Was talking to marc about a g8gt that or a ctsv would be my "I wanna feel pimp" cars. g8 in my apartment complex, its sexy.

Id say there are at best....4 13second or faster cars in my complex, g8gt, ls1 camaro, lt1 camaro, gt500 The rest slammed civics that cant go over the speed bumps straight or else they removing the side skirts and exhaust. I always laugh when they wind out first around the parking lot and snag second, I think, I couldnt do that, Id be going to fast....

I saw a super nice newer Audi RS4 parked outside of a shitty apartment by the bank I used to work at in Des Moines. He did in fact live in the apartment. Apparently that guy had his priorities straight.

Also a guy with a newer Z06. Got $30k from a lawsuit and took out a huge loan on a brand new Z06 in 2010

Yay, cap and rotor replacement tomorrow. Ill get the post my orange coolant from the sludge in the block from previous owner mixing coolant Its better then it was but, no way ill ever get it clean with out hot dipping the block. I'm amazed the radiator never clogged.

Can't wait to have the camaro back, I ******* hate the f150 lol

Next step will be the ls1 20k mile 342 rear I picked up for 150 bucks. Just gotta swap axles and backing plates.

Either flip it and make some money or hold onto it until my buddy who has helped me out with a lot of stuff on my car and probably will in the future can buy it from me.

No, no, no. The tune automatically adjusts itself for the cold Iowa temperatures so the cold will cancel out me putting 87 octane in it and then when I load up 5 passengers it actually lowers my drag coefficient to .000000000001, so either way, I win

When I got the tune I paid extra for the accelerated tune settling app for my phone. Cost me like 50 bucks but its guaranteed to settle your tune 50% faster or money back. **** works man.
