I've got a friend with a fairly nice house in lubbock, He's looking for a roomate for the next year cause his current one is a fricken lunatic... I'll give him a call and see if he is still looking...

I just put the last cover on the seats... exactly 1 year later, lol

I'm going to town tomorrow to get some more vinyl and adhesive to wrap all the interior panels and finish up the door panels (pain in the ***)

Welcome back! The roads aren't THAT bad, but they're not the best either. There are plenty of us that DD our LS1 cars without any issues, you just have to be watchful of small craters (AKA potholes) in the road and know the areas that get bad flooded when it rains.

thanks, whats wrong with tech lolthey have one of the strongest engineering departments in TX, my cousin graduated civil there and had a ton of job offers

the roads are not bad at all i drove my lt1 up there when i had my full exhuast and was lowered and i didnt really have any problems and i only had about 3-4 inches clearance on my headers, cars stock now except for still being lowered so i dont have any thing to worry about now, i cant wait to get up there and get this thing started so i can finish and get to work making some decent money

you do have to watch for the occasional ice on the road to

nothing per say wrong with it, I'm just not a fan. Engineering dept. is good. As I said, good choice going mechanical- it's ridiculously broad. I think that it makes you the most well-rounded of any engineering degree.

Have fun with that dry county....
