Don't even start.

A) My kit is at least paint matched.
B) My body kit, once again, probably cost more than everything on his car.

Hahahaa..

*edit*

Wait a second.. their car is silver. You sure you haven't done any recent upgrading to YOUR car?

One of my lights in my gauge cluster went out. Dealership/AutoZone don't have the bulbs. Any ideas where I can pick one up?

The bulb costs $2.50, not looking to pay the $10 in shipping all the online websites want...

Oh, and I'm in Boulder. The closer the better

By the way.. if anyone is interested, this is the response I got back from Senator Heck after filling out that rebuttal on them possibly getting rid of e-85. From the sound of it, we can begin to kiss it goodbye.



"Dear Mr. Green,



Thank you for contacting me in support of including 85% ethanol blends (E85) in the Alternative Fuel Tax Credit. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.



As you may know, the 50-cent per gallon Alternative Fuel Tax Credit applies to alternative fuels such as natural gas or propane. While I support the development of renewable fuel sources that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I have serious concerns about the necessity of government subsidies for ethanol production. The non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) estimates that the federal government spent between $6-8 billion in support of the production and use of ethanol in 2009. Yet bio-fuel consumption remains low at roughly 4.3% of America's total energy consumption. In addition, corn-based ethanol production consumed nearly one-third of the U.S. corn harvest in 2009, raising serious concerns of unforeseen consequences in agricultural markets.



You may be interested to know that I have introduced H.R. 470, the Hoover Power Allocation Act of 2011, which has passed in both the House of Representatives, as well as the Senate. H.R. 470 authorizes the continued allocation of electricity from Hoover Dam for the next 50 years, until 2067. This legislation is essential to the millions of consumers who invested in this renewable source of energy over the past 75 years because it will continue providing them with Hoover power and allow new customers to benefit from this low-cost energy.



Currently, no legislation including E85 in the Alternative Fuel Tax Credit is being considered before the House of Representatives. Please be assured, I will keep your comments in mind should legislation regarding this issue be brought to the House floor. Furthermore, I will continue to support reasonable legislation that reduces our dependence on foreign oil, promotes economic stability and spurs job creation in the United States.



For additional information, please visit my website, http://www.heck.house.gov. From this site you can access statements about current events or pending legislation, and receive detailed information about the many services that I am privileged to provide for Nevadans.



Again, I appreciate your thoughts and it is an honor to serve you in Congress. Your suggestions are always welcome, and if ever I may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. "

^^ Such a politician. His reply is worthless.

"corn-based ethanol production consumed nearly one-third of the U.S. corn harvest in 2009, raising serious concerns of unforeseen consequences in agricultural markets"

So basically what he's saying with that quote is instead of paying farmers to NOT grow corn, the government can save that money and that will cover the HUGE portion E-85 takes of it.

Or maybe I'm in the denial stage of letting my 30psi get away...
