'Sup Dudes and Dudettes?

Been in the dark ages for a while and finally made my way back here.

So what have I missed?

Mantis, got your wheels yet?

BTW - went down to Enis last weekend with the boys. Ran a 14.64 @ 98.6 . . . just kidding, about my time that is.

I did go down for Super Chevy Sunday and had a blast with my two boys. It's got my blood boiling, but I have Mantis front tire syndrom. Meaning my front tires seem to be going bald.

I also got my tint redone and it looks much better.

Take a whole bunch of Dave & Buster's $10.00 free play cards like this one...


After about 1 month, they will eventually accumulate to this many tickets... like shown here.


Add it all up, and it eventually turns in to this...


I used about 100 or so $10.00 coupons, which adds up to $1000.00 (not all was used getting tickets though, but the fact still remains.)

:P

I was just about to delete my post cause I found that thread about your X-box in Rambings.

What do you mean by an online registration? You designed the site or something like that?

It took about 30 min. at the most to do the work, not counting the trip to Lowes. All it cost was something like $2.79 for a roll of 20' x 6" gutter guard. Definately the best mod for the $!

Thanks, if you're talking about the car it should look a lot better tomorrow, cause I'll finally have some time to wash/wax. I still haven't used that Zaino Mantis got for me.

Nope, just looking. It was a mostly a Chevy only weekend.

Man, where are those rims coming from? Pluto?

And, yes, the the tints a bit darker. More black less silver metalic looking. Very nice on the WDP. Would be great on the Black or Anthrax Grey.

BTW - My front tires are looking likes yours the last time I saw them. Can't understand why.

Here's a few Zaino shots. We had to take pics after just one coat cause the sun was going down.

I know I'm not a good photographer





That's my friend's 01 GT.



Look at those 4x4s!

No they definately don't, especially now that I got a couple more coats on. My camera is a pretty old digi-cam, like 1 megapixel, so the pics are pretty grainy when they are full size. The only part of those pics that does justice is the wheels. I waxed those too, look at that shine.

I saw a satin silver CL-S today, thought it might be one of you because it had a nice looking drop. It turned right onto the service road of I-20 from Collins at about 2:30pm. Anyone here?

yeah you saw a for sale sign, i'm going to try to sell it. I owe too much money to my dad for it and so i want to sell to get rid of some of my debt, plus, im only 22 and in college, i really dont need to be driving a $30K car. I really like it and do want to keep, but oh well. If i cant sell it, obviously im gonna keep it.

Anyone needing 2 stock tires or wanting to get ride of 2?

My front tires are suffering from "Mantitis"

I need to do something the next few weeks or so.

I just wish I could do the sway bar while I'm at it.
