OK, since this thread has veered so far off course, I'm not sure what to label this;
A. How to guarantee you'll be spending your wedding night alone, or:
B: Why you shouldn't invite strippers wanna-bees to your wedding...
Watch the new brides' expression its priceless..

You say broken, I say dotted

The real question is why is it taking you so long to pass that Miata?

You got fresh salt?  Was it free too?

My truck is covered, I had to go out on Sunday.  Wife's car is clean.  The roads here where white with imbedded salt and dry as a bone on Monday morning.

Santa decided he wanted to be able to drain and refill coolant at home, and fabricated up something that should work using a manual vacuum pump by using an extra radiator cap, epoxy and a vacuum nipple.

Tested and confirmed that it seals against the coolant surge tank, but I have to be careful on how much vacuum pressure I let it go to so I don't boil the coolant.  Luckily, the pump has a gauge, and I believe that exceeding 7psi of vacuum could cause it to boil, or at least could cause water to boil at the ambient temperature.

LV Front Engine Brace, Foglights, snow, and salt. Waiting on the New Year for new light bulbs, DDM Engine Brace, and DDM Stage 1 Brake Package. I also picked up the GM Performance Jack and jack stands (4) on sale, almost forgot.

Not a bad KAPPA Christmas! Wish it could of been more.

Just been keeping my Solstice salt free and that's difficult to do...

according to Greek (actually christian orthodox) tradition, Santa Clause (called Saint Bill) comes the first day of the new year.
sooooo, the first days of new year, i have asked Santa to send me a DDM OCC. Santa's assistant, called Dave  :lol:, was kind enough to give iliasGT and me, the first batch discounted price, although we wanted to order them and delivered the new year.  :yay:

Congrats Kelu!!!!

The kappa has received lots of love over the past 2 years, so no Christmas presents, but it does have a new rear bumper
and a freshly painted front bumper and other fine parts.

I did get
NEED FOR SPEED
for the PS3, so I have been driving like a madman in the virtual world

I picked up an Escort Redline, and my amazing girlfriend got me tints with a shop I know does great work.  It was a good year for the Sky RL CFSE.
