Last time I talked to you, you said they were almost done with the truck, but wanted you to pay the rest up before they finish.... You didnt have the money for it yet, so thats why they havent finished it yet.

just got home from seeing Cloverfield....it was 'eehhh'

the WHOLE movie is shown on that videocamera... it was pretty short too, movie start time was 8pm and we were out of there about 9:45..

it focused too much on the people escaping vice what theyre escaping from.. you can hardly see the 'thing' they run from since its shown from a shaky camera

i was disappointed..

they do show it... a few times, one time its just his back side...then you see more, and so forth...

but remember the last godzilla movie? you saw ALOT of him, same with Jurrasic park and other movies like it... this one is more 'mysterious' so you dont see as much. and some of the times you do see it, its when the guy is running with the camera or something..

i hope they make a second one that is filmed different..

i went to autozone yesterday and bought a mini powerball and some polish for the ZR1s....which sucked.lol.

Does anyone have an angle finder I can borrow so I can put on the tq arm and adjust it properly?

I can do the tq arm myself...thats not a problem..

problem is, when you buy a tq arm from BMR, they give you an angle finder...the tq you got doesnt have it. So i need one to set the pinion angle.

And polishing wheels in general sucks. Its so much easier to wipe down chrome wheels.lol
