  1. Shit, Ryobi makes basically a car shopvac now, it's orange, smaller, and has an awesome attachment set and hose. It all goes together as 1 pc and is sick, my wife got it for me for Christmas and I LOVE IT. Also seems to really suck hard, hint hint.
  2. Yeah, I dropped Mothers all together, their products just never lived up to their hype. I.E. I had their Back to Black I had been using on black plastics on my truck, NEVER made it even close to looking black, just shiney. I just made a changed to their Meguiars black plastic product since I just got a new commuter car, and first try, BOOM black as shit. Also I use their Ultimate wax and dad uses NXT 2.0, both seem to last the same and the ease of use is similar. However, I've never had bad luck with any "synthetic" wax I've used. I still have some Eagle one Tech Wax or whatever it was years ago, and it rocks. I used to use 3M but it was not synthetic and was a bitch to remove, the synthetic waxes are so easy its awesome. I do use ArmorAll tire foams, but be careful they make cement really slick, but that's only after I clean the shit out of my wheels and tires. I actually am detailing my Volvo right now I just picked up for my commuter car, and now just need to remove the wax. Sorry TheBrown57, the Accord finally went back to a dealer on trade and is probably going to end up as scrap. It was a great car but with a baby on the way I didn't want to drive it anymore, and the dealer took good care of me on trade/new car price. Now back to the new ride.
  3. Hobs, definitely like the extra frame bracing up front, that was a concern I had looking at the first 2 pics, but you already knocked that out. The long V tongue would have been the only weak point I think and with the trailer box I think it even helps to add more rigidness to the trailer. Looks good!
  4. Hey I talked to Pegrams Thursday, they were in Daytona but he was calling me back this week with a quote. I talked to AFJ also, and their quote was real reasonable. Pegrams is just 5 mins from my house so makes the most sense...
  5. Yeah dude, if you've not been there, trust me, its a MUST. Even if it's the last track you ever ride, well besides Mid O since it's so close. But yeah, we have a ton of family plans around the 4th, but being a weekday, we just can't take time off work with the baby coming etc. So plan is to leave Friday after work, get up there about 10-11, ride Sat and Sun both, and come home Sun PM. Note about Grattan for those looking into this and riding Sunday, you CANNOT always leave the track during the event. They only open the gates at lunch, and when we were there 1 other time because a corner worker got called into his real job and had to rush out. They then opened it starting at like 3 or 4 a few times between sessions, I think. Nate can probably give better info. I can't wait to butt rape you Hollywood.
  6. That was the idea, get Murse and all the MS guys to go. I already talked to Dubguy he's out, wifes birthday weekend, but we wanted to get a good showing. And Im not the dickbag, CRAIG is the one that gave me this date and told me we were going. He's kinda like my race-wife, and makes all my decisions.
  7. This reminds me why I hate you and Brandon both, and a lot of other fags on here, Craig, R1IsuckhairyNuts, etc. Ok I love you guys in full homo.
  8. Sorry dude no go here either. I've got a later Gratten tripped planned with Craigypoo, we were going to talk to everyone about once the season started. Weekend after July 4th, we are going for sure.
  9. Ive always loved the Taco's, always. My friend had one he had painted barny purple in HS by some mexi's, it was lifted with a sweet plow on it, and we just tore that thing apart. However, it never once had any issues and we didn't do any maintence to it at all. If I was looking for a small truck that's what I'd get, I actually wanted one when I had my F150 but then got into big trailers etc. and got my 250.
  10. This one also comes with a bonus, nick's hot sweaty body all over it. I mean that almost makes me want it just to sleep with.
  11. Huge thread on this on WERA, http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?t=302966&highlight=colorado From what I can tell general agreement was get an older 1500 or even S10. To me these are and always will be way over priced S10s with a CC option. And the reviews on the 5Cycls are they as a whole were not so good to put it nicely. I wouldn't get one if it were me, they jacked the price up from new and sold them as a luxury S10, but overall no really good improvements.
  12. Jbot, interested in htis as well. We are getting our house fixed up to market, but not sure if it would sell or how long it would take. I have a house I want to buy now, and the wife is okay with it as well, however we don't want 2 mtgs. We also don't want to rent if we don't have to, but would do it if found the right people. I'll be following this closely. Rent is more than my mtg payment by a ton in our area, and people just cant get financing anymore like they used to. Thanks for updating often.
  13. We haven't found out who the father is, I was assuming me, but maybe we should get a home paternity test?
  14. It doesnt have to be Snell approved, just DOT or SNELL 05. And if racing must be built in last 5 years. Im a Scorpion guy, have been since day 1. they fit a tad snug as mentioned, I'm a medium in the Bell I had, but a large in Scorpion. I did a back of the head smack last year in the 1100 I had and didnt concuss, so I was happy with it.
  15. HaHa, You guys(especially TrmImafag), are so funny. 1)Actually the wife is being really awesome about the whole thing with life and racing, already told me she wanted me to run the early season and get in as much track time and racing as I can before baby comes. However if I miss the birth she told me I will not live for more than 24hrs so I can at least meet the kid briefly. 2)GSXR = Not for sale, she told me not to sell it because she know's I;ll just buy another bike later and this one is already good. Actually she wants a cruiser after we have the kid. 3)Yeah, I need to start back up at the bar to save some cash up for my expensive hobbies. Maybe I should just sell my AR and pay cash for the delivery and all the Dr. apts, well wait, she pays for all that stuff. 4)I've had gray hair for 5 years, it's just gotten worse since marriage and can't even imagine what a kid will do. Full gray by 31? Sure. All in all, I am stoked, shes really being awesome, even DD'd me to meet up with the Murse so I could get smashed with him and my best friend. Actually, she's dd'd me a lot lately, not that she drinks anyways, but now she cant. If anyone is looking to move to Cbus however, we are going to be putting our house on the market in about 1-2 months, basically just looking to get out of it what we owe, so it'll be below market value, and will have a lot of recent cosmetic done. It's a split level and I don't want to live in one with a kid any longer than we have to. Spread the word
  16. A lot of you are friends on Facebook so you've already seen my post, but I'm happy to say my wife(Sept 29,12) and I are expecting our first child Aug 14th. So far so good, no morning sickness, wifes tests have all come back clean, even being a vegetarian, and we feel we are truly blessed. It was planned so hopefully everything continues to go as smooth as it has. She is still running about 3 miles 4-5 times a week, and we just came back from our first family vacation with my parents in CO and she did great on skis, again. And yes, the kid will be at the tracks with me next year, probably not this year, but can't wait to have my wife and a little one enjoying what I love so much. Just wanted to share :)
  17. Yeah, I didn't mention that, obviouslyl if they are brand new rotors, run them with the pads you'll be running before a race or something.
  18. Hey man, I do not believe this to be the case. I've helped swap many wheels around the paddock and pits and never seen anyone change pads out. Now if you were like a super pro etc. I am sure they use different pads for different tracks, conditions, etc, in regards to bite and make up of the pads.
  19. Why worry about that, Brian's will be there. Don't act like I'm not going to nut swing and giz all over that thing, because I am. I may never get a lap on it, but I will touch it until it cries. And yeah, uh, I'd own one in a second. However baby takes priority over a bike right now
  20. That isn't from sucking it.... Think Elephant chain.
