Default Just checking in.........

Well I'm out in the stage. I'm actually in Germany right now! He he he, but I'm working so much that I don't have the time to do anything. I'm in Germany and can't even go downtown to have a beer..........WTF?? Well I guess it could be worse.......it just sucks being here and not being able to enjoy it.

Anyway, all is well! We are working 12-18 hour days 7 days a week. But we should get some time off. I took some pictures of us on the plane coming over here, but have yet to take any while we have been here. It has been snowing in Germany since I arrived mixing that in with long drives to and from work make it a bitch!

We have been told we should start to get some time off when the flying slows down a bit (shich supposedly is going to happen) and then I can have some time to catch up on sleep and maybe, just maybe get out and see some ****. I'll definately be taking some pictures for you guys..........so more to come on that!

this country is so beautiful, yet resembles washington in many ways. The weather is very similar! But the roads are tiny as are the vehicles. I have seen lots and lots of mustangs, but only one C5 Corvette and one gen 4 Camaro (Z28). Both on the installation...............go figure! The driving is insane over here and the cars zip around these tiny *** streets like there in the daytona 500. Crazy *** people!!

I'll be dropping in everynow and then to keep in touch. I'll see you all in a few months...........take care!

Oh and Cindy told me that she's doing something to my car while I'm gone, supposed to be a present! I told her not to do anything to it, that I haven't already planned. Basically telling her the only things she can do is the cage, strut brace or nitrous.................she told me it was already in the works too. So make sure she don't get bum parts or shitty stuff. If you can direct her to the right stuff, I would greatly appreciate it. For example, I don't want to come home to a nitrous system that is rated at the motor and not the wheels or have a cage that don't meet the NHRA requirements..........that kind of crap.

Again, I'll be dropping on by when I can......

Jon, Jon, Jon, Cindy wants to mod your car & you said NO?! What were you thinking?

Think about that for a second...........

What if Linda was doing this? And say she went out and got you an STS turbo! yeah, it would be nice, but is that what you really wanted?

I just don't want to come home to a Lifted Pink Vette with spinners, an LT1 and an STS!

God bless Cindy, and I'm confident in her decision ablilities, but you all know way more than her. And I know she will seek guidance!

Oh and by the way...........it is snowing very hard here! Unfortunately I don't have my camera. If I can get out of here early, I'll get some pictures from the Hotel.

Default Oh Mark.......

BTW, I want to know how well those tires hook, and the size?

Do they make a size that would fit my 17x11's?

And do you think I could do a 5K clutch dump on them and be able to hook up?

I'm very interested in the ability of those Hoosiers..............they look great too!

I'd be willing to bet she is doing something you have already told her you wanted. That is all I would do.

Hey Jon, I'm glad to hear your doing good.

Uh oh, I don't, I'd never let my girl touch the Vette. Your going to end coming back, and have pink and black Vette Essential seats installed.

Have Cindy get her own sig. Then if she has questions she could PM people and still keep it a surprise from you.
I'd like to hear from her now and then.
