Forgot to mention Friday I went down to Redondo beach and checked out a local car show. Good turn out with a good nunber of stangs and copy cat corbras. Start off with two shots looking upcoast toward the Santa Monica mountains then down coast at Palos Verdez...









Saw a Super Snake with a handicap sign WTH!






The usual rods and some misc rides...

Bill- Good call on the burger place those burgers were amazing. The Grey Goose and Vodka was a good night cap.



Jed-Thanks for the "K-memba" impersonations and the beer chart.

George-Thanks for coming through with the foam things.

Luis-Your crazy man.

All in all a good day can't wait till next time.

Leo- I like Jed's battery tray the best.

Jed- Nice pics from RB. I agree, it was hotter than a ***** yesterday. I think Pam blew a gasket; down for the count from the heat.


Well the 'promised' week is finally here. I sure hope something happens with my car this week.

Just picked up a set of these on ebay for $40.


Should look something like this when done.


Installed the GT500 inflator kit last night. FYI-You resuse the clamp/bracket that holds the spare in place.

EDIT:Said screw it and placed the order for the GTS headlight blackouts. (Tom- I believe they're the same ones that "photolabgirl" has.)

+ 2 I thought Scott was still in the pokey. even though I liked Velvet Revolver better I'd be interested to see how it was



I haven't taken pics of this yet, but on the driver's side front wheel there is a small section of clear coat that is coming off the wheel Noticed it when I cleaned up the car over the weekend.

Good news is that American Racing and the place I bought them from is asking no questions and I'll have a new wheel Wednesday.


Now if only I could get my X-Cal2 back from SCT I'd be even happier.

Smoked turn signals is gonna look wicked on your ride Leo. I've always liked the blacked out look on black Mustangs, they look mean.

Am now... Titanium covers... The stock ones are probably the ugliest valve cover ever made. There just isn't enough to work with, IMO

STP didn't miss a beat.... opened with a ballad from the Crow sound track (song name escapes me now) and then jammed into Vaseline, Plush, and on & on. Weiland was wearing a suit and tie, funny as heck watching him slither around the stage. All in all, they were great but Disturbed stole the show on day 1- and actually Papa Roach stole the show on day 2.

We went last year (first ROTR ever) and Velvet Revolver was the 2nd head liner (ZZ Top was first). VR kicked serious butt- Slash really wailed and was just awesome to see it...... my pick between the two? Gotta go with STP- there's just chemistry there (pun intended, LOL) between Weiland and the other band members.
