Is it ever going to warm up at all!!! I have so much to do to my car it's not even funny! I just purchased all ebony interior to put in my car. I have to put in my new clutch, get my GMMG exhaust on, still waiting on my custom made TTII rear wheels, get them painted, paint my cage black instead of orange, etc.............
I will be selling my tan interior out of my car, let me know if anyone needs anything.

Hope everyone had a Happy Holidays. I think I drank enough alcohol on the 30th and 31st to tide me over for a long time, haha.

It is supposed to be in the 40's this weekend. Did you guys still plan on helping me with my installs? We need to figure out another date when everyone can make it and the car can come out. If only mid March/April could come sooner.

Kinda excited for some warmer weather. Gives me some time to get the GMMG exhaust off and get ready to sell it.

I don't have cats anymore, and I really want a change. Also, about a year ago, I was driving it, and it a manhole cover with the cutout, It tore up the intermediate pipe. I contacted GMMG and got a new intermediate pipe. Well, I went to install it, and I don't know if it is the over the axle pipe or what, but i just can't get the tips to sit right, they are always facing the ground. I dicked with it for about an hour one day, and got it a little better but I have always had exhaust issues, and I am done fighting this car with exhaust. So I'm thinking magnaflow. The gmmg is prolly ok, Its like I can't get the intermediate pipe to go in the over the axle pipe far enough or something. I don't know, Just tired of dicking with it.

Still can't believe you got rid of that Nova. I saw it at Porky's once.

If anyone is interested in the GMMG, let me know and I can show you the issue with it. Plus I'll make you a helluva deal on it.

I've been married for almost 4 years, buying Bogarts recently was the first real "cross eyed" look I have gotten for buying car stuff.
My fiancé is pretty good about it all. Work hard for the money, so she lets me spend it pretty well. It will change, it's inevitable, but I don’t see it getting out of hand. Wont be able to play quite as hard, but that’s why I played hard before that. Got my car sitting well, besides a new rear, all the other modifications can come at pace and are a huge bank breaker until I get everything changed. Im looking for a new bike I think first. Car is already plenty for the streets, will need to get to a track to justify more mods.

Oh god I drank too much this past week I had off. The New Years, WOW. Went to a Mexican Restraurant (and bar)back home Okoboji and they had dollar Corona's! Not a huge Corona Fan, but for a buck I was a HUGE Corona Fan. That started the night off early, 8 or so. Then we hit the bars later....Remember everythign which kicks ***, but damn, lots and lots of beer and liqour...

We can do the install yet, your eager for that install? You know you will Jinx us all again and we will get a huge snowfall. Seems when you try to get the snow removal stuff moved out and the toys in, it goes and ***** on you. IF we do the install and it snows again like it did, I will have your ***.....

I have an LS6 intake, electric cutout motor, and LCA relocation brackets that need installed.

Trevor, not really eager since I can't really drive the car much now, but I just figure it would be better to get them installed before the car comes out in the spring. That way I (and you guys who are helping me) wont have to mess with it then. It really makes no difference to me though. Whenever people are free and want to help would work out just great. Hopefully we can plan it according to the weather this time and if we can't, then it will have to wait until the spring.

M6WS6, I want to see your car. Make sure you come out this spring and show that off. It would be nice to see some more modded F-bodies around.

Jason, make sure you post up some pics of those ugly wheels. They actually might make your car LOOK fast!

You know I will be there.....to supervise, haha. I owe you anyway man. I will be more than happy to lend a helping hand wherever I can. Good learning experience as well. We still need to set up a time to get my **** installed as well.
