You have a PM!

No way. The only time I am shooting is if someone is stupid enough to enter my house. If someone is in my house...I assume their intentions are not to make me a late night snack...thus I feel my life (or life of a loved one) is in immediate danger.

I have your sugar for you, punk.

Oh...I know that. I had no plans to shoot at anyone...did think of firing one off into the ground. Yeah...I should have thought 12 ga. You are right....that click would be enough for me to run if I was up to no good. I did not go barging out and make myself a target...not that dumb. I really think they were snooping around my house to see if we were awake. I think the neighbors were the target....I have my reasons for thinking that.

LOL! Anyway...I think you'll be stretching it a bit, but I would try that route. Inexpensive, so what do you have to lose? If works, then you will have saved much time and/or $$$.

Glad someone mentioned that. Very true!

Went to bed sorta late tonight...friend stopped by and were chatting. So...went to bed later than usual. Anyway...was sound asleep when woke up to loud unusual noises from side/back of my house. Near bedroom window. The kind of noises that woke both me and the lady up. I hear more and think I hear voices. I was half dressed, pully prepared, and out the back door ASAP! Heard running but kept my mouth shut. Now...I have more brains than balls, so no stupid cowboy stuff... I went out and really think I sacared someone off. Did a thorough check of the house and neighbors' homes to look for signs of attempted entry and/or vandalism. Saw footprints in the wet grass...that was it. Just saying...it was a good preparedness drill. I have a 3 year old who was still sleeping like a 3 year old should. Think about it....how would you have reacted? Heart is slowly going from the pounding back to regular rate You always say in horror movies..."don't go out there," but when you truly are pumped...not much scares you. If someone could bottle that rush where you are alert and awake, but have your wits about you...they'd be a rich man!

Sam...I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Good advice.

Sounds cool! I heard the ads on the radio. Hope the weather holds out...would like to check out the shop. I could use some audio upgrades...fo damn sure!

Funny...kinda like that crazy guy I have seen on TV who has EVERY Disney character EVER tattooed all over his body...PLUS....many scenes from movies. Said he goes to DisneyLand/DisneyWorld like 6 times a year...and the dude is married! He said he gets kicked out of the parks sometimes because customers complain that he freaks them out. BTW...I have seen that car...I was with a co-worker and she pointed it out to me.

I like it. I saw it at the Cols. auto show. First time I saw it was during the Super Bowl...my wife was like..."Sweet...I'm trading in the Yukon." Uh...OK.

The voce overs are great. I remeber one..."This is Foos Bobakanoosh...he works as a spontaneous pearl necklace distributor." Funny show. They have some crazy stuff on TV in Japan! Ever seen that HBO show..."Shock Video?" That is some crazy stuff...and to think...here in the uS all the fuss Janet's boob made.

^^^^ + 1 I have MAD respect for the cars at IPS and shops around the state/country. Individuals' cars and shops' cars. I like the scene and I like the people....whether it be here, Cincy, Dayton, Cleveland, Timbuktu, etc. I apologize for anything that may have set this off...especially the 10 second thing a while back...we were simply excited to have that EVO up and out on the street...so I was a little over-zealous...but that is what I get for it. Above all...Mark is my friend...and I respect his knowledge and craftsmanship. I respect Quantum and its staff, customers, and friends. I am not in the business of making enemies. I have been on CR for quite some time...and I know and have met so many cool people from it. Ricky and I have butted heads over posts and rules on here, but nothing ever related to any of this drama. Personally...I find the dude funny and entertaining. I sent him a PM to be shared with all IPS extending my hand. I have said it many times before...we should help each other out when the opportunities present themselves...and I think they will. Outside the shop (i.e., call outs, etc.)...it's all good, but malign statements solve nothing...especially when it is comprised of hearsay and he said/she said. See you guys the streets...and maybe when I am not spending so much $$$ on my home and family...at the track (speaking of me and my car only). I need to practice too...I suck at driving...just ask Mark how I managed to crack two front lips in a matter of weeks. Later...peace. tongue.gif Jason [ 23.

Someone posted..."Where is NOCAB"? I answered truthfully...why does that matter to anyone? He has a fast 7...everyone knows that. He himself posted his vids on CSR and in group conversations....many people say..."Oh dude, I have seen a video of your car." This whole beef is retarded! Mark responded on CSR....so can this crap rest until the proven moment?

PR...nah. I know this is generating plenty of publicity though. Spinning bullshit, eh? Not my intention. FYI...Competitor of Enron, but we didn't go belly up. I just left because of the back-stabbing corporate ivory tower culture that was going on. Gets old.... Howard...I realize people say what they say and do what they do. I don't make false claims about myself or my car. I am not going to round up character witnesses either. I don't make premature judgements on people....so why me? It's all good though. If you want my job description from Mark...by all means...ask him. Mark is a good friend and asked me to help him. I just post on these boards when I have free time. Judge not... Look forward to meeting you. Peace, Jason [ 23. April 2004, 03:21 AM: Message edited by: Hoop-D ]

Jeff...why? I'm sure Andrew appreciates being in the middle of this...and no ANDY...I DID NOT DO THAT TO YOU. You know how WE do ! smile.gif

Not even close and not exactly...

Yeah....OKAAAAAY! Be informed or not.

+1 BRO! BTW...the other thread on CSR has been addressed and it will all be settled I guess. smile.gif

Cincinnati street racing had one last Saturday...yeah...they had 8 women jello wrestling. They moved all furniture out of this apartment and put in baby pools. They also had a wet T contest. I have a link to pics...

My guess...Mark Myers

Trust me...we are as anxious as anyone else!!!! It has been a long process, but we are in the home stretch....very soon!
