Probably be about 2 months from now.
Holes don't bother me, on my side of town they take care of the streets.

I'm sure as the weather gets better over the next month or so, we'll figure out a time to get out there...

I am always down to kick a few back. I need to get out of the house more. Might be kind of tough to make it to all the cruise nights this summer with a little Andy running around here shortly!

No thanks on Hooters, but otherwise I'd be in for some hoops in hops.



BTW, if anyone needs some detailing done, let me know....I have a few appointments set up, so that means spring is pretty close.

How about dropping a tranny Jason ? I have a feeling Dave and I will be tackling that task to see why my clutch peddle vibrates and feels like garbage. Also need to figure out why my car doesn't like to idle on hot starts. After I got it tuned this past summer it was fine for a couple of days then went back to having idle issues. The joys of owning a modded Fbody.

If there's BWW I'm down! I went to Prevettes and got some detailing supplies this week. I really like the polish, glaze and liquid wax I picked up. So far I have a front fender, door, hood and wing done after 5 hours. New headlights, turbo, injectors and some corn Might be gettin a GTO as well and go the Unstang route haha Gonna be a good year.

I buy some stuff from Rick too, for the most part I like it & it is nice to spend some cash locally.

I like the GTO, it is a good driver, I'd like to make some changes to mine, but I don't see that happening...too much $ spent on the Mustang project.


Andy, no thanks on the trans work!

Weather is starting to look really promising and most of the salt is off the roads. Gotta do some powder coating, some fuel stuff, bolt the turbo on and get tuned. Little juice too

How's all that snow doing?

I bet nobody would have believed a month ago that all of the snow would be gone by now. That melted fast, I have no snow left at all!!!! Weather looks to be nice this week, I plan on driving my car. Going to give it a bath first since its been since last September.

yeah all my snow is gone too. I started my gassy pig yesterday. I hope that mother nature doesn't play that nasty trick on us and throw us a late march ice/snow storm.

Nice to see the ground again! My grass is smashed...I hand washed the gto in the driveway & broke out the new bbq smoker that I got for Christmas yesterday.

Definately feeling like spring outside and nice to see some grass again!

BTW if anybody knows anybody looking for a set of wheels, I have my Z06's up for sale. Would like to sell them locally if I could.
