Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

My wife, the smoothie-hollic has never been to a jambajuice. So I suggested we stop as it is a better alternative to most fast food and might be a good choice for her. I was excited to show her and while walking between 2 cars I had stepped on something loose and rolled my ankle so hard that I hit the ankle bone to the curb.

Wow level pain. What's more is I tweaked my bad knee. I'm really thankfully I do soccer stretches regularly and have strong legs and ankles.

Going to put the leg up, maybe some ice while I wait for the Aleve, aspirin, and Tylenol to kick in.

Maybe a little ibuprofen if it gets crazy.

Fawk

Ice ice baby :(

Yup.

Maybe hot tub tomorrow night and then ice it some more.

Epic man. When do you actually close?

Should be in by the end of November! Thinking about having a buddy move in to help out. I can afford it on my own but I don't think that I want to live by myself and I could live much "nicer" with some help.

Also I have made a personal commitment to be tobacco, alcohol, and fast food free for the next 14 days. I know to most people that is nothing but after I realized that I probably haven't been without all three for that long since I was 16 (9 years ago) I decided to go for it. My ultimate goal is to quit smoking, lose weight, and cut back on drinking.

Would like to see the full thing publically as some of us aren't in the RTMS.

J

Problem is part of it won't be public.  A demo and outline is different than the details, that will be shared.

Not completely.  One of three.  The logo and such is easily switched out.  The P car is the most likely though....we'll see if that changes today.

CTT. But, this would work for any vehicle.

I have a test drive setup today for an 06 CTTS.  It is super clean with 132k miles.  My goal is to see how it weathers age as I will be getting an 08 if I go this route.  The last high mileage ones I sat in/drove were beat to fuck and shit.  If this is like that I will cross it off the list.  I don't want to though, hoping it is okay.  I have the go ahead from my boss.  He is fine with me buying it out for $1 at the end of the lease and then getting a car. :)

Primary cat delete probably at the same time.

 

Yields 540HP+, 555ftlb+.  + due to the cat as I don't need the new primary's but instead can remove them.

Hope that they weather the aging okay as I really don't want an X5 or SRT8.

Going to need a custom enclosure or JL Stealthbox for it.  Not going to take the time to build that myself...but would pay someone on here.
