Picked up my new passport today, it has a chip, can we tune it with HP Tuners? :D

DDM Dave can increase and optimize the timing to allow you to pass through customs more quickly. Well worth the mod. Only costs $300!

Don't know if it has been stated or not, but I wont be able to make it this year. Too many things going on and the new project is gobbling up the cash, and the play money has been put to my best friend's bachelor party coming up in the spring as well.

I will miss everyone there, and I hope to make it out next year with my new toy.. Keep the camera streaming so I can watch! Hoping to catch another dark-tech moment on live feed! :lol:

Little Elff hands and big jeep wheel wells make plasti dipping easy. I say we put ihawks wheels on Elffs jeep and then plasti dip them!

Hawk-i,

The paper isn't for the wheels. It's for everything else you want to do. Index cards work great for the wheels.

Yup...that's why I said I'm not sure how ambitious I'm going to get with it yet.  The packing paper should work though.  I'll bring some.

I'll be down Saturday only. Will bring some tools, and a jack. I need to replace the gasket at the turbo on top of the engine.  Also want to change the diff fluid if I can buy some Royal Purple before Sat.

ATTENTION EVERYONE USING THE I-95 CORRIDOR THROUGH BALTIMORE

I-895 the Harbor Tunnel has been under construction for the past couple of months.  They are working on the bridge south of the toll booths.  The few times I have used it south bound it has not been an issue.  Northbound you can expect a serious delay.  Both Key Bridge and Ft. McHenry tunnel (I-95) are open.  I normally use the Ft. McHenry tunnel north bound and the Harbor tunnel south bound.

Do they still make knickers?

Body shop is pushing to finish the Car for Friday Afternoon.

I asked if there would be an issue going on a 4hr drive almost immediately after picking it up and they said they bake the finish and wax over it, so no worries.   Not all shops do this, so you sometimes have to be careful for a 2-4 week period and even avoid washing the car.

Keep your fingers crossed, it's going to be close!!!

Elff  he probably has Velcro and doesn't know how to tie shoe laces. However that joke might backfire on me.

Oh thank goodness. I was wondering whether I'd have to bring the truck or the car to pick you up. The car wins!

I was thinking he'd probably like to relax with a cocktail after his flight and a presumably harrowing ride from the airport, but I guess he can help you lift the table if you really insist.
