The only thing I really need right now is a blue passenger side fender or front bumper, but i'm broke until my unemployment comes in (got laid-off from the relay center). I'd do some chores yardwork or etc in trade if you had them.

If you like Gran Turismo you should come by and race sometime.
I saw you at Save Mart the other day then, Think I was driving the vette, I live on briggsmore so keep your eyes open!

You are welcome to stop by and help me drop the motor into my first gen if you like haha although I can't afford to pay you But you can look through my parts car. The 1st gen's been a long project but it's been coming along recently. Body work is almost done thanks to my two week vacation from work. But now i'm back at work grrr..

Haven't played gran turismo in like 7 years. Only play forza now days.

Yeah, that was probably me buying a sub and a rockstar. I'm down to help with the engine just give me a ring. I think i'm free this weekend. You don't have to pay me, but i'd be happy to receive some advice on some bent body panels.

Yeah, I worked there 5 years ago when it was GC Services and just recently when it was Verizon before it got bought out by Stellar Nordia. The job was bittersweet as you pretty much sat on your *** all day drinking coffee, checking out chicks, bullshitting, and reading magazines only to have all that interrupted by having to call some girl and tell her she was "a **** eating *** ****". I can't really go into specifics as you know and can probably relate to.

I'm going up to that Tracy Tarmac Thunder thing on Sunday if you want to roll with me.

Hey Rob,

I did some searching, turns out there are some minor differences between the gsl-se transmission and the s4 tranny. But a simple fix. The tail housing on the FC transmission is just a smidge longer and the speedo gear is different. So I just swapped the tail housings and the speedo gear and presto it will now mount straight to the car. Took me about an hour but coulda been done faster since I was being **** about cleaning everything. I put the oil pan on as well so the motor is ready to go in. I was working at getting the harness out of the FC so I can start the wiring process which looks to be a bigger task than I originally imagined but i'm going to do some more searching.

Del Puerto Canyon would be a good cruise. Starts in Patterson and ends up in Livermore.

Think I might do that. Thinking a cruise and BBQ or something. Going to have to take a drive on that road and check it out. Anyone else got any input?

It's a long drive. Lots of curves and cliffs, and I think there's some sort of cafe/bar halfway down to eat at. I'd be down at the beginning of next month since I have to fix my leaky waterpump (still. lot's of crap going on with me right now). There's also In N Out burger up on Pleasanton.

BTW I got Forza 2 now and we're working on a live account.

I was kinda iffy on it when I got it, and then I won some races and bought some mods for my cars so they don't drive like complete *** anymore. I don't drive with any traction control or stability management so I'm still working on keeping the tail planted in the corners. We'll probably get a gold account next month when I move out of my old place and move the clearwire over here.

Btw, don't get clearwire.
