    Maybe a left over from drinking Gatorade Vodka's during indoor soccer games in high school. Nothing like getting drunk while you exercise

    The gatorade won't work so well...

    Your stuck with Beam and Coke from that list, unless you can pull some fruit juice out of the fridge in which case you could do 2oz Beam, 3-4oz juice, and 1.5oz Fresca. I wouldn't use a watery juice like a Cranberry but something with some body like Orange or even better if it is one of those exotic in the carton types.

    Equal parts is just fine. You could always use a little more Vodka to stiffen it up, but nonetheless Blk Russians are good. How much Beam do you have? Mixers?

    The girlies would like it then too.

    You can add cream if you like as well. Then it becomes a white rasberry russian.

    I recommend a chit ton of ice... I should put this in the quotes thread, but "its the clink that makes the drink" are words to live by when mixing cocktails. I tend to prefer shorts as well, I'd rather have 15 shorts than 4 big uns as you can imagine what the end of the glass would taste like. Plus with smaller ones you really can't keep track so you keep going and going.

    Black Russian = Vodka and Kahlua, adding Rasberry would make it a Rasberry one...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    If Kahlua were chocolate and not coffee I'd agree completely. Even though a Rasberry black russian might be fine too.

    whatchu got for liquids i need to finish off some Jim Beam, some raspberry vodka, some Kahlua, and some white wine I wouldn't mix all those together, that would be one heck of a cocktail.

    Well no duh 190hp FTL ! Wanna race dalucifer...lol Funny thing it was their Premium car. I had a full sized reserved and they wanted $30 extra a day for the Charger instead of a ToreAss. After me saying meh a few times they gave it to me for free, imagine that. Must have been out of ToreAss's. I am not sure it is an upgrade though.

    I started fabricating a box, that fits under the rear seat. I had a couple goals here. The first being to hide the sub and amplifier and the second to give me a little storage for jumper cables, a tow rope, and a few other necessities to have in a PU. For this reason, I decided to put the sub on the passengers side so that I could get to the tool storage from the drivers. Here is the frame roughed in, I used a compass to trace the hump onto the wood and free-handed it out with a router.

    The rear doors I did very similar to the fronts. Just 2.5 layers on the outer skin, and I put Ensolite over the stock speaker as well. No rear stage necessary or desired for me. Step 4

    In the pictures of the door you can see the non-hardening modeling clay that I used to isolate the speaker from the door. There area a few mm of clay both on the door side and on the speaker side. The baffle is then covered with clay to add some mass and insure a good seal. I simply used a piece of

    Once I had confidence in the outer door skin being effectively deadened I attacked the inside skin. First, wherever I could reach I applied Raamat back of the inner skin. Then to help seal up the door, I used some poly sheeting screwed to the doors across the top of the large holes. It is screwed and siliconed to help seal the holes. On top of this the door received the same treatment as the interior of the vehicle. A couple layers of mat in key locations completely covered by Ensolite.

    And a shot of where the new mids will go. Since the Raamat takes care of structure borne noise, I also applied a few layers of Ensolite to take care of the airborne noise. Here you can also see the test fit of my

    You can also see the 3M acoustic insulation I used to knock down acoustic energy that is transmitted inside the strucutural parts of the car. Here is a close up of the rear column from the inside and you can see the white insulation is stuffed thoroughly in the channel. I mimicked this in any locations that I could get to as well as any areas that wouldn

    Step 1 -- wiring: I had to upgrade that funky GM wiring. For wiring, I used a local welding supply company. I brought some 20ga wire that I had cut to the right size and had them make me the appropriate 1/0 cables with ends. Total cost to me: $22
