Because I had my car registered in the states for longer than 4 months they made me get it inspected and gave me temp plates. I picked my car up 4 days before I was gone for almost a month so the timing was pretty good I guess.

I still have the summer only PZero's on it so I have to wait till the weather warms up a bit. Don't wanna take any chances with my new car. I'm going to take some video and pictures when I start hitting the autobahn and some of the back roads.

Sounds like a great trip for Spring Break. I'm not really sure what I'm going to be doing these next three weekends. I have a total of 5 workdays for the next three weeks after tomorrow. We are having a mandatory fun day where the BBall players are having a tourney to celebrate March Madness and the rest of us are getting drunk and watching while we BBQ. My time would be better spent getting some stuff done for work and maybe cleaning my car but what other choice do I really have. We are running a 5K tomorrow, also mandatory. Fun times.

Also, mine is slated to get here May 14th, but the guys in my shop say they usually get here a lot quicker than the ETA. I hope mine comes in 3-4 weeks, but only time will tell.

The car I shipped when I PCS'd got here the day before the ETA, of course it was PCS season. Need to plan a trip to the Ring or something before I ship my car out. Just ordered a Steeda CAI and iTSX last night.

We definitely need to plan a trip to the ring in that case. Not like you wouldn't be leaving me behind anyway as I'm stock.
I would not bring a BOSS Mustang to Korea. I would buy a scooter and learn how to take the trains everywhere (This is what I did the last time I was there when I was stationed at Yongsan). Have you seen the way people drive there. No flippin way.
I personally love basketball but when it's a bunch of guys who don't play all the time it's rather comical. Especially when most of the crowd is hammered or getting close before lunch. They all started drinking around 930 and some were being trotted off back to the barracks on a stretcher. the CSM wasn't happy about that one because they were just strolling down the sidewalk instead of taking an alternate route. Only one mishap and it was caused by my 1SG. He stiff armed a guy and the guy being a little tipsy, stumbled into his wife just as they were stepping off the curb. His wife fell backwards off the curb and the guys beer was spilled all over her. My 1SG ran over and picked her up apologizing. Nothing new to her as she's been an Infantry wife for some time. Wasn't really even mad at the 1SG. She thought her husband did it all on his own. Fun times.
I just cleaned her all up so now she's just waiting for some 98(93 equiv) octane love and then I'm off. Pics to follow.

Cool. I just ran into a guy at the gas station with a 2012 PP GT 500, silver with red thin stripes like the ones I have. He walked out and gave me a "Nice car" I did the same. Man I want those mufflers.

It's gonna be sick when you are done. I'm going with the Kooks headers also. I get a 15% discount and the factory is about an hour and a half from my house in Columbia. I'm a member of the modern muscle CC in NC.
