The underside of the car, the wheel wells, etc. were spotless. The soap sponge hardly picked up any dirt at all wiping under there. I don't think it ever saw bad weather. So, yeah, I think the guy was straight-up about how well he maintained it. It's truly in like-new condition.

Even worse, I just paid my CC bills. Damn, I spent WAY too much money in the past months. Looks like I will be riding thin for the next few months. Gonna have to wait on the headers/x-pipe for the Vette.

I only have one comment: the guy with the G35C should be taunted a second time for having a picture taken with those rims.

Dang, I'm out of town for a week and RUF post whores his way into 150 posts in no time flat. I'm just proud to be number 4 on the post list...

OK, so I got a lightweight Cobb main pulley for the STi. This isn't underdriven, just significantly lightened (1 lb vs 5 lbs stock). No worries about balanced crankshafts on a flat four--they are internally balanced and very short. Less parasitic loss = quicker revs = faster into and through the sweet spot. Very nice mod for $135 (just came out by Cobb--the UR underdriven one has been out for a while but I'm not interested in the issues that causes).
Plus I have just install Fraddo 3000 race pads up front getting ready for this weekend at MSR.
Makes me feel like I just bought a new Vette or something...

Man, since I've been feeling better I've been looking to run more people . . . 
Since taking out a G35 and a 745il I get to take on a Hemi, Magnum that is . . .
I pulled up to the light and see this Magnum and wonder, could it be a Hemi? Sure enough, but will he go for it. Well no sooner than the light changes I start out a bit fast and quickly notice him jumping on it and pulling along side . . . time to floor it and to my surprise I hold him off and actually pull him slightly in the upper end of 2nd gear . . .
As the song goes . . . another one bites the dust
I did blow it in first . . . redline came up so quick since I punched it around 30mph I bumped the rev limiter . . . he was closing on me for a second until I got going in 2nd . . .
I may have to go with those pullies . . . and thermo mod soon . . . 14.2 could be in the bag.
With headers . . . who knows . . . I'd luv to be the first NA with out NOS to hit 14.0x or less.
