Get the money and call me when you make it to Detroit. Sly, be carful in Detroit, its a totally different town than your use to.

By the way, give a BIG "GO GREEN" when you see the locals wearing UM clothing for me

Hava a safe trip.

lol thanks man, also a big thanks to you, Angie and Leahn (sp) for going with me half way to Atlanta. Even tho Angie and Leahn (sp) didn't go they still get a thanks for letting you go lol. I know it's much bigger than here, but I doubt it's bigger than where I'm from in Texas, thing I have to get used to is the Yankees lol (no offense to anyone), I'll be in and out of there quick.

No offense????IT'S THE YANKEES!!! Hell, I was born as a yankee . Its not so bad if you stay out of the bad areas.

Though on a bright spot.....Keep your eyes open for some of the greatest GM power there is on the planet. Big Block muscle is all to common in and around Detroit. You will have to do a search and find out were the most popular cruising strip is on the planet. I can't remember the name, but its near the City. I have heard it is a one in a lifetime experience.

Let us know if you see a 5th gen on the by ways.

Be safe!!

I'll definately keep my camera phone ready for action while I'm up there! lol if you didn't have anything better to do I'd say lets go hit up some of these places up there but unfortunately I don't have the extra $ laying around for another plane ticket lol

Let me do a search for the area where they cruise the hot rods. If I were you, I would try to check it out. I have heard its something people come from 1000's miles away just to experience it with their car.

I'll chime in shortly.

Yeah I wish it were a crew but can't find one in the price range I'm looking for, well at least not a 4x4 one, I found an 02 that was pretty sweet but I want the 4x4.

You should post up some good bye pics. That engine bay shows the signs of a gifted engineer. I have engineered a few things on my ride as well but know one likes them Really though that car was sick as hell.

Sweet, glad to hear you two are planning to come. I think you're supposed to mail it back, but Jennifer handles all that stuff (man, I'm on top of things, LOL).

lol thanks man, I thought it was pretty slick too. I wish I still had those pics, I put them on my web server and then close my account a few months later because I didn't really need it thinking I had the pics on my computer thus they got deleted. So if anyone saved those pics or anything please lemme know I'd like to get copies of them back. What kind of things have you engineered?


Josh: Ok we'll mail it in when I get back from Detroit. Hows that car running, is it ready for the track yet?
