Well the quest has began for me to drive stick. My friend got a Pontiac GTO 6spd and I just got back from 30 minutes of driving it...only stalled once and had 2 really clean shifts. Only went up to 3rd though. Excited to learn more!

Bleh I cant make cars and coffee no more with my work schedule. Sunday at Legacy I might be able to make as long as nothing comes up but might need a bit later not so early lol.

Well . . . I will be going to Cars & Coffee this coming Saturday and it will be the last time with all sorts of OEM stuff and repairs being made starting later that day. I expect to be out of commision for a week or maybe more if I run into some problems or find I need additional parts. Here's what I'll be doing.
SP Performance Rotors & Hawk HPS pads
Tokico Illumina struts
Replace both axles
Rear main seal
Timing belt . . and everything else that goes along with that
. . . and if not at the same time (or soon after)
NGK Iridium X plugs
Finish custom exhaust
Revamp Ram-Air and Intake

Sorry, for whatever reason, the forum does not allow me to send/receive PMs or look at peoples profiles... I guess my infamous reputation over on the boner forum spilleth over.. LOL
For cozumel, i would recommend the following things:
Restaurants:
Pepe's Bar & Grill - best restaurant on the island IMO $$$
Lobster Joes - off of the downtown square so they don't nail you as bad.
Ernestos Fajita Factory (If it is still in business)
Tony Rome's - always gets great reviews, I have never eaten there
Bars:
Senor Frogs - man that was a blast
Carlos n Charlies - I have not patronized the new location
Paradise Bar and Grill - you'll have to rent a moped to the south tip of the island, but this is worth it 100%. I do not recommend swimming there, the undertow is bad bad. Get a Sol beer, a hammock and listen to the waves crash as u listen to reggae. Take a sharpie marker to graffiti the walls...
Activities:
Scuba Diving: If you are certified, Dive with Martin' is THE BEST operator on the island. I saw more on my last 6 dives with him than I had in the previous 20 with Del Mar Aquatics, and I have been traveling scuba dive in CZ since 1990.
Snorkeling: Rent or take some snorkling gear and go to Casa Del Mar hotel. Across the street from there is a sunken airplane u can snorkle over. It's been featured in a few famous movies... Due to Hurrican damage over the years it is not as intact as it was in 1990.
There is a submarine ride thats right across from the Casa Del Mar also, but i have no clue as to the cost or the depth....
Rent a moped and go all the way around the island. It's a blast, but don't do it at night....
This is what I have so far... But there are a few places i was already too hammered to remember the names...![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Thanks for the info Phantom. This will be very useful. Now I hope that it doesn't rain over there. Right now the weather report is stating that it will rain on Thursday - Saturday. As we get closer to next week, I hope that it doesn't end of being the case.

Number 1 son got into another wreck in his Prelude . . . this time it was mostly his fault. He was trying to turn left in to a parking lot during rush hour traffic . . 2 lanes were backed up and the cars were letting him thru, but some guy came flying down the right turn only lane and nailed the front end.![Hang](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/hang.gif)
Now on top of all the work that I need to do on the cars I get to rebuild the front end. I didn't need this . . . no one does, but it couldn't have come at a worse time with no job and funds are dwindling.

my brother is in town from denver and i'll bring him, he has never seen a collection of cars like c&c.
I finally got my dent repaired and had my wheels reconditioned. i had them color the rims gun metal, more like the original color. they definitely did a good job and the rims look almost chrome.
i should make more events now that my car is fixed. i was embarressed by the dent so i laid low until i could get rid of it. no need to let y'all see a dinged up beauty.

Depending on if they were wearing helmets & riding gear, bikers seem to catch a lot of sympathy in Dallas when they have accidents.

I made it to C&C around 8:30 and stayed to about 10:30. I say Silver and Rick drive by, but never saw anyone walking around . . . but not surprising as it was really packed . . the most cars since I started going there.
