Ouch ... I was under the impression the postal service pays pretty good??
I sent a book out to someone on half.com the other day, and like 3 weeks after he bitched that he never got it, I got a letter from the post office. Included was the front address portion of the package, torn to shreds with an attached letter telling me that "this was found detached from your package. If you would like us to conduct a detailed investigation into this matter, please enclose xxxx dollars and mail the addressed envelope to blablabla address. We will attempt to have the matter solved as quickly as possible."
I was like, you lost my mail ... which was in YOUR packaging ... then you tell me if I want you to find it, to pay you MORE money .... and MAIL you a letter with a description of the item etc etc etc.
It's ridiculous ... just the same how UPS charges YOU extra money, so THEY won't lose your package. WTF is going on here. ???

We slow down for traffic, and when it gets clear we go again, right past a huge chevy crew cab truck with a trailer and a big reflective bowtie on the back. The stang was a good 5-6 car lengths back when we pass the truck WOT.
I'm sure I made the bowtie guy proud
And the best part was the mustang guy (complete with goofy blue bandanna on his head) had a girl in the passenger seat. Hopefully he was showing off for his girlfriend.
I actually enjoy it more when a person is a bitch afterwards. I'd much rather get a thumbs up but knowing he wants to cry after losing so bad is its own satisfaction
Is it wrong that I love ruining someone's day this much? He looked SO pissed after the first run

Yeah, that's why the "it's what for dinner" caption was added, 'cause we know it's slow...

Its too bad you are so far away.
I'm currently making 301 NA but should have my VT cams installed next week and hoping to pick up around 10. My car should go at worst a 12.9 with 301 and low 12s on the gas, so I hope by being so confident that you too have a poweradder. Fun Ford in Houston would be a good excuse for you to come down.....

Just saying what I trapped on the motor, and no, I dont have a power adder. Switching cams for 10 hp seems like a huge waste of money, unless you are getting them for REALLY cheap, plus labor unless you can do that yourself. I may/may not be in FFW Houston, will be at Ennis for sure though. You never answered my question, what do you trap on motor?
I didn't mean to be a *****, I just took it as I could spray you because you could hang. I was told I would gain 15rwhp on the new cams but its almost always less than advertised to I'd be happy with 10, and I can't say $599 was exactly cheap. My 1/4 mile times are only estimated, I haven't been to the track but will be going after the cam and direct port nitrous install. I'm hoping for mid 11s with a 150+ shot as the car sits.

I was trying to keep the VA workstudy job and school full time and work with the P.O. part time, but then that got real old real fast. I had NO time to do anything, even homework. So now the money is taking a bit of a pinch.
On another note, at least we race here in Texas. You just sit up in NY and surf the damn NET!
P.S. Sorry about the PO up in NY ******* up your mail. BELIEVE ME. Someone got their *** chewed for it. Not gonna tell you how I know, but I DO know.
