Haha sorry master of punctuation, and no I don't read what I write. By the way I lied, he gave me the wrong tracking number. The LEDS were on my front step when I got home.

Tomorrow I will have video of a few of the cars jumping. A couple of the cars I caught on my phone jumped over 100 feet. Like I mentioned before - there is no good way to explain how the flag pole races work. Sweet is all I can say.

Vrooom. We saw an older trans-am with T-Tops jump 110 feet and drive away. It was frucking sweet.

So who is with us next time?

oh ok, i see how that can be a bit confusing. i bought just a replacement steering wheel without the buttons. i want to replace mine because it's a bit worn. the 06 wheel wheel that i got is basically new. Only 35 dollars, damn good in my opinion.

few people didnt show up, and we found it hard to cook burgers without heat

but we did get blackura to finally come. he earned a few man points today i'd say
+1 for showin up
+1 for givin me a kick ass cup holder
+1 for actually gettin something done. installed his LEDs while we all were jammin brats down our throats

god that wisconsin cruise was insane. i kept relearning the car every turn. i'd go in too hot and get scared imma fly off the road. but the TL stuck to it like duct tape and i learned it could handle it. next turn push a little harder and harder. also learned that not having bucket seats sux

next time tho, we're limiting cruises to 1 hour or 30 changes in direction, whichever comes first

Haha, word to that. That was insane. So much fun though. We better get some pics up soon, I wanna see em. Also I parked in my garage turned all the lights off the LEDS are bizzzomb. They are a lot brighter than I thought they would be.

Razzi, we just need to get you to an Auto-x so you can see just what the TL can really do. You should sign up for the school on June 14-15 and then you can see how good the TL really is. Dan and I were probably only going at 5-6/10ths on O. If the corners weren't blind we could have gone much faster.

I'm serious guys, you have to come out and hit the auto-x to really see what you can do in that car. It pays to know how hard you can corner before the back end comes around, and just how hard you can push the front.

So as soon as I leave, you all goto the cheese state huh? Well as soon as it gets nice out for a solid week (like July or sometime) - we all need to take a cruise down to taylors falls.

Thats a bomb ass drive.

As for this evening - started out like a champ, and just kind of sobered up as the night went on. I dunno what happened.

Sorry about leaving so soon though guys - but definately had a good time out there. It's nice to get out from time to time and just "hang" without shit going on.

Oh - b4 I goto bed for the evening.... Everyone mark your calanders. June 27th, there is another friday night destruction thing, except there are school bus figure 8's this time.

There is another FND on June 13th too, but no special events have been listed. I'm definately down for both events, but the 27th is the one we should all try to goto.

Hey you guys I'm going to start looking in to buying a spoiler, but I don't want the stock normal bigger one I just want one no bigger than Josh's. So a lip spoiler or his spoiler. If you find any good ones let me know.

That's pretty sweet man. I wish I could get a spoiler like that on mine.

Bad news - I had the faucets on the outside of my house replaced, and the company put the one on the back of the house on wrong (it was angled so the water went into the line, not running out of the faucet). What basically happened is that the water stayed in the line all winter and froze - blew the pipe open. It is fine as long as we dont use the faucet - but we didnt know this and used it yesterday.

Woke up with morning to an odd alarm I've never heard before - it was my CO2 detector getting wet and freaking out. So I had to empty my living room downtairs, my store room, and suck all the water out of the carpet.

I'm currently waiting for the plumbing company to call me back to find out if their insurance will cover this, or if I need to make a claim on my homeowners and they will take the plumbing people to court for me.

Sucks - now I gotta try to put a value on all the shit that got wet (including a recycle bin full of soggy baseball cards)

hey I will get pics up as soon as I can, but I am in chicago visiting my buddy and I brought my camera but forgot the cord. Pics look nice though. I believe Razzi and Josh have some pics too?

I second Josh in saying to get your car out on the autox course. That is where I really learned how the car feels and how hard I can push it around corners. Learn that and you can keep up with us lowered 2gs. I definitely got the rear end out a couple times on the cruise
