Here are some of the latest pictures that I have taken.

Parking garage in Germany...not much room but good company.


These are some of the pics that I took on this outing in Amberg, Germany. I was taking my son to buy a suit for a Military Formal for JROTC.












TuV inspection pics while I was playing around with the settings on my camera.

So I tool the family on another European adventure to Dachau, Germany. Sounds familiar because it had one of the most terrible Concentration Camps in Germany. My older two sons and my wife went through the museum. They left before they could get all the way through after watching the videos of what happened there. We learned a lot about what really happened there. You don't REALLY know until you visit and find out from the source. It was actually a really beautiful day and it intrigued me because of how much anger and hate that was held at the very place that was so beautiful on the day that we were there. This is what I saw.





























I have been experimenting with my editing software to find one that I like. I have also been shooting all my pics in RAW so that I can edit everything about the pictures when I can't quite to get it right with the camera settings from the get go. Enjoy.

So today I spent the afternoon washing my car so that I could join a few of the Mustang guys in the area from our FaceBook group Autobahn Thunder on a cruise. We really didn't know specifically where we wanted to go but south was the chosen direction. We all met up and then chatted and introduced ourselves. After that we decided that we would head out to the autobahn and cruise down towards Regensburg which is about an hour away going a reasonable speed.

We ended up having to stop at a Parking area "Rest Stop" so that a couple of guys could urinate in the bushes and a very small pooch could as well. After we talked and enjoyed the scenery we decided that we would head to this place called "Walhala" which in English is Valhala. There was a exact replica of the Pantheon built by King Ludwig II in the 1800's. It's up on a huge hill that overlooks the Danube River. Then I had to leave and head back to the house. The rest of the group (4 other Mustangs) went to downtown to grab a bite to eat and then cruise back. I made it back in just over 40 minutes with an average speed of 115MPH. Didn't get passed once. Ha ha....love it.

Pictures to follow after I get off work tomorrow.

Here are the pictures from our cruise/sprint.

















Rest stop.



We seem to attract attention.



















The view was amazing.














What did you do all day? "I hung out at this Pantheon thing, looked at nature and smoked hookah with my friends". Not really but it must be rough having to do that.






Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

After much YouTube videos listening to exhaust options with my headphones on my head and the sound turned up I decided to invest in some Kooks axle back mufflers for my car. Should be here next week.

I ordered them from Hypermotive and couldn't be happier with the customer service. Thanks again to them. I'm going to make a video of the mufflers and take some pictures.

Nice! When are you going to do the headers and side pipes? Can't wait for the sound clip!

I have to save some money but hopefully will be able to do some suspension stuff this year as well. I'm heading to Italy this summer for a vacation in the Mustang so I have to have some mod restraint. LOL.

I'm going to remove the resonators and then do the Kooks BOSS H pipe and side pipes. Hopefully I can find some second hand. I am still debating LT's or Shorty's. I don't like the hollowness of the LT's. I have to get a tuner before the H pipe.

I got my Kooks axle backs in the mail from Jay at Hypermotive yesterday. Thanks for the awesome support after the mix up that happened. I installed them last night and got finished around 1030pm. I'm thankful that my son helped me out or there would have been a whole lot more cursing.

I will write a review in a few days when I have a little more time. So far I can't say how much I love them enough. So much that I have been driving with my window down and it's been in the lower 30's today.

Here's a short video I took today. I only rev'd to around 3500RPM. This weekend I will get a better one letting them rip.

No they are welded and polished. The whole thing is TIG welded. Very impressive quality. I'm glad I went with these.
