Each unto his own, I suppose.

Best of luck with your build. Those Lightnings are sharp trucks. You ever take it out to Bass Pro? When I lived in Newport News, I used to head out there every Saturday. Since we moved down here to NC, I did not go this past summer.


I am installing my heads. I hope to have the pistons cut tomorrow and then will start the re-assembly.

Well unfortunatley because of the weather, not too many spots are "popping".... When the weather gets warmer, Bass Pro in Hampton is always packed on Saturdays. Its actually only about 15min from ***.

Whats done to your car?

Nope.... I pay $1220 now and the car doesn't fit. Damn garages are small all over. The places I'm looking at now are $13-1400. Unless u want to love on the other side of the water and fight the hellish traffic even some apartments are close to, if not over $1K



Damn flghts delayed again
another 2 hrs. Man I'm going to hate this red eye. At least they bumpednus up from economy.

Made out like a bandit for x-mas. 2 column jackets, 11 James Bond movies, plus super bad and pirates 3. A 300 Win Mag from my grandpa and a 9mm pistol from my dad.
Sean is my dog ok LOL
