I hate being old...

I just remembered how our friend Josh use to Pull the young girls.... with the FD

Note to self....... Check e-bay for cheap FD

Cheap FD.......... who am I foolin

Note to self........ Keep FC and update ****

Final note to self........ Time for bed .. Big day tomorrow

Damn, I wanted to see the beard. Oh well, glad it worked out. I think Josh used to put a line of Skittles to the car though, IIRC, that helped. Definitely update the ****, the "fros" went out a long time ago, haha.

She just wants the 75% retirement pay, I just want to do something different! Ohwell...

I'm still just trying to figure out which branch I'm gonna retire from, haha. If we don't make Chief we're not gonna see 30, Keri doesn't seem to remember that part, haha.

I'm going to replace it myself since reading a writeup about it indicates that it's not as hard as I thought it would be. I'm going to try to read as much as I can about what I need and how to do this as to not waste anyone's time, but I may need resources. Resources such as ramps or some tools. Access to a shop with a lift would be ideal, but I'll take whatever. This will probably occur next week. Thanks.

Dude, swapping the DS is probably one of the easiest jobs. I don't know about the FC, but on the FD it's SUPER easy, even if you do have to drop the exhaust first. You're more than welcome to do the job at my place man, but you could probably do it in your parking lot with some jackstands and a few wrenches.

Oh yeah... we had a meet tonight. 3-1-3 as in FE-FD-FC if I recall. Was rather breezy, food was the same, we wondered how everyone was doing with cars and moving. Then Gary starts playing with his Star Trek Tricorder thingy and is reading posts on here.... where does he get all those cool toys? Anyways, sounds like just about everyone had one heck of a Saturday!

She's feeling better...just not good enough to head out of town yet. Plus we figured the T-storms would have rolled in by now and really didn't want to be on the road.

I'd say see ya at the next meet but, we're headed to VIR that weekend for the VIR 400 GT race!!! If anyone else thinking about going let me know maybe we could meet up somewhere. The GT race is on the 27th at 430pm. We're probably heading out about 11am from G-boro so we should be there by 1 or so.

Oh yeah, new rubber on the rear is nice. Wish I had gone ahead and done it to the front just for the fun of it but the rears were getting close to slicks hah! I think I can use at least one of them as a spare for Deals Gap like I planned. I'll prolly replace the front ones when I get back and use them as spares. Or.... since I have a whole set of extra rims maybe put something else on them.
Hrmmm....

Damn that looks like fun! I really wish I could have done that. I really need some "seat time" with the Turbo in situations like that.

Just need to convince them to have one on a Sunday the next time. Hopefully the small turnout this time will not deter any other events.

That and I want to do at least one HPDE this year with it. It's expensive but two days worth of track time is worth it. Especially if I can hook up with Steve at one where he is teaching.
