my house in Valparaiso Indiana. Free room and A/C worth the drive. Sleeping in this stuff sucks with no A/C let alone no fans. Looking forward to my hour drive (vs normally a 3 minute drive) to work in the morning.


ps instant email notification sucks, and not working for s*it on here! Only here, and been like that a while.

Yeah yeah.... And that dang Saleen SuperShaker has thrown a wrench in the works... But I dont think I wanna pay $7k+ for that setup... So although I'd love a Saleen with a built-in shaker, I think I'll probably end up doing one of the turnkey Brenspeed Paxton or Vortech Kits and modify my shaker shroud and cold air tube accordingly.

I'm wondering why Brenspeed's Saleen kits include bigger injectors, but their Paxton/Vortech kits include the BAP?



I asked this a couple weeks ago, but I wanna know who still plans on going to the show in Elkhart on saturday? I'm about 75% for-sure going.. I didn't register by mail. Hope I can still get in.

I've been to South Haven many times. I thought the old harbor inn was going condo. It's right along the river just 2 blocks north of town and was a bunch of buildings that they told the top floor of each one and made them into Hotel rooms. Right below use to be a cute little shopping mall but it has mostly closed down due to lack of business during the off season. A place to eat is Clementine's. North beach is a great place to see and go swinning in Lake Michigan.

Best investment I ever made was a 5000 watt generator. Loss power one time from a Ice strom for 5 days. I when thought 22 gallons of gas. A neighbor and I both had them and were the last ones in the sub divsion after the 3rd night. Everybody else left for Hotel rooms. My neighbor spent $600 in Hotel and eats and I told my gerantor was only $550 she about **** a brick. I fell our pain, good luck.

Wow, that's crazy stuff! I didn't lose power here, but almost had the power go out in Glen Ellyn at work. Rt. 59 through Bartlett is still all messed up, downed power lines and trees, and it looked like a power pole got cut right in half by lightning.

It's on wheels. It's a Generac brand. I plug it into a 220 welding socket and back feed my Breaker box. I turn off the main so I don't backfeed the mainline. It will run everything but not sure of the AC compresser.
