So, I got my new plates in, I just don't know if they are going to be "260B4U" or "2 (insert silhoute of Texas here) FAST"

First one means:
To Sixty Before You

Second one answers the question that all po-po's ask, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Too Fast!!

I am going to pick them up tonight, so we will see.

I have no idea. As of now, it is negative. The only reason to sell the Vette is to save money, and I figured that if I am going to save money, might as well save a bunch and get a cheapie car to drive.

As of now, I have no idea what I am going to do

So I had some friends over last night to put on our own fireworks show-hehehe, not a good idea to have piro in control of fireworks.

We ended up emptying the contents of a shell into an empty water bottle (20 oz size), and getting sticks of "little dynamite" to top it off as our fuse. Well, he lit it and kind of stood around and then finally walked off. His ass almost got burned by a flying fire-craker, it was awesome-exactly like a fire-work but on the ground.

It was cool.

Checking in. I will be going on the 22nd. I already bought my ticket. I will hopefully have a job by then and it shouldn't interfere with me going.

He is not sure about the power that it is putting out, but guesses around 250-300.

He is asking $15k, which is way to much. It needs some work still to drive around all the time.

So, I am still looking, which is a bummer, cause this car really is clean.

I'm not to happy with the CL right now.

I had to spend $1K to fix the CV joints on the car. :silvermad

But at least it drives much better now.

damn, i'll know next time. We had 10 people and we were playing in a mini self initiated tournament. with a small payout

I tied for first.

Only thing, it was wayyyy out there in Royce City, which is a solid hour from Frisco, and probably 1.5 - 2 hours from where you are.

Yeah, it really does look sweet. But, there are tons of little shit that needs to be done like:

-Cut the seat brackets cause the seats sit too high
-Get a lock cylindar for the door cause it is missing
-Get a new headliner
-Get better suspension-
-Get a tune

So yeah, it sure does look good, but it needs way too much to for me to spend $15k on it.
