Saw this one at Joan Julio's in Woodbridge yesterday. While I was snapping a photo my friends noticed a wallet on the ground. Turned out it belonged to the owner that was eating in the same restaraunt. She was, needless to say, thrilled we found her wallat and returned it to her.

Today, well actually, yesterday, I washed all the tree sap and bug stuff off the car that it picked up during SMMM8. Rogue is now looking totally awesome!

Wife: What's in this box?
Me:  :idk:
Wife: UPS just dropped something off, did you order something else?
Me:  :idk:
Wife: What do you mean you don't know?  :mad:
Me:  :D
Wife: I just paid Visa off!  :mad:
Me:  :sorry:
Wife: OK, but don't order nothing else unless you ask me first!
Me: OK honey  :D

Moral of story, it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, and oh yeah...the used BC coilovers were just delivered  :yay: that I bought from a fellow forum member.

have a Dyno day scheduled for June 25th.  It won't be at the same place I got the car initially done, but at $55 for 3 pulls and free BBQ Lunch  I could not pass up

Also went to my dealer to see if I could get my Fender Mishap taken care of for free.
My Service Manager is honering his word.
I will get a free fender [NA to match the NA driver side]
and just have to give them the one I broke at the MM.


Note to self.  Make sure there is no oil on the jacking point.

Regarding chassis dyno prices; a forum member on the big board was asking about prices. Closest place that was recommended was 40 miles away and I was told $150 per hour.  So the question is, what's more common to charge per hour or to charge based on the amount of dyno pulls?  Seems like X amount of pulls would be the way to go, but maybe because no local shops have dyno's they can charge by any system they want.

really looking forward to see what the 2871 gives to your baby!!

the curve itself would be far more interesting than the max whp.
if it is possible, pls put the new dyno curve to the same sheet of the dyno you had with stock turbo to see the differences (granted the various differences that have been discussed so many times-dyno, temp, humidity etc etc).
