  1. she seems ok , its just been so rough and i miss having family and friend near.
  2. I don't even know what to think, wife called me up and said her blood doctor thought she may have lupus and they were running more tests..... Being out here alone with no friends has made for a shitty time so far.
  3. I just used uship.com and the car is supposed to drive tomorrow
  4. Fuck it, I'm legal now. I've smoked for years to deal with my pain and I've been on hard pain killers prior and they sucked and made me useless at the levels required to dull the back pain.. For the record I used to walk with a cane prior to my Discectomy(SP). I just moved to cali for a Senior Security engineer role.
  5. currently the bolt on record is 270whp i believe.
  6. Because it's what my wife wanted. And the Civic don't pickup 20-40whp with just a tune. I also got the car for 20k
  7. So my wife has always pretty much just got my hand me downs in the past and never had the chance to get herself a new car, So after some discussions and testing it came down to a Turbo Beetle or a Turbo Veloster. Normally I would not buy a new car but since we found a 2013 still sitting on the show room the dealer was quite motivated to move it. So now she's the proud owner of a Pearl White Turbo Veloster! After she got home from her first real drive in it, I asked her if it was quick enough for her and she smiled and said. I was on West broad and ran into a civic with a fart pipe and I whooped his ass from a stop light . http://www.40roll.com/SHO/mandycar.jpg It's a strange little car but holy shit if it don't have some pep and get GREAT gas milage.With me driving it I was seeing 32-36 on freeway and 20-25 in town.
  8. Actually my current plan is to put a small trailer behind the SHO and take my boxes out there. I might try to condense what I have left even more but I'm not sure if i can. Were down to family items. I'd love to ship a few of my items but i think its just going to work better me taking a solo road trip with my dogs.
  9. So looks like I'm going to ship one of my cars and fly back and drive one of them with my dogs and stuff
  10. I have sold pretty much everything sans like my ps3 / ps4 / my pc and monitor. Only reason I have not sold these items is the overrall cost. I don't have time to drive out there I start worrk monday. The issue is that sirva drug things out and now im in a huge pinch.
  11. I have but even then just family momentos and such still is more then a trunk load.
  12. WOW Never heard of this before now. cars are coming in ~1200-1300 Shipping my stuff who knows
  13. Yeah for real. I called up sirva and I asked them if they were getting kick backs from there "Preffered Vendor" they would not comment and Then I pointed out that they were over 2x as much in most cases. Since I have a 15k budget for moving (LinkedinProvided) they are trying to spend every last penny. I have a feeling I had included my dogs in the quote they would have gave me almost the same pricing.. Scam I've talked to linked in and apparently I'm one of the first few people to use this new method of relocation and I made it very clear that I was unhappy with the results.
  14. I know I've got plenty of seat time in lots and lots of cars making stupid Power.. I really look forward to and fear the coming automated cars. Part of me knows that it would increase productivity and reduce accidents but at the same time it kills my favorite part about driving.... DRIVING
  15. So that was my first plan and the shipping companies won't allow it. most of them said i could put up to 100lbs in the trunk and others said nothing. no matter what its cheaper then my BULLSHIT quote. They quoted me 13k to move my stuff not including my animals....
  16. As many of you know I'm moving to Cali very soon and sadly the logistics company has fucked me over on my move (I'm forced to use them) and now I need to figure out a alternate way to get my stuff there. What I need to move. 2 cars and random boxes. Would like to also take a few larger items but honestly depending on the costs of getting them there Id rather replace them. option1. Fly back to columbus and drive one of my cars out there packed with stuff and ship the other car. This option doesn't permit me to get my bed or dressers or a few other larger items I'd like to keep. Option2. Pay someone to drive one or both of my cars out there with loaded trunks and just buy new stuff. This costs me 2 plane tickets and gas and room and board but also gets my dogs there in a less stressful manner. Option3. Rent a Uhual and take my bed and large items and tow one of my cars behind it. ^ This option makes me nervous a little as i've had some bad uhual type experiances Option4. A pod maybe? or box my stuff in a create and ship freight?? I dunno Any ideas would be great..... I also may need to leave a car behind as my wife is back on the hospital and may have to come to cali at a later date.
  17. So I had the chance to drive the 200c the other day during my hunt for a new car. I was super impressed with the driver assists and just how well they worked. I was curious if anyone else had the chance to drive a car with them and there thoughts. I can easily see my next car having the ability to drive it self in this manngerr.
  18. how late are you guys going to be there?

    Wow Ray very anticali I replaced one of the cars now i'm up in the air on the other one.
  21. Nice, Are you running LMS Mycal? right now I'm planning to do Air Raid Intake LMS Mycal stage 3 91 When that feels slow I'm going to add water meth
  22. MPG wise has been horrible but i can't keep my foot out of it. It just puts smiles ear to ear. avg 17.6
  23. Thanks I can't wait to get her tinted
  24. Traded in the Wife's Outback (she took the G35x) and I picked up a SHO. Before I drove it I didn't think I would like it. But after taking it for a test drive I feel in love with the Ride and low end grunt. For now she's going to stay mostly stock Sans some Window Tint and maybe powder coated rims. In the future I'm sure she will receive some go fast bits Overall I think she will serve quite nicely as a DD. http://www.40roll.com/SHO/20140622_165149.jpg http://www.40roll.com/SHO/20140622_165208.jpg DAT ASS
