I've used X-plan several times. I've always felt that X-plan pricing is about the same you could get negotiating on your own. It just gets you to that price a lot quicker.

Ugh waiting sucks. Pretty much ruined our schedule at work.

Picked up a new cheap daily. Something a little different than the Tag F1 I usually wear. http://i39.tinypic.com/dur6r.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/f6vdg.jpg

Hopefully a third ring for the championship is only 4 races away. We are 1-2 in the standings. A championship would make all the hard work and late nights worth it. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/308767_10150372777777225_515552224_7925461_1080599339_n.jpg

Rossi was physically fine. It was Edwards that dislocated his shoulder. They tried to resuscitate Marco for 45 min-1 hour, but unfortunately couldn't. I'm pretty sure he died on the track.

I wish I could show you some of the failures I've had. Small end rod failures at 9500 rpm are pretty exciting. Similar to the video, but with more fire since the oil sprays on glowing red headers. I have dents in the cells sound proof wall as a reminder. Sucks to clean up though.

I like SBF. 875 hp out of a 358 NA Windsor is fun.

Was this Jono's car? I have lots of memories of the "stoned goat".

P/V issues?

Everytime I'm in C-bus (2-3 times a year) I always eat at the Elevator.

Never felt scared or threatened when I live in MI. Only thing I hated was the winter and the attitude of a lot of the people that lived there. I do miss cruising up and down Woodward on a nice summer night.

Another of mine. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189248_10150278415777225_515552224_7270862_1238084_n.jpg

Grand opening of our new parts store location in the old Roush Nationwide shop. They have two chassis dynos open to the public. Forgot to take pics of the new showroom. Oops. Most of these are of course Fords. There was about ~120 cars. Started out in front of where I work. Nicknamed the "Big House" (We have four different facilities around town). http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284719_10150271670512225_515552224_7201818_6524956_n.jpg Biffle's 3M show car. http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/270136_10150271677142225_515552224_7201889_4592731_n.jpg This was a gift from Jack Roush to Doug Yates http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/270136_10150271677147225_515552224_7201890_1927217_n.jpg One of our Grand Am customers.

Damn can't believe it's still the original block.

Edwards is an experienced pilot. He owns and flys a Citation X. One of the fastest business jets available.

Good to hear business is well. I'm also a dyno guy now.

Nah they had tunes as soon as the new engine was released.

PRV set to 33 psi. Roush-Yates

Fords did not have to swap because of the coolimg system change. We were prepared for it. Bayne pushed the entire race.

I just won ring #2. We swept the podium. Can't believe it.

Damn and I thought the 5.0 feels slow.

Yes I visit one quite often for work.

Good Commerial, but would have been way better in something SRT. 200C (sebring) is a terrible car.

Found only one pic of me so far. We just replaced the transaxle and I'm waiting to verify that the gear selector pot is still set correctly. http://tunersmall.com/ploggerb3/thumbs/lrg-2408-rolex24_2011_475.jpg
