Deal, Ron!!!

I always find creative ways to "fill" that stash. That's part of the fun too!

example: Winning bowling brackets/money pots, those end up in my stash... ssssssshhhh

Whenever we are talking about cars in my mom's presence, he'll refer to it as the RHM

After 29 years of marriage, I'm pretty sure my mom knows what's going on, but doesn't seem to care as long as she can buy furniture occasionally lol

Exactly… That's the key. As long as she gets her house, clothes, and garden stuff, I can get my car stuff. LOL

something came in the mail today while I was home for lunch. Thank you again Dan and jay for the quick and prompt customer service and delivery. You guys are the best.

So, hopefully this is what I will be doing to Marilyn tomorrow.

Thanks Burton ... gonna send datalogs in and see what happens. I'm seeing a constant 7-8 psi until the end of the run where it spikes to 10 psi for a half-second ... My tuner that did the dyno said the tune has 17.5 degrees of timing into it, it's higher than he thinks is safe, but we'll see what the tune-writers at JDM say ...

Checked out the green machine in the garage when I threw the trash out.
I was going to take her out for a cruise, but it rained last night and the weather is sort of crappy today.

Yeah gabe... Mine is 7 psi, 8 peak, constant... I'm really impressed with the tune writers at magnuson. It's spot on. Btw, those konis, holy molies.... Those things are so sweet. Reduced my wheel spin by a lot. They just help make the rear so planted. Now I feel even faster.
