So now that you're at ease with the 89, will it be time to start pumping up the 06?

If you haven't already guessed, I'm on a performance kick lately (and a tiny appearance one ). Also on my short list include some suspension component changes. And yes, I have a money tree growing in my backyard.

I changed my avatar, didn't I?

I'm done with the '06, too, though. There still isn't anything more that I really want and/or need. Still waiting to hear more about her job, so I'll try again to cool it for awhile.

Yes, I noticed the avatar change, glad you're back! (no offense to the 89)

I understand the job situation completely. I'm sure if things go her way, she'll once again give you that pencil back for your 06 mod list.

Why I continue to attempt to make my car faster is beyond me.
I'm actually a bit paranoid cruising around in the city. I'm constantly looking around and scanning my mirrors for cops. I'm good for at least 4 violations right off the bat, and that's before I back out from the garage!
Yet I continue to look for the next mod... gotta love it!

Check out this picture that Jackie took... I love it:



That's my friend Dave talking to me... I think it was when I was getting ready to drive over to the dyno.

"Last minute encouragement", maybe?

She's going to email me the full size... and maybe send me a bigger print.

Use some Miracle Grow. It'll accelerate the growth.

Very close to reality

I am trying to reconcile in my mind the prioritization of mods though

I know I need the tint but I want the 4.10's real bad and the lowering springs, and................

And of course are good friend Bill just adds complexity to all this geez

I was talking to the Mrs. brother today and he said just lay low for a few weeks then hit her up again. He knows his sister and I know my wife, low under the radar for awhile it has to be boys

Bill, Bill, Bill bad boy Bill. Calif. is a hard state to deal with at times. Texas is just the oppisite except for the emmissions in Houston. Every year you have to test for emmissions. If your outside of Houston or Dallas or San ANtonio then your free and clear absolutely no emmisions testing at any time. I used to get my 4Runner inspected when my daughter was going to school in Lubbock because there was no emmision testing. Makes it so much easier.

So what are the 4 violations you have lined up Bill before driving out of your garage?
  • Emmisions?
  • Noise?
  • ?
  • ?
Of course when you only drive the Torch once every 2 weeks you lesson your chances of getting hit for a violation

Now come clean what are the big 4

Thanks Brian, Zanio is so easy and so sweet. It really takes me like just a bit over an oz. yes 1 oz of Zanio to do the whole GT. Now that’s bang for the buck

The and's will get you everytime. I'm trying to justify my purchase of some goodies. Hopefully if I get it worked out I'll be done for some time.

When I did mine the first time I could not believe that 1 oz. would do the whole car, so I did it twice to empty out the bottle. I always think I'm gonna run out before I'm done but it's always the perfect amount.

OK I'm biting, what do you want to swap the MGW shifter Ball in for? Are you getting tired of the white Hurst shift ****?

Dodgers is that a kick ball team......................

A few weeks? Unacceptable.

Grow a pair Phil and show her who's boss! They'll only be 2 outcomes.. you'll get what you want or you'll end up out in the !

Correct on the 2 you listed.
You missed, no front plate and tinted windows.

However what'll land me in the Big House won't be the 4 violations mentioned. It'll undoubtedly be for Exhibition of Speed or Speed Contest or Wreckless Driving or any of the aforementioned with a Minor in the car!

Think that about covers it.

No, not tired of it. It's just that I have 2 cool looking *****. Can't hurt to swap in the MGW Gripper Ball every once in a while.

Dodgers is that a kick ball team......................
Why yes it is! In fact, here comes your kick right about now..

Well, we're not baseball nuts, but we do enjoy going out to the ball game when we get a chance. Haven't been to any Dodger games this year yet (too $$$ for tickets), waiting for them to go on a losing streak so the ticket prices go down in eBay.

You see, I do other stuff besides just staring at my Mustang under the carcover.
