I have had that sig for a few months now, it cracked me up when I first saw it so I had to have it. The other quote from Car and Driver I just picked up a few days ago.

$13500 without the cobra bumper/fogs, etc.

Car would include: original bumper, the new headlights, JLT intake, Mac midpipe, Borla mufflers, 4.10s, X-3 tuner, and B&M shifter. Stock midpipe and stock shifter would be included. Factory stereo would be reinstalled. There are probably other things included that I'm forgetting but you know the car so you know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, it has Cobra Jet emblems on the Shaker.

That's a very fair price.

Got the Steeda sport springs and Koni shocks/struts installed over the weekend. I like the new stance of the car. The ride is really pretty good still. Only issue is the instructions for the rear springs don't deal with a Vert. My car has 2 long chassis stiffening bars that go from up by the doors under the rear differential and connect around the rear license plate. So the rear end will not lower enough to get the stock springs out. I had to use a spring compresser to get them out. Not much driving time yet to see if the handling is much better or not.

This is pretty cool, Scott! Lowering makes the cars look more bada$$. I was thinking about changing to some slightly less aggressive springs such as Steeda Sports. The Eibach Sportlines I have now are as stiff as the boner I've got from excitement for my valve covers arriving today.

I didn't know the verts had any bracing like that....

Well Spherion doesn't do hiring for job specific titles. So I called them and they said I would have to submit my resume directly to Deans. That's what I did for the Expeditor position now I just will keep my fingers crossed.

"Thank you for submitting your resume. Your resume has been forwarded to the member of Dean Foods' recruiting team assigned to your chosen job. If you are among the candidates selected for an interview, you will be contacted directly by one of our recruiters."

Lance, did you talk to someone at Deans the other week or someone from Spherion? You need to talk to someone at Deans directly. Call and ask for human resources (Tricia or Ron) and get a resume/application turned in.

I would call and talk to Tricia Miller. Tell her you're interested in a position and wanted to make contact. Mention the Expeditor position that you found listed on the Dean Foods website. Keep my name out of it all for now.

Scott, sorry if I missed this somewhere else, but which Koni's did you get....the yellows or the STR.T's? I'm looking at going to a similar setup, so interested in your take after you get a little more time behind the wheel.

Not until you wash that dirty engine bay. Best to keep it covered up.
