that sir... looks like a truck. It looks really classy, accept for the whole GM thing. I'm just jelous. Those are just about the classiest rims you can put on a truck. I am partial to totaly black rims too though. I would like to put 5 inches or so on the expy, but it probably won't happen. Maybe just some nicer rims and tires. I have been keeping my eye out for a forced induction system for it... One companyt is looking for a donor ford frame for a turbo set up. That would be pretty nifty.... I have way too many projects going on now though. I'll probably just order a tuning chip and be happy. I wish I had a 5.4 3v or 4v. So limited with the 2v.

indeed, happy bday. hope you get to have some fun for yourself!

Car buying for the loss. I'll just wait it out. Buy a cayman in a year or 2. =P

Didn't mean to call you a dirty rotten scoundrell or anything similar. just frustrated. I really thought I was going to have myself a new car in the garage for a while there. We talked a lot more last night, and the funds are just going to go into some investments, and maybe buy another property. Heck, I could get 3 homes for the cost of that car over Norf side. =) I just needed to vent. The wife and I thought we found a compromise, especialy with the truck not up and running right now. On another not so positive car note, I went to buy the S6 today and the puckers had a sold sign in the window. Some jakalope from IL is coming on Saturday to pick it up. DOH!! I have totally given up. All the car buying joy is gone. I know if a buy a car right now, I will just look at it with bad memories. If I need a car toy fix, I'll just buy something for the truck... or maybe just finish my projects. I STILL haven't put in the fi q the hybrid 8's, or run any wires for amps. And have more to deaden too. =P

Sean, I know you said they are a decent dealer but I officialy HATE Sears auto. They have done me dirty 2 times now on that E55 there. I test drove a black one last night, with the wife, and holly chit did I get the run around. Last time I came in about that car I told the guy my price, he said no way, then called me the next day. I come in last night and ask for just a bit under(2,500) what I was offered in a voice mail from the jack ass from last time. And they guy comes down and says "Oh no way, they want MUCH MORE." I told him BS I was offerd it for only 2500 more just last month. I nearly lost it, as this time I brought the wife in to seriously look at the car. It's been there 8 months chewing up their invintory dollars. Now they have 2 nearly identical e55's on the lot. Really smooth. I give up. MN dealers have sucked every bit of enjoyment out of looking for a new car. The wife is going to drive hers untill it dies, and I am just going to toss money into keeping my truck alive and fun. I was *so* mad.

Just knew some ladies from up north from my younger days of going up there. They lived WAY the hell of the beaten path. My mom had a time share in breezy point. Now I have it. Not really a fan of it anymore, but they are hard to sell.

come on up! Minneapolis is great. Plenty of fine establishments for drinking fine beverages too.

and what country are you in today??? In Japan, Yokohama actually. Just had dinner with a student that lived with us for a year. Crazy reconnecting with a foreign exchange student 23 years later. I'm so jelous. I would love to be able to go around the world for work, even though it's exhausting, I love seeing other places. I feel so sheltered having only been to a few places in the US. It amazes me though much more when I meet people who think going to Nisswa is going into the "big city" and thats about the farthest out they have been too.

all these projects.... now my truck is having acceleration issues. i want a do over on the past few years

fuggin a right mang

You need to buy that.

Sounds like things are coming together. Nice work Have to show me the results. I shall post them when I get more done. I never heard, how did the chromesome lottery turn out for you?

Bah, big suspension, and lots of towing power FTW.

Thank god I jumped the last week or 2. I got my hot little hands on DPMS .308 just the other week. Only a 16 inch, but quite a bit of fun.

Looks like the guy I was buying the lift from is just selling the entire truck instead . Which sucks because there isn't any chance I'm going to find a deal like that again, Lift, traction bars, wheels, tires, front diff, half shafts, hubs for $1500 all was used of course but I had already met the guy and checked out the lift and everything... That SUcks mang. sounds like it would have been a hell of a deal.

I fuggin miss the HOP. Stupid work. SAHWEEEEEET!!! I was just shopping for a good deal on a QSC PLX3602 and Swooped on a miss-priced plx3102 for half the price of the 3602. I will pick it up from a store tonight. Overal there will be a 25% loss of power, but I'm not too mad. I think it will power my 2 brand new sexy Mael-x's juuuuust fine. My home theater is almost finished! After the flood in the basment the drama of the dousche bag room renter moving out and STILL remodeling the kitchen... It's good to see at least one project getting close to some form of a milestone. Of course then comes a permamnent PJ mount and to calibrate everything.... This summer will be crazy. Grading the yad. Fixing both of our concrete ponds, and tossing in 3-4 gardens and some shrubs. I won't have enough cash for a vacation after the wedding at this rate! Have to refinish my whole cabinet set up in the kitchen too. I've never had experience with wood working handy man type things, but I'll have to learn PDQ. That's how my life has been. I hope your lifes are going great too! I hope all of you crazy folks are great. Sean you work too hard, but thats a good thing.. Mkader, you are finaly putting a lift on your truck? Much better. Finaly some proper upgrades! =P Hope to drop in some time soon. Ciao.

My life has been NUTS Remodeling the kitchen, added another 50 square feet or so total, and whil in the middle one of our roomates flooded the basement. Much drama insued. She turned out to be a nut bar. It's pretty much sucky. But otherwise life is good. New appliances all around. Just got 2 new subs for the HT. Some sexy mal-x's Can't wait to get onto that project. Again hope everyone is well Ciao!
