Default Carbondale Aurora

I'm going to be in Carbondale tomorrow with my car (finally) if anybody wants to hook up and cruise around or something. I should be there until Friday and then Tuesday I will be in Aurora with the same offer. Somebody keep me company.

Pretty good; the car is much more fun to drive now. I'm lovin it. That and the duals made it a totally different car. Just freaking scary. Now all I need is a H/C package.
