  1. MMM sounds good right now, it'll have to wait til later this week.
  2. Of course Bergmeister wasn't going to let him pass that's road racing, as stupid as it sounds you don't just let the other guy pass. They have to work for it, saying Bergmeister was an ass is fine, but don't miss Jan driving behind him with his high beams on the entire time, pushing the Patron GT3 out of the way going into the corkscrew, and cutting the course. This isn't a DE where you have to let the faster car pass, they are in the same class and very well matched. The battle between the Corvettes and the GT3's are always awesome especially considering the 12 and 24 hour races that 2 cars can still be on top of each other at the end. It was a great race with an unfortunate Nascar ending.
  3. I'm surprised no one has said it yet, but trade careers are booming, if you are good and can get your foot in the door. Automotive, Hair, Tattoo, Construction, Plumbing, etc. These are also jobs that do not base hiring so much on your education, but your experience. Don't get me wrong education is important, but right now I am getting way more out of the shop I am working at vs. what CSCC is teaching. It amazes me how some people in my classes are passing, why should they get a better job than someone who is a better tech just b/c they have a piece of paper? Most owners understand that Pre-Calc is not going to help you diagnose a car, or repair a pipe etc, and these are services that people need. Hair and tattoos not so much, but lets face it people still pay into these services even if the economy sucks. We are booked out at least a week to a week and a half with 2-3 days of tow ins per week. We cannot keep up hardly, the only time we seem to catch up is when it snows and we can get to the tow-ins a little sooner since the appointments re-schedule. I usually work 3 full time techs working almost 7-6 with our boss that picks up the quick diag., quick repair when we are really behind. People keep talking about when plumbers swing by and charge $200+ to repair what some people would call a small repair.
  4. Right Bergmeister had it happen to him at the 12 hours of Sebring in like '07 same kinda thing, but no wreck at the end. It's unfortunate b/c it was an excellent race considering the Corvette was obviously the better car.
  5. Just like the title says they are 17" OEM Infiniti G35 6 spoke wheels in Chrome, they came off a sedan. They are in decent shape, chrome is starting to peel on the outside of 1 wheel and 1 wheel is missing the center cap. They were re-chromed at the factory a couple years ago for this very problem under warranty. There is no curb rash on these wheels and they are straight, no bends. They are 5X114.3 bolt pattern don't know the offset. They would bolt onto my MR2, but I don't want to buy tires for them. Could make a great winter set for someone with a G35 or a 300zx, or something else w/ the same pattern. Asking $250, but shoot me an offer if you think it's too much and you want them. Worst I could say is no. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z39/crossle_sean/DSC02008.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z39/crossle_sean/DSC02009.jpg
  6. GL with sale, this is a super neat engine. Good guy to do business with....
  7. I asked the same thing, I was laughing so hard when I saw this.
  8. LOL WAT? What was I watching?
  9. Tennessee, I want to live in the sticks w/ a big garage. Plus have some badass roads that I have to drive on to get to my house.
  10. Jan was going to do whatever it took even if it meant bumping people out of the way, he would be an excellent nascar driver. Doesn't really look like Bergmeister turned into him, if anything Jan tried to bump him over at the finish and screwed himself over. Bergmeister was gonna keep him right on the wall though....
  11. Ridiculous night for sure, got to break the Subaru in properly.
  12. That was so much fun, I can't believe Sean got stuck within the first 10 minutes we were there! lol Sorry about the jeep Simmons!
  13. If people would clean their shit off and quit being in such a hurry it wouldn't be a problem....
  14. How is the motor blown? May be interested in the motor if you do this route.. You can find motors on Tigerjapanese.com to give you a reference on stock motor costs, plus harness and computer. It is essentially a drop in with minimal modification. Other than getting the right axles, drive shaft etc... Drinkitdown on here is preparing a EJ22T out of a Turbo Legacy to put into his 2.2 Impreza. He is quite knowledgeable on the subject as well.
  15. Not that bad to be honest, I was expecting worse. Needs to be RWD for sure, but it won't. Erica hates it....
  16. Troof, I LOVE the Forster after driving a MR2 for the last 2 years and a 2wd Ranger before that.
  17. How about Nicolas Cage pays his taxes???
  18. Saw 3 Audi's on the side of the road including one at the Kinnear exit on 315 spun almost into a pole and stuck...
  19. Here is the test lap in the wet from Top Gear as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tZVxsZ_D1A&feature=related
  20. PCA has not posted as of yet OVR SCCA has not posted as of yet ^autox
  21. I love how people stick on each others back bumpers and follow the tracks of other cars that have passed through. The line at Polaris exit Northbound was 3/4 of the way down the ramp and everyone was in the Right side left turn lane...wtf there are 2 left turn lanes the other one is snow that's all....
