No, thank god, it barely even rained here. I'm just N of I-20 and W of 360. I friend of mine got some pretty bad rain up by I-30, no tornado though.

I got my 22.5K service today.
They charged me 61 bucks, (instead of the original 152 bucks).

I told them not to do half the stuff they wanted to. And I had my own oil (thanks to Fender4, whereever he may be :P)

Ohh, and they fixed my hanging muffler.

Dude, you gotta think outside the box.

Your post contained 2 different subjects, therefore, you should have had 2 seperate posts.

Okay, I'm back to help some more. Anyone play Grand Theft Auto 3, that game is great! I'm addicted to it, and I don't even have it, that's a problem.
I wonder how much of that precious bandwidth these posts take up. Hope we don't piss off Soopa.

Heh, yeah, I don't want to get in trouble for whoring. But I've been going through withdrawal lately. I'm at least doing what I can, reduced signature, and linked avatar from my server. It all balances out.

Dude, GTA3 is the shit. I love that game. I haven't played it in forever though. I got to the third stage, completed a couple of missions, and just kinda stopped playing. I'll finish it one of these days though.

It's me Wak. As some of you know, my car got toasted.
Going to be a few weeks b4 I get it back. Suck thing is
they even have to paint doors and body panels that
werent' touched. They say they have to blend in the
silver as they can't get an exact match! I think that
sucks so bad, the car only was 2 months old. You think
they could match it! The parts didn't amount to
much money, but they sure charge azz loads for painting
and labor!

blah end of rant.

Danny........ GTA3 RULES!!!!!

wak, i'm sorry about your car. i know it's been a while since i've been online, and you and danny are new to me, but i'm sure we'll all have fun at the next meet or whatever......

A good race is always easy to recognize......

stupid quote, but who gives a SHIZNIT......

DuckBlue emailed me and mentioned that we NEED to be larger than the sacremento thread. i'd go post over there and to tell them that they're goin down, but that would only help them....... DAMN....

BTW, did anyone get hail damage from last night and/or was anyone in Fort Worth near that tornado? Hanzie, do you live close to where it happened?

Hey Wak, again sorry about your car. But I'm sure the body shop will have it looking good as new. Don't worry about it dude. On my car, if you look REAL closely, you can tell my bumpers don't match the rest of the car. So having them paint it is a good thing. (As long as insurance is picking up the ticket that is.)

Those body shop prices can get outrageous.

Your absolutely right! I was playing that game at my friend's house for a few hours, and then when I left to go home I had a sudden urge to jump the curb and hit some pedestrians! Thank god I controlled my self.

Wak,
what happened to your car? I don't remember hearing about it. Sounds pretty bad, whatever it was.

I was thinking about that after I posted last night. If we can have a whole forum for "Ramblings" then a little post whoring for a good cause (beating Sacramento ) can't be that big of a deal.

I did absolutely JACK SHIT at work today. I mean nothing, zero, zilch. All I did was post ONE file and thats it. I spent the morning looking up component speakers, and the afternoon playing that stupid online golf game http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~p...h/miniputt.swf
and screwing around on here and a-tl.com

I'm soooo dead tomorrow. :'(

Hey, anyone planning any meetings anytime soon? I'm getting an h23 five speed tranny swapped in instead of my gay automatic. I know I'm still the slowest cl in here, but I want to compare... Anyone live near Abrams & Royal? Or LBJ and Central? I was just wondering how old most of you are? I'm only 17. Let's meet some night... Sometime after I get my tranny done, so sometime after wednesday or thursday next week. O yeah, and anyone have any opinion in what would be the best investment? An ACT racing cluth, an Apex V-Tech controller, or maybe cam gears... I'm thinking the Apex V-Tech controller.... Anybody have one or know much about it?

Tranny swap!?, wow, how much does that cost?

I wouldn't mind hangin out at another meet, but I don't know about one this soon for me. I've got about 3 more weeks until this semester from HELL is over. I'd be more inclined to meet after that.

I'm somewhat close to that area, and I go down there at least 2 times a week to party. Hopefully we can organize another all out meet sometime soon. But me know when you get the mods in and I'll come down to play.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Anyone having trouble logging on to this site, or is it just me? I keep getting this message, "The server is busy. Please try again later." And it's only happens at home. Anybody else?
