lol... I will never get enough of your dumb comments Don... So since you stareted, I will stoop to your already rediculously low level:
How's your T-cell count lately... I heard you cought "something" from your "buddy"

To all those who are not douchebags [ie. Don]

Didn't realise this thread is still alive

Since the car was done, I have been going nuts! Shortly before it was done I bought a condo with my GF, around the time it was done, I was in the middle of a war with the contractor who was gutting and rebuilding the interior. I had to go there every day after work for hours to make sure it was being done right and had little or no time for anything else. We moved in late November and around that time I found out that my old faithful clutch with over 100+ passes would not longer be able to keep up... shocker I know. Also found out that the truck wires I had hoped would be a good fit for the taller valve covers were too long, and burned on the headers over time. I was out of money and out of time to race in the fall. Made me want to So the car sat in my parent's garage all winter.

Couple all of that with trying to study for the Architect Registration Exam and this setup could not have been completed at a worse time.

Car now has a Monster 11" race clutch. I have been driving it to work last few weeks trying to get to about 500 break in miles that Monster asks for. But with 17 mile commute and only on nice weather days, its taking a while. I wanted to take a few passes this past weekend at the QTP EFI event but it was called for rain, even though the rain stoped at 9.30 am lol Oh well.

If the weather holds out, I want to make a few passes before it gets back to being way to hot to enjoy myself at the track.

Honestly, I am not expecting much, I have not raced in a long time and am no doubt rusty as hell. Plus, the only tires I have are the ones I ran in Dec of 2007, so who knows if they are still good. I don't want to buy new tires only to have them be 6 months old when the real good air comes. Just don't have the money to buy 2 sets of a tires/year anymore. This mortgage thing sucks! lol

I have been trying to sell my 10.32 H/C but even with a lot of interest, no one has bought them. Had I sold them earlier, I may have been able to gett he car to one of the last rentals in the fall, but it was not to be.

Car feels awesome on the way to work tho lol.

No no, no need to defend me on that one lol. As much as I hope Don gets Herpies on his AIDS, part of his comment is right. Jr Architects get paid **** lol.

The other part, not so much seeing as how the car runs just fine...

OK now is where he comes back in and gets to insert some more dumb comments and tell everyone your motor blew apart. Who knows maybe he will bless us all with another assoholic proverb he will drum up.

LOL

The only good sub was the Electrician! lol Had to fix a lot of stuff afterwords and the GC forfitted his last payment because he was such a screw up.

One example: I gave him detailed plans, thats what I do. For a 948sf condo he had 9 24x36 sheets of plans, details, electrical wiring plan, lighting, even a finish plan to tell him which paint goes where and so on. I come in after the demo, and I see new sheetrock, on a wall that was supposed to be REMOVED! Thats what I had to deal with from July to November lol.

Almost as many times as the Karposi's Sarcoma had pooped up on your face from the little gift your boyfriend gave you.

CUTE...

Kinda like you sit and spin on your boyfriends c....

Dude, you are so sad... I honestly feel sad for you. Its like watching a slug that got ran over by a bicycle. Shell broken, helplessly thrashing about as it dries out in the sun. A sight like that would instantly make me thing of you and feel sad for your pitiful existance... it must be sad... right? sigh...

Buying our second house is what got me out of drag racing. It wasn't even money, it was time. The house is 3400+ sqft on 2/3 acre and was only 4 y/o when we bought it. An old widdow lived in the house since new, and she considered it new even after 4 years. Problem was, she didn't do ANY maintenance at all. To the extreme that all of the upstairs recessed lighting and closet lights were out. The inspector thought it was electrical issues as EVERY light couldn't be burnt out, but they most certaily were. We literally had to buy over $800 in light bulbs. Soon after we moved in, the hot water heater went because she never purged it as we have hard water. You know what it's like replacing a 70 gallon water heater???

Anyways, best of luck with the new place. I still go back and forth, bigger motor or wet bar in the basement... decisions decisions.
