I'ma be out cruising today, tonight, and tomorrow, https://ls1tech.com/forums/northwest...e-weekend.html

Its probably gonna be one of the last times I drive her until the rainy season is over...My SS only has about 20k miles on her, lowered with OEM c6's, SLP LME, and lid. My plans are to slap a ms3 in her, and maybe some heads, that's if no one buys her from me for the price i'm asking. If she does sell, i'd buy a cheap f bod and build a 427 lsx for the streets.

Maybe when this state dries out next year, a cruise might be appropriate.
Any car events in the Portland/ Salem area or maybe even Medford?

I am in Eugene. Home of the Toyota Prius. Ever get behind a driver in a Prius?
They usually drive 5 to 10 mph below the speed limit. A friend and I think most of the owners once had VW vans.

Got a quick question for your central valley guys. Can anyone recommend someone to do a head swap on a LS1 F-Body? I am to damned old to crawl back and get those ground straps off the back of the heads.
