Well our Z06 and Cobra are about $1800/yr combined, both being a bit less than $900 each. Im 31 and my wife is 29 so its definitely not as expensive as most people think. We are insured with Wawanessa and have the most coverage you can buy and our collision deductible is $300. We switched from Nationwide to this one and saved almost $2K a year, my sister and parents also switched and both saved a lot of money.

Jay...You definitely have a fast car, I need my damn cooling mods, bap and injectors then I'll probably call Amazon to get a tune. Hopefully I'll break the 500 whp mark as well

Yes, have Rick do your tune. He even used my upshift light as a shift light, VERY helpful. How the hell do these posts stray so much? Does anybody have a good recipe for Banana Bread?

...hollar dawg

Hey Jamie, I will be out for a few around Federal or somewhere as usual as long as its not raining. I dont like to go out to Towers too much since orginized racing seems to be a bit risky these days. Its nice to drive for a 1/2 hour and get a race and go home with very little drama. Ill get with you and see if we can meetup. That would be fun.

That sounds cool man. Honestly, i'm not big into the whole "setup" for a street race thing either. It's nice when it just happens... I know. Just tonight, I got three phone calls to go out to the races in a not soo secret spot. No thanks. Besides being that I gotta work in the morning, I've got alot to loose as well....so....I pick and choose these things too bro.

No big deal.....whenever you want. Like you said, it'll be fun. I'm on a stock tire now,...and a stock clutch soo...i'm somewhat limited to rolls but, i'm pretty much down for whatever.

Like I said bro, whenever, no big deal.

Now, i'm not too sure about how to do the banana bread thing but...I could give you some pointes for hemp brownies. (now that were off topic)

Later man.





Jamie
