Just got caught up on 3 months of posts on here. Been pretty busy on my end. Finally got the car my wife wanted a black on black 06 GTO with a Auto. Prob going to stay pretty stock I have enough headache with the IROC which I haven't had in 6 months. Plus my schedule sucks and have no time for it but I really can't part with it. Maybe if the weather is nice this weekend I'll see you guys around.

Anybody want to head over to VMP this weekend for the test and tune? They are having it both days Saturday and Sunday. Thought maybe if anybody is interested we could meet somewhere in Hampton or Newport News and drive over and have a good day of racing and car bullshitting. Anybody interested let me know.

There is a place in Va Beach called Jenro's. That is where most people hang out at on Saturday afternoons.

Jenro's Address

1085 Independence Blvd, Va Beach

www.mapquest.com Can give you good directions.

Saturday Afternoons from 4-till when ever. Mostly April ~ October (and other nice Saturdays if weather is permitting)

The prices for Ford and GM and other automobile companies are low as **** right now... but they wont stay like that.

Kinda like home prices. Right now it sucks to try and sell a home because the market is ****, but its a good time to buy Im waiting to hear back about my bid on a short sale down here in the Tampa area. Was built in 2006 - 4 bed/2.5 bath/2 car garage two story home on a corner lot...paid 240k in 2006... Now its at 149k Once I hear back, its mine

^ Yes, but if you buy GM stock and GM files 11 you loose your money. If GM files 11 it could really hurt Ford.

It's all a gamble... I'm considering putting a grand into GM just to see... if they pull through it could be worth 50x in a few years.
