Default Won't make it to LTX shootout

Well lookslike I won't make it to the LTX shootout guys seems I'll ne here in Iraq until the end of August, there is no way I could come home after a year kiss the wife and prep the car and head to the event in a reasonable time

I don't even want to think about the repurcussions I would endure from the wife for that one

But on another note I came down for orders for Germany (Bramberg) so were just gonna prep the TA for that. Report date 10 Feb.

Larry hope ya guys ship APO

Sorry to hear that man. Like you said though the wife should come before the car, no matter how much fun it is haha. Also thank you for serving in the military.

Yeah I wasn't able to come home for mid-tour (had to give the slot to one of my troops) I can't wait to get back, by now she is all painted up and ready to go. I have to find a way to quite my exhaust though because you can't be over 98d's at 3k rpm's so I may have to change my exhaust.

I was planning on having Larry put the 24x system on my car but after some serious thought I may wait and do a LS swap in the future, this motor I have now has less than 5k on it so it should last until I get back and then we will see.

does your wife already know about the shootout? if not just tell her you want to go on a road trip w/ her. then be like "wow! an LT1 shoot out? whats the chances of running across one of those, we've gotta stop!"
and thanks for serving!

Roger's putting it in the shop tomorrow to paint should be done in a week or so, I'll have pictures posted as soon as he sends them. Roger should be there though...of course he's a LSX guy now but we won't hold that against him lol.
