  1. Those sound good. Where did you get them?
  2. Cliff's: Does anyone know of a local place that can do custom flames like the pic below on a small kitchen appliance? Moar: My wife has wanted a KitchenAid mixer for a while but I misunderstood what she said in the past and thought she was saying turbo timer, bigger turbo, custom exhaust, whatever. I am working on my listening skills. Anyway, I have the mixer but it is pretty blah. I think it needs custom flames! I'm thinking what I call "classic" flames. Does anyone know of a local place that can do custom flames like the pic? http://www.daveshotrodshop.com/2009_0121(003).JPG
  3. ...That aren't $300+ Where I work they have gone away from traditional cubes and now everyone is basically all up in everyone else's business by design. The noise I need to cancel out is human voices. I've tested Bose Quiet Comfort 15 in this very setting and while they are very good I can still hear people on conf. calls/having conversations while wearing them. Not worth this poor man's $300. Does anyone know of any Noise Canceling headphones that do a really good job of cancelling out human voice? Any experience with the "cheap" Sony MDR-NC200D 's -Going slowly crazy.
  4. When I got my last car I walked out the door thinking they were not going to sell it to me. It was easy for me to walk because I didn't want the car but they were advertising a good price and my offer was where I knew I could drive it for 6 months and then sell at the same price if I ended up hating the car. I was in my car driving away when the sales guy ran out and said that now they could do the deal.
  5. I will be there with my son Saturday and Sunday. If it is wet that will make things really exciting. CJ
  6. Met a lot of nice rich people and some nice middle-class folks too. Amazing to see how hard they race each other on the track and how helpful they are in the paddock.
  7. Do you know what happened to this car? Pic removed by request. http://s717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/vitamincj/2012%20MORPCA/ See gallery above for a couple pics from Saturday. Wifey erased all the Sunday camera pics for me. She is so nice. I may have a couple from my phone. The white with blue stripes car is my uncles. I had the honor of helping replace the radiator twice on Saturday. :-| But he won his class...of one. Racing was good but Porches are so ugly.
  8. Anybody going to be at Mid Ohio this weekend? I will be with the #06 944(not mine) in GT6S. Stop by and say hi if you are up there. CJ
  9. I'm not surprised. IIRC it was only 7 G's. Present VitaminCJ hates poor financial decisions made by past VitaminCJ.
  10. EBay Add Item number: 290759109052 Cliff's Notes - "1954 Studebaker Commander LS1 Turbo T56 6 Speed SCTA Hot Rod" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/schraders/photo8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/schraders/photo1.jpg That got my gears turning(no pun intended) and I found this Caddy's soul 2005 Cadillac CTS-V Z06 LS6 5.7 Engine w/ T56 Manual Transmission 405hp 50k That is a pretty decent deal for an 05 LS motor/T56 with all the fixings with 50K on it is it not?
  11. Sounds great! Maybe just leave it air cooled. :gabe:
  12. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20120712/SUMMERLOVE/120719948 So...there was a post about this last year. Did anybody attend or participate in any of these events? How about this year? Plenty of tracks on the schedule are very close to Ohio. Now that I have a job that does not require 50+ hours a week and the kids are a little older I thought I would at least throw the idea out there. Any interest for next year?

  13. Watching this video lowered my blood pressure. It's a miracle! Where are the vid's of this thing on the Tail of the Dragon or at a road course where we can see what kind of speed it carries through the corners? PS. Yes, my google is broken.
  14. That is awesome! I am thinking I could just paint Mid Ohio on my wall for about $170 less. :-)
  15. I can't wait until they come back to Mid Ohio. They do sound different than everything else out there and it is fun to watch them run.
  16. Any video of this car? I would like to hear how it sounds at idle and on the dyno. :-) CJ
  17. I was there with my 6 year old son as well. You may have seen the red Ferrari 348 vert. That was not mine but you may have seen it. ;-) This is my second year taking him to Mid-Ohio. It's good Father/son time and I know he is making lifelong memories.
  18. http://www.getg.com/campaigns/request.php?cID=getg120403 Has anybody used this stuff before? Free is tempting.
  19. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.” Ernest Hemingway Kinda sums it up for me(except for the bullfighting and mountaineering). I just don't get into watching games being played by other people. My in-laws always have golf on when we are there...but they get all the autoracing channels. I don't get it.
  20. Congrats! If she puts up with all the vehicles and your work schedule she must be a keeper. :-) CJ
