Cliffnotes of my post (well more of a rant) above:
1: I rotated advans in my driveway- inner front tires were down to the metal.....so unsafe to say the least, and about to have a blowout!
2: So with #1 mentioned, i needed to find two replacement tires for the time being, until i get my gramlights back from the powdercoater
3: AMS finally got my springs after over 1.5 months of waiting, and i let them know "how happy" i was about the long wait and how "it would be no problem" to ship them.....but then they say the shipping would be at my cost.....yea 1.5 months of waiting to ship an item i definately can wait longer for, then they are like only 150 miles away, and want me to pay shippin? Yea ill just pick them up!

Hey laak how do you like your xbox 360 elite? I may get one after my birthday this weekend with the $$, i think its definately worth the $80 upgrade over the premium...i mean 80 bux more for:
- 102 GB more of harddrive space (premium has 20gb, but only 12gb is usable; elite has 120gb)
- TRUE HDMI outputs and ability
- I read that they will be creating the ability to use the Xbox360 as a DVR box, and if that does happen i definately want the HD capacity!
- All black w/ black accessories, yes thats a advantage- this aint no fackin apple product!

I like it a lot but only because I have everything to make it a complete package now. If you're buying for future-proof(until next Xbox) and don't already have one then get the Elite.

So I am in Texas........This customer has a New shelby GT500 convertible sitting in front of his Red GT40 that is sitting in front of his wifes Silver GT40, and he has a full tube chasis 1968 body style GT500 on order for a resonable 225K.
but the only thing that matters is he let me take out the Red GT40!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahaha That car is sweet, if I had only had 160K I didn't know what to do with

I always thought the ford GT and the ford GT-40 were the same car, with "GT" just for a short name like "evo".
Because when i think of both of them, i know they are both the newer ford supercar that has a mid engine and usually has two racing stripes stock.
BUT when i think about it i thought i saw a version that was more to race/track specifications- with a rear diffuser, big rear wing, modified front bumper and air dam.
Someone clarify - because i thought and think i am right abt the gt and gt40 being the same.....yet until about a week ago i thought a Saleen Explorer didnt exist! (which it does)
Just for laughs the saleen explorer
