+1 on all that, I like the overcast days too, sunset can be a pain too though and I don't get up early enough for morning photos

My girlfriend finally said something about me being lower! haha

I was like, "yes...I lowered it like 2 weeks ago"

My pictures really do it no justice. It looks like an inch gap when it's really like a little under 1/2".

You can DEFINITELY tell you lowered it more, but her attention to car detail is probably about as good as Betty's. I think if it's car related she avoids it subconsciously.

Thanks Anil, very much man. It's a work in progress and I'm not very proud of last night's impromptu shoot.

No, this isn't "our" chili's
It's the one across the street from my house...1 exit away from where we met up.

What do you know about girls Morgan? Besides the fact that they have cooties, hence why you don't talk to them

I was in a Firestone once. There was nothing to read except Cosmopolitan. A guy walked into the waiting room and kind of laughed. He said, "you're really looking at Cosmo?"

I said, "hell yea-have you seen all the hot women in this magazine????"

Big time, man...
but on the flip side...I don't notice her hair or nail color and then I'll get all annoyed that she doesn't notice that I switch a bulb, or install an exhaust, or up the gain on the amp. I'm like "really...REALLY!?!? you didn't notice...do you even LOVE ME!?!? "

Morgan knows more about girls than all of us combined...I heard he might have even been born one...

True story...I went to take a sh*t the other day and my phone was dead...looked in our little magazine holder and low and behold...NO maxim at all...only Cosmo and women's health etc...so I started leafing through it...
not ONLY did I catch up on what's going on in entertainment...I picked out a new cologne, saw about 100 hot chicks AND learned how to last a little longer in bed. PERFECT!!!

Josh...I'm not sure what you meant there...but I'm sure Steven will give you pow pow for calling him a bish!!!

STFU instigators!!!!

I wasn't calling anyone a bitch it was a slang phrase of excitement and agreeing with steve defending him and his manhood on viewing cosmo

As for the IB... As my update said the car was dropped off just about an hour ago to complete the wiring for the audio and my 7in monitors w/dvd gets installed. Once all the wires are in place and routed to the rear I can complete a few mods, maintenance and install.

Josh, I'll check out your thread. To be honest...you were updating yours and then the other audio thread so often and with the same things that I got confused and stopped checking updates!

You got as far as installing the baffle though, I thought for SURE you were going to handle the wiring too!

gotta stand higher then. or, get your car on a slant so it gets that little bit of weight on the side you'll photograph

Yeah, I always put all my audio updating in the other thread I started a while back since that is where it all started. But like yours, the build thread will always have all mods/updates of any kind to the TL....with less chatter of course. As for the wiring, no way dude. My friend started the wiring but that option deteriorated quickly. So to keep things in perspective and with all do respect, I decided to leave that option alone...

Wiring has been the down fall or the major delay in this project. As you saw within the build processes things were humming along. But the build can only go so far before the wiring was needed to be routed and the build continues around the wiring or routing the wiring through the final stages of the build.

But all is well and the car should be ready today or tomorrow. My work then continues

Alls I heard was "yada yada, yada yada...I was too much of a beeottttchhhh to do the wiring even though I tackled harder stuff....yada yada". Then I just got confused!
Just kidding man, know your limitations! Although, there is something to be said for knowing the wiring and how it's wired yourself in case you end up with engine noise etc. But I'm sure you'll figure it all out. Can't wait to see the end result.

Well, Austin, even before being able to drink, seems like you've got the foundation pretty set to be a star at that game!
