Good morning gents.... 36 hours till my wife returns from California- effectively the end of both hers and my vacation LOL!
I've been thinking about removing my shaker and buying a hood..... I've been in love with this Cervini's hood since it first came out and then at Stangstock there was a lady there that had it on her Eleanor clone- what do you guys think:

That's really a tough call for me. I obviously love the shaker since I have one but I also love the look of the Eleanor's. But the Eleanor kits have an entire theme going from front to rear. Perhaps if you did the hood,front bumper and grill in combo than I'd like that for sure.

Don't I know it.
He has done work on my cars since 1985. He is great. Also this past March when Ford wanted over 4K to put a new trans in my wife Explorer he tore it apart and found out it was only a bad O-ring in the pump. So while it was out I had him completely rebuild the trans including a new torque converter and he only charged me $1,600.00 and gave me a 2year/24K mile warranty to boot. I think when I stop by tomorrow night after work to pay him I need to drop him an extra 50 so he can take his wife out for a nice dinner.Scott
Well I'm done..... 50/50 on the CF Louvers Wife likes it but found all the mistakes right away. Go ahead and hammer me.... wife gave me the OK to buy another set of Louvers. also a picture of the rear rotors from yesterday.

I agree with Tom. Maybe need to move the car out into the daylight for a better picture. I like the rear rotors. I can tell those are not Rotorpros because the slot in curved. What brand is that? And can you just remove that CF stuff if you want?

Yep - I hate to see it end that way, but when you play like poo, that is what you get. I have to say at least we have one Super Bowl under our belts. Let someone else have a shot.
Now I am rooting for whoever is against New England!

Me personnally I'm a Cowboys fan and I want them to get to the 'Bowl but actually I'm rooting for New England. I don't buy all of this "cheating" crap and besides that, they have been incredible this year.

Mark Scotty's word on this date. Little "E" will not have a stellar year like JJ and Gordon. I don't really think he is that good of driver. He got his popularity from his old man. Place your money and take my bet!!!!!!!!

Uh yeah I'm gonna take the bet that he won't have as good of a year as the reigning 2x champ or Gordon.... Sure he got alot of popularity becuase of his old man- but that's hardly his fault. As far as driving ability he did win consecutive Busch championships and had pretty good years in '04, '05, and finished '06 in 5th place overall. He spent '07 plagued with MANY engine problems after announcing he was leaving DEI- coincidence? I think not......
I think after he gets settled into his new team, he'll be back to form. Probably not this year but next.

Nascar...Nascar.. are those the red neck hillbillies that can't turn right
I watch acouple of races a year...use to belong to a Fastasy Racing league, finished 2nd and then 1st. The stopped having the league after that. Only about 10 to 15 drivers (4 or 5 teams) even have a chance to win a race, the rest of them are just earning a pay check and trying to get sponsership for the next race. Morgan-McClure closed their doors this week. Trying to get eought money to just run Daytona (Mike Wallace driver).

I love watching Barrett-Jackson. I think it is televised starting on Thursday thru Sunday this coming week. Heck, I was watching some replay of 2007 yesterday. Karen and I don't watch Nascar like we did either. We kinda lost interest. I've be a big Mark Martin fan and she a Rusty Wallace fan. Now Martin is driving Chevy's no less.
