Dave Metz in White Bear Lake. He does all the work in his garage. He has been doing it for years. He only accepts referrals. If you are St. Paul or near, give him a call. I don't have his number anymore. Should be able to find in White Pages.

It would be crazy to wash today considering it's going to rain tomorrow.

Two words, underground garage. I can drive it all day today looking good, and then drive it all day on Monday looking good. No extra effort needed...

Go a lil less than half way down and look at the 2009 black tsx. It looks so tight.

With the kit, etc. it looks more like a new TL than a TSX.

Word to hating the grill. Most of Acura's new lineup has that big metal grill too. I just hope the new TL won't have that. But I'm sure someone will figure out an easy way to replace it with a better looking one.

From the rumors I have read, that grill is on all the new Acura vehicles and will be for the upcoming future.

Angry Hail Damage

Yep I got about 100 dings in my hood, trunk and roof. I was caught driving in Clear Lake WI. Not much I could do exept watch the hail hit my car. Looks like shit but hopefully the PDR guys can make it look new. Now i'm really upside down in it.

Call your insurance company, they'll cover it (or at least should). My buddy used to work for Dent Wizard and they were up here every spring fixing all the hail dents.

I was at my friends house when the storm hit and sirens were going off. My car was parked outside, I was pooping my pants hoping it wouldn't hail. When the storm let up I raced home and parked in the garage, no longer than 3 minutes after I got home it started hailing. I just started laughing because I knew my friends car was outside getting hailed on.

Nothing but a few sticks in my driveway. Tornado hit about 2 miles from my place.

From the sounds of it, the hail missed us too - but I was 3 hours away taking cover from the storms in LaCrosse (in a freakin tent may I remind you)

So -- all in all, it was a pretty cool weekend. We camped in Beaver Creek state park in Caledonia (southeast MN)

So glad I rode with my buddy in his dads truck. We literally had to forge 4 rivers to get to our camp area. It wasnt quite forging the mississippi or anything, but it was 4-6 inches deep, and 8-10 feet across. Not to mention the wicked angles getting into and out of the creeks/rivers. I would have scraped something off for sure.

Hmm.. Hopefully that could be something I can get to. This weekend may be kind of busy for me though since I flooded 2 weekends ago, and I was gone last weekend. Stupid wells fargo put a hold on my $4k check. Said it was "Unusual Deposit Account Activity". If they looked at my account they would see that I'm a millionaire and good for it. Oh wait... that's my other account that has all my money.

Man - I don't know what was worse this morning. Getting up for work, or having to put clothes on. I'm burnt to a crisp - but only on the tops of my shoulders, head, and neck. Dammit. It even hurt to comb my hair this morning.

I know... I know. This may come as a suprise to some of you - I was "reminded" yesterday by my neighbor that me and him have a bacholor party to goto on Saturday.

That means no picnic at the park for me

Instead it will be golf, a trip to the casino, staying in a chalet at hinckley, and a trip to "1 tit tonya's" (or whatever kind of strip club there is up north)

Well - I see the supercharger is now going for 3k shipped. I'm gonna give hi-tech a call and see if this is something they can install for me.

I'm gonna check with my buddy that does the camero work too since he has done his fair share of modding and I trust him.

I'm putting some serious consideration into buying this thing. The only thing holding me back currently (and it may not matter) is that I'm looking at buying a 2002 dodge ram 4-door 4x4 for my "winter beater".

But if I throw the s/c on a card - my payment is only gonna be like $50 a month. Yeah, I know that's the minimum - but it won't break the bank if I'm a little short from time to time.

(Also want to think about doing this somewhere else because the wife is gonna know for sure if we're in the garage for 8 hours. No way she'll know the price though. "It was a couple hundred")

Was hiking in Beaver Creek state park (Caledonia - just outside of LaCrosse). No suntan lotion because it started out nice and cool and got hot in a hurry. Wearing a sleeveless shirt no doubt.

So I got flaming red arms, shoulders, and the back of the neck. That's the part that gets me the most is the neck - damn shirt rubs on it all day.
