Ok, a couple of friends of mine, all drive Z06's Vipers, cool cars like that, are going to be driving to Salado this Sat afternoon to check out an antique car show. Bring it down and then we can all go on a short cruise. It will be WELL WORTH your time!!


By the way, this goes for the rest of you fools. If you want to come on out, give me a shout!!

Yes, but you guys were well ahead of us at one point . . . but 2 months with the current post difference = over 800 posts per month . . . better get back to work over there . . .

And you guys have way more views . . . would that be some form of voyeurism? aka peeping toms . . .

Thanks

That's why I would like to try photo shop and see where they would look good . . . I could center them or ???

I also looked at some of the new diamond mesh grills at my other brother's shop and he had a sample . . . it could look hot, but I want to play with the design . .
as you know I need to repaint my frontend anyway . . . remember the bull on the hood . . .

That would be nice, but I don't think your parents will go for that one . . .

Oh yeah, and my salesman, who seems to know his shiet, says that the price is going to be more like $75k!! So, add in the premium and you are looking at $90k for a damn chevy!!

Oh yeah, and I would be number 6 on the list.

Damn guys... I had to read 5 pages (skipped one for sanity purposes) just from yesterday afternoon! And I thought the ricer boys on the NF forums were PW's.

Civic, good to see you are joining the transmission problem-less side

Inferno, it has been awhile, I've been busy as hell pretty much.

Mantis, yes it was a sad moment. And ironically I may be moving out of that area soon. Lease is up in June. AND DSL BLOWS!!!!!!!!

And who's got a Z06 these days??!? My buddy (long time DNE member) upgraded from his 03 max to an 04 Yellow Z06. He's up in McKinney. The best way to spot him is the Keith Craft sticker on the rear window. He's lowered, chrome Z06 wheels, and NO SIDE MOLDING!!! (so pretty). He's sprayin pushin 510/533 to the wheel on a 125 shot. hehe

Yep, we are back in full swing . . some new blood has brought life to this group . . . wish you could be more regular, but understand the real world doesn't always work that way . . . shoot, I've missed months at a time before

As for the Z06s, they are beasts when modded in any form . . .

Looking foward to hooking me up with some clear headlights . . .

Thanks, maybe you can help Casper . . . he's practically a pro at it

Of course I'll need to reciprocate . . . what sort of mods are you still needing? Maybe I can help there . .

Okay, just PMd the guy and gave him a sob story that I'm wanting to do the Thermo mod and really don't want to go over $600 . . . . we'll see what happens.

Of course this means the pullies will have to wait . . .

From the guys upstairs:
SERVER MAINTENANCE

WE WILL BE GOING DOWN THIS WEEKEND! We're putting in a dedicated database server. I'm not sure when I'll be doing it. Could be as early as friday. Or it could be saturday. Basically it's really dependant on when I can get the site admin to rack the box and cable it.

His last offer was to do it friday, so we'll see... expect some downtime. 2-4 hours maybe when we get started.


Also, I might hit the track on Friday just for shits & giggles if I can find some N20.

Where can I find some in North Dallas area?

That's me with the Z06. Mine is black with NO side moldings as well-I hate them! So far, it's got exhaust and shifter work, but that is it. I am saving for a Supercharger!!

If they are in good shape, then I would say that they are a good price. Not a great price, but a good one.

I've been wanting to clear mine out for years but I'm just too scared to fog them up and drop the $$$ to replace the housing. if yours goes well, I'm all over it.
