:rofl: I was actually referring to myself. I put all the handling upgrades on the car that I could and it's made what I think is a big difference. To drive on the street...

I'm a wanna be racer.    :rofl:

I installed new GM rotors and new CarboTech pads yesterday. And got halfway done with that other thing I mentioned.

Hope to finish tonight, and write up about it tomorrow.

Received the used GXP bumper via Greyhound for our NA.  Then trial fitted the recessed grills I bought from Aftershock about two years ago, still like how those suckers look.  Wish I could find a place that could chrome them but not really sure what Rudy used for the composite, probably will end up having them painted a bright metallic silver. 

Plus I got my Evilbay coupe watch yesterday, not exactly a Rolex But I'm glad someone decided to make these available to our coupe owners plus I know it will add thousands to it's million dollar value    :kwh:

Re-installed my WR and watched a video of me haulingg miss canal days queen down the parade route. Big parade is this coming weekend :) hope to get someone awesome!

If you are curious who it will be, I will prolly post a pic to fb with my car and the sign on the side. Could be Deion Sanders or Shannon Sharpe. Or could be the waste management (trash co) mascot. You never know!

Like you would know if you got someone awesome!   :poke:

Remember...2 Things - Should you happen to get someone awesome and figure it out... like Shannon Sharpe, Deion Sanders, Kurt Warner, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Tiki Barber, Emmitt Smith, etc.  I need to know which teams they think will be hot this year (Philly is stacked!), and Fantasy Player recommendations.  K! Thx! :)

iHawk,

For fantasy player recommendations, I'd ask SHiNY.  She has more fantasies than anyone else, so she would know.
As for the teams that will be good, just pick the team from Iowa.
Make the right choices now

Hey yeah...I'll pick the...oh wait.  Dammit.

The Eagles and Jets should be good.  Every other team is so messed up with all the trading that's been going on, I have no clue what's going to happen.

I'll talk to Shiny...she can help me with both fantasy teams!

Miller is my back-up plan!  Please get a great player in the parade!  Please!  If it were me in the parade...I know I would!  If I was even a spectator for that parade, then I know Miller would.  :)

Good info to know!  Mine is getting closer to 6 years and I haven't replaced mine yet!  We have almost the same mileage!  I'm at 55K.

I'm still on my original battery.  Not sure how, but there is no way it'll make it through the winter.  That's next on the replacement list.

I'm super pickey on wiper performance, and I drive in all weather, and park outside. Even with the most expensive blades I tend to need new ones slightly more often than every year, maybe every 9 months.

Blades last as most of these cars are not seeing UV rays. My car sees mostly winter driving, mostly on the motorcycle, but is garaged and on original wipers since 04/06.

Finally finished installing and fixing some minor problems with a DDM 2871 turbo and DevilsOwn meth kit. :yay: The turbo install itself whent very smoothly, the kit is not at all hard to put in. I just happend to run into some shipping and problems with my old BOV, but now its running great. The power from the new parts is truly CRAZY. I highly reccomend this kit, and would like to thank everyone at DDM for their help, as well as everyone on the forum for helping me out with info.
here are some pics...
