Jamie, do more research. Steven is nothing you mentioned. He's in his early 50's () likes long walks on the beach in the company of an indian man, flew blue angels and plays hockey so you already know he's a real man, has a type s TL as a daily and a Vette Stingray as a weekend car.


both, with stock wheels

Sorry about your dog RS! At least it's not something too detrimental. It still must suck for her though. I know what it feels like to wish you could stop a pets pain when you cant. I had the same dog from the Summer before I started first grade until my Senior year.

About the rims, don't get me wrong, I know what looks good. But, it's just that so many look good.. Kinda like women.

Hi Jamie!


As you can see my by my Press Agent's posting, I'm not your wheel whore.....carbon fiber, yes-but no wheel fetish from me.


By the way, my Press Agent forgot about being a world renowned radio disc jockey......I gotta pay that guy more money.

Steven, I just figured if you're the wheel guy, maybe you'd have a set I could take off your hands if you were interested. Maybe we can discuss it sometime when you get a break from beach walking with Indian men and flying jets.

My bad Steven! Somehow, I had you mixed up with Earl. I had Peyton Manning over for dinner last night, and he had me distracted and confused.

When I was at my old company, I worked from home every Friday.

This was also my first "big boy" job out of college. Talk about a perk. I had that, a reverse commute, and an easy-as-hell set of responsibilities.

Now I manage some people, do some harder stuff, and commute with the rest of the state towards DC. And I have to be here for five whole days every week. Oh the inhumanity.

Thanks for the sentiment, y'all...

Can't complain... been productive-ish. Sore from the gym last night. The 1-series is bitching at me for low tire pressure, thanks to the cold, but everything is still at ~30 psi so I ignored it last night. Should fill 'em back up after work today though.

Got some work to do on the cars this weekend, too. 128 gets all-seasons swapped on, TL needs oil/filters changed (and trans fluid, if I get that GM Synchromesh in time) and M3 is due for new power steering hoses (among a host of other things).

M3 is probably going to be ignored, but the other two will get addressed fo' sho. The TL is yapping about under 20% oil life, and he's about to take it home (650 mile round-trip) for Thanksgiving, so...
