So the time has come, I am selling my Firebird. It will be going to its new home tomorrow or friday. Anyways, with that said. The GTO is now the primary car. It will be the daily and will also be taken to the track just like the Firebird was. I don't plan on doing many modifications to it right away as far as making it faster. It will be tuned though and have some minor things done to it this year. I know these cars have a few weak spots and I want to do preventative maintenance and fix those before I start truly beating on the car. It is an automatic - I don't have the best track record for automatics, I have broken every single one of them I have owned that has been a daily driver to date except for the one in the truck. :no: I was told there where issues with wheel hop on these cars, and that replacing some bushings/mounts would fix that. What else should be done to "reinforce" the car for someone who has a decent amount of road rage, drives faster than they should, and will hot lap the shit out of the car on the track?

The last time they untied him the security camera I set up magically went offline during the same time he was let go. Even though it had not failed prior to that or since then. If they want to let him go now they need to come with big ass bolt cutters to get him off of the chain. I don't really want to see him tied up either which is why we have decided to re-home him. Our neighbor has looked into the costs of making the fence taller as she loves the dog as well, but its going to be fairly expensive and yet another project I don't need right now. Not to mention all of the what if's. Too stressed out from everything else. :fuuuu:

We have a young (slightly less than 1 yr old) Great Dane/Lab mix up for adoption. He is up to date on all shots. Micro-chipped. Neutered. And we have all records since we bought him as a puppy. He has been primarily outside with the exception of being crate trained. He has never been in the house for long periods of time and will need house broken if you decide to keep him inside. He is one of the sweetest dogs. Loves kids. Gets along well with both our Husky mix and Chihuahua. He does chase cats (in play) and wants to play with small animals so caution should be used when allowing him around small animals. I don't think he would ever intentionally hurt something, but he is a large dog and wants to play with everything and doesn't know when he is being too rough. The only reason we are seeking to re-home him is because he has to be tied up in our yard due to being able to jump our chain link fence. We have had problems with people coming into our yard and freeing the dog down to the point of them cutting the harness off the dog multiple times. We have looked into putting in a new fence, but at this point due to a lot of extra stress in our lives he needs to go somewhere that he will have more space to play and with someone that will have more time for him. He knows basic commands (sit, stay, come, walk, shake), is good in a car, and loves going for walks. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x123/wannarace928/C360_2011-09-0908-01-28.jpg

Trading cards..... I wonder if we could make them.... hmm Collect all of the trolls!

You troll people so much, that when I do it they think you did it and never suspect me. :masturboy: I get to sit back and :lolguy:. I <3 you.

If you submitted a T-shirt design that you would honestly like to see used for the CR shirts, please post it up in this thread. Or if you haven't submitted one yet, here's your chance! We can actually design a few different shirts and different styles for summer/winter. We are going to use our Cafe Press account to do all of this as it will be more convenient for everyone. Try to keep this ON TOPIC. Bullshit posts will be removed and infractions given.

This year was the learning curve. I knew getting the photo's would be a pain in the amount of time we had. Hope everyone enjoys. We will be getting shirts and other products up on the site soon.

Wagner for Admin 2012!!!! Oh wait.... :masturboy:

Dover, You seem to be missing the point altogether. It is a closed, private section of CR. A place where members, and paying sponsors can report issues and alert us to problems, sometimes things that people don't want everyone else to know. A place for only the Staff of CR to be able to read and deal with issues. A place where we can discuss the future of this place, and how to deal with certain members and issues that come up on the forum. Do you really think the members on CR want these private matters to be public knowledge? In the hands of someone like Phil? Absolutely fucking not. No its not a matter of national security. It was a way for someone with a thick skull like you to get the idea whats said in private is suppose to be private. Its no different than working a job. He was basing it off of a job he knew you had to get the point across. For the record, since everyone has questioned the state of my mood before talking to me this morning. I have been in a great mood this morning. It is starting to go down hill slightly. :dumb: I am normally a very laid back person. But don't piss me off. I can stand up for myself even in the face of the man with the worst fucking moods in human history. :no: As Anthony has taken on the "Retired Admin" state more and more, I have taken over a lot of those responsibilities. He is an extremely forgiving person. I am not. I do not have time to deal with bullshit, and I won't. This is the kind of BS that will stop. If you wish to discuss this subject further, feel free to PM me.

I guess the biggest issue that people sometimes fail to realize is that CR is a LOCAL forum. And when you make it personal, someone could end up getting hurt. Yeah most people bicker back and forth and are fine in person. Jason and Phil have in the past wanted to meet up in parking lot and kick the crap out of each other. Why? Because someone made it personal. Its not like they live 500 miles away and it won't happen. They live within 20 mins of each other. As a forum Mod/Admin on a forum with this many people. This many trolls. When something like this comes up, it has to be taken seriously.

Using another members account. There are quite a few people that have been banned and deleted for the same shit. But because its Phil he gets a time out. I'm sure with enough ass kissing he will be back soon.

Got the answer needed.

I can name 2 that are about to be unless I get an answer. Absolutely not in the mood for BS.

Names. Now.

Who told you that he doesn't like you?

I would have happily added a bike or two, but there where not any submitted this year. For next yrs calendar I will make sure there is a lot more time for people to get their photo's submitted. With the short amount of time we had, it turned out pretty good. Mark had sent me a PM due to having a very large collection of photo's of his car.

We very much prefer you to buy it online as it will come directly to you. If you don't have any way of paying for it online and can't find someone to do it for you, if you bring me the cash to include shipping charges, I'll order it for you and let you know when it arrives for you to pick it up. We are not buying these in bulk though for sale as that usually doesn't work out very well.

Today we received the first Calendar in the mail, made a couple minor changes and it is now ready for purchase! Its not perfect this year as there was a major time crunch in getting the photo's ready. We will be starting earlier next year so that they will hopefully be ready early Dec before xmas. Congrats again to Tim for winning the January spot, as soon as the revised calendar arrives I will get that to you. http://www.cafepress.com/shopcolumbusracing.608077171

You scored 78.5%.

I'll post some current condition pics tomorrow. Its pretty yucky. Not sure how I feel about this statement... Not realizing I am kinda young means I look old....:no:

:lolguy::lolguy::lolguy: The mental image of that almost made me cry from laughing. We are taking it apart next weekend, on my birthday (sunday). You are welcome to come over and socialize/help if you want to!

Basically want to clean up everything. Frame, painted parts, the plastics... I want to do a full detail. It lived in Maryland briefly in an area where it looks like it got hit by a dust storm on a daily basis. I can get some pictures of how dirty it is tomorrow if needed. Only photos I have of the motorcycle are from 1988-1989ish when I was like 2-3 and the day we loaded it up in our truck and brought it back home from Maryland. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x123/wannarace928/tinaanddad.jpg http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x123/wannarace928/254029_10150211922068863_508293862_7279847_6711006_n.jpg

As some of you know, I brought home a motorcycle this summer that belonged to my dad/uncle. I had every intention on getting it fixed up/cleaned up well before now but everything else got in the way of me doing that until now. It is in severe need of a good clean up as it probably hasn't been washed in 8 yrs. Since it is being taken apart this weekend for repairs I wanted to clean it up while some of the stuff is off of it. However since this is my first motorcycle, I feel absolutely lost on where to start. :no: What kind of products do you use? Anything I shouldn't use?
