You have fallen asleep detailing the underside of your car .................. If you meet people and they ask if you have any kid's and you say no, but, I have a car. That's my baby.................. Told a girl you can't go to a movie tonight you have to figure out what the fuck is wrong with the car................. You have your part delivered to your work, because you have to have them in your hands as soon as possible.................... People at your office call you and tell you a new part was just delivered............ The UPS, FedEx, and Postman know that you are building a car, and asked how it's coming...............

I forgot to mention. If you meet people and they ask if you have any kid's and you say no, but, I have a car. That's my baby. I love the look people give me. Then I try to help them out and say "I do have a cat though". It's like watching them snap out of a trance of confusion. "Oh, a cat, that's great". Starting a spin off thread to this one. Please reply. This will be pretty funny.

What if I told you I could drive it just as good as you? Is it a 16 gear 20 ton?

Might be a repost I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger. " Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why: I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass everyday. Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women drivers! In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449. According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98. And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33. According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing. That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed. Give her the finger? I don't think so!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Those things are awesome. Nuts, but awesome. You could tow away an entire mobile home park.

Too many things in your post are what I did not want to do or have issues with. Last year I was fortunate for my build and smart too, I think. I set a budget and sat with people who knew what I wanted . We planned it out 6 months before buying a part. I had commitments from who would be involved with what areas and from there started buying parts as I found good pricing on them. Not everything has to be new. And paying cash is were you save the most. When I bought something new I would just ask if I could pay cash and have no tax. Sometimes they would. On a $3600 order, that saves you $243.00 in tax. It's like getting brake rotors for free. I bought a lot of parts from people who hardly used them. $1150 clutch, counter weight, and flywheel for $450 with shipping. That's a deal. Like I said, I was fortunate. But paying cash never strapped me and if I wreck the car (aside from insurance), at least I'm not still paying on what I don't have. Having someone breathing down my neck about $ would have taken all the fun out of it. Go get your own hobby and then we will both have something to do. I did come up with this thought that I will use in the future, if the car is financed. If you can not make double the car payment each month, you can't afford to mod the car. By mod the car, I mean past bolt ons.

Thanks for taking the time to write about the pics and post them. I know it's a pain and takes time. Sounds like you had the perfect trip for what you wanted. I would like to visit ground zero sometime before the icebergs melt and put it underwater. Great thread.

My thoughts are with her.

Ahhh, now I remember this guy. http://www.myspace.com/twist3d_ryd3z

No hard feeling. And from what I've seen, you can drive yours. We're still friends, right. lol

Hey man, I saw your posts today and that you have access to some not so usual things. I thought you might be able to help me out. It's kind of a long shot, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a wheel barrel. Not the types like you see in the stores now. The one I'm looking for has 2 wheels. One in the front and one in the middle. Do you have anything like this? Thanks

^^That's pretty much what you see now^^

This makes more sense. But If it's the other way, then I will switch.

Help me out here. What would make someone think driving their super deluxe extended double quad crew cab duelly rig/truck threw down town traffic is a smart idea? The other night the arena area was full of them. None of them knew how to make a turn. I missed 3 lights because the drivers of these trucks can't figure out how to flow with traffic. The worst part about it to me is, I'll almost guarantee half of them have never been to a farm or off road. These city cowboy wanna bee's are a fucking joke. I've seen them in Lancaster too. It's hip to have the big truck. Well fine, learn how to drive it then. I know you have a 1982 escort at home you could have drove. Maybe you wouldn't be all pissed off because you can't find a place to park if you didn't need to take the rig everywhere. You have a truck payment that is more than your rent or mortgage probably. And I don't even need to go into the fuel cost. Yet you still manage to drive it 35,000 miles a year towing nothing and hauling nothing. So when you go to downtown Columbus for your big night out, please take it into consideration that you are going to be in confined spaces. Maybe maneuvering 23' of Detroit diesel through Blue Jackets traffic isn't that great an idea. This observation is from someone licensed with both 53' tailors and 44 passenger buses. Discuss.

By 2 yrs of "service", do you mean unlimited plan? Or tech service?

I know exactly where you are coming from. I would be worried the whole time about throwing the car in a corner at 90 mph and having a weld come a part, or any weakness for that matter. If it was just street driving, I might not be so concerned. You of all people know you are going to work the hell out of those wheels. I don't want to see you get hurt. The great price could cost so much more later. My .02

Not familiar with wheel repair, but I couldn't trust it on the track after a fix. The great price isn't worth it.

I don't know enough about foot ball to argue it, but this is the same game I watched, before I fell asleep in the 3rd. I've never understood spending $x,xxx to watch a game. To each their own. I still like the Bucks, but this was the worst game I have ever seen.

Glad to hear you're coming back. I went to the Supra meet with you and the 20 other people to Dayton back in the day. I had the blueish BMW. I use to be Bimmerjoe on here. Now I have a black FD for a toy. Mike, Tony, and Zavior have been a great help in the year and a half I've had it. Was it your parents house we all stayed at down there? I think it was yours or Bretts family. All I really remember is how close your car came to scraping in the drive way. That car was so low.

The road was pretty narrow. I think the all trac should have stayed on his side to let the Supra open up(if he had more). 1st race the Supra wasn't in it.

When do they open? I'm in that area too and may consider it. Would like to stop by and look first.

Is this the Alex that had the red FD?

I like your start so far. We just had some clown who said he heard about this site from ohionissans sign on here a couple of weeks ago. You HAVING a car is a huge plus. Here's the link to the thread http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32089 You seem to have a nice start on a build. Good luck with it and welcome.

LOL! I hope you took what I said as a joke. Pretty sure you did, but making sure.

That's your clit. You have no balls.
