^^ wash out that engine bay, or else Coolant stink for long time. This happened when a performance shop installed my AEM, before I figured I could have done it myself

for sure . . . we hosed it down real good . . . antifreeze can ruin the finish as well . .

BTW, had some fun with a Honda S2000. I had an empty tank of gas and was actually going to gas up when this S2000 looked like he was going to try and jump on front of me to get on the highway. He realizes he doesn't have the space and backs off. Then he goes around me and steps on it and so do I . . . I hold him off up to 80mph and then get some gas. :P

Sigh, my weekend life is now commited to soccer. I coach one team and am an assistant manager on another . . . so starting this weekend it's very little free time for the next 10-12 weeks.

I can still pull off local meets depending on the times.

I train an u-14 boys team and I'm an assitant trainer on an u-10 team but our season doesn't start till Sept.11. I play as well but I injuried my ankle, so I'm sidelined for at least a couple of weeks. What age group do you coach, & do you play too?

Well wadda know another soccer fan . . . Inferno's one as well and still plays.

As for me, I coach a U10 rec team, assistant mgr on a U10 development team and just a spectator on the U12 team . . . but I did coach that son both indoor and outdoor.

Don't play, except for a few friendlies indoors. Knee and shoulder problems have pretty much made me a spectator.

Our season doesn't start until 9/11 either, but both boys are playin in the Labor Day tournament here in Plano. So my season has started early.

RUF - even through you are unable to play glad to see you still involved in the sport. Actually I'll be in Dallas this weekend but I already have a busy schedule or I would invite myself to checkout some games. good luck this weekend in the tournment.

yeah where is the austin meet? i'd be down! saturday the 4th sounds good, i'd have to be back for the fifth.
DREW: if i knew the details i would let u know more...but if the meet is on saturday morning or afternoon then i guess i'd be leaving early morning that day, looking at cars, grabbing dinner and heading back that same night. it's not bad of a drive, from fort worth it's like 3 hrs. i don't know anything about it though, when where or why???? get back to me. maybe we can get some peeps to roll with us.

Thanks Gixx.

I'll be real busy myself. I got no less than 5 games this weekend with the younger son, which I'm and assistant on, and no less than 3 with the older son.

@!#!@$%!!%!
this wknd, some truck in front of me on the highway apparently didnt tie down his things, so some random crap flew outta the bed and hit the minivan in front of me, and then bounced around and hit me too.

at first i thought it was just a big piece of cardboard, but when i got home, i saw it dented my hood and right fender. the next morning, i realized my windshield has a crack, and its now growing quickly.

i shoulda written down his license plate. argh


my deductible is pretty high, and i'm short on cash- so i was thinking about replacing the windshield only, and dealing with the body work later. anybody know a good windshield place thats CHEAP?

On another note, feels like it's been forever since I have posted in here.

It was good to finally meet you too! First person from ACL that I have met.
Looks like you & the two chicks w/jungle fever having a Mantis sandwich were having a blast Funniest thing is when you said "Damn, out of all these niggas up in here how'd you know it was me?"
