Ken, are your neochrome lugs closed end?

no, mine are open SR48's, i think they were called. :D i dont run closed lugs on tuner type wheels on my hobby car.

for your dd though, closed end is easier to blow out the water after rain/wash.

:icon17: actually not all for me, two of them are for my kids' stocking stuffers. :D

at least their santa wont be f-king up their requests. :mad:

woot, one less G on the road driven by some kid. :D

more like it took them 100 years to find enough fuel to start it... :ugh2:


:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

aha, saw the fiat clip :tup:

wow, thing's like you're sitting in the engine bay... lol

so i put the mailman tip into my buddy's bday present budget, and bought it. :rofl2:

wat to do with the 20 bucks i saved. :tup:

so after about a month or so of my rc trucks and cars crashing and breaking, still crashing on occasion, but no broken parts. :D

mainly from making the weak bits robust (including better radio), and making the track more crash friendly. no uncovered metal shelf legs, etc. of that nature. :ugh:

nice deal on a nib v1 :tup:

Just got a call that the shop we dropped the 350z off at took it for a road test and the tech got into an accident. We dropped it off for an oil change, no idea why it was even on a road test. It's not drivable so we're on our way back from downtown to figure it out. :shakes head:

wtf... :shakes head: sorry to hear.


should've taken it to MJG... aka mr. jar's garage. :shakes head:
i hear he takes beer not cash.

so, wat do you charge for labor?


2 cans/hr.


:confused:

that will be 1 can to do the oil change...



:confused:

mmm.... btw....

wtf........?

not sure but even those guys didnt take that fiat for a joyride after the 100yr fix. :shakes head:

Jan will be the time I took the two 1/10th sedan out of their caves and prepare for the national event... :tup:

sounds like fun :tup:

i dont race competition any more. just in my basement track with my kids. :D hahaha

i still have one more chassis to build this xmas holiday. :p

mr. jar stepped in and disappeared... :confused:

he must be checking his fridge for beer inventory... :rofl2:


yep yep, im good. business is closed today.

:hello:

There is plenty at the house :tup: I am at the office :ugh:

:hello: glad it's not the other way around. chaos :icon17:

that's like a sh!t load of diet-pepsi.... :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Mr.kenchan, that's less headache and more fun....


:tup::tup::tup:

:rofl2: i buy by the 20ft ocean containers... :tup: :ugh2:

yah, honestly it is. i can play at my own pace when i want and not having to worry about my gear getting stolen is a good feeling. ive had buddies of mine get their expensive radios stolen, lathes, motors, batteries. :shakes head:

that was in socal.

Test drove a Jetta TDI today. Underwhelming. Asked for the MT version just to get a better feel for the engine power band. Torque is good across the board, but definitely needs a tune for some lower end throttle response - its super muted below 3K RPMs to boost the mpg rating apparently.

i'd get an accord sport 6MT sedan in that price range. :tup:
4banger but it's fairly quick in the 7's for 0-60mph.

vw's are so :yawn: these days.

i remember the scocal event... it's HUGE....

I don't think the Accord is in the same price range. The Jetta is like 21K new fully loaded. Accord is pushing 25K with the same technology.

I think we're going to have to step up to the Accord range though. Maybe something a year old with <10K miles.

yah, even the local races were big. :D

yah, i was thinking more in terms of sedans in the 20K range.. but looking at the vw tv ads, i suppose the jetta is cheaper than the accords. :D

It felt cheaper, that's for sure. 112 miles on the car, and I hear a plastic rattle from the dash :ugh:

Nothing much.
Working really hard lately.

Mass company wide email came out today. 5-8s schedule for the entire site next week (normal is 4-10s). Guess why?

500 people (of 2000+) may get layoff notices on thursday/friday if Federal Gov't budget doesn't include funding for our project. They want everybody on site when they find out so you can get your notice-clean out your desk-turn in your badge-and hit the road jack. :eek:

Other than that...hope you are all having a better day than ms. pint. Or me.

P. S. This is kind of normal for govt contract work and workers.

:tiphat:

I sure wish whoever is moving the icons around would STOP!

:hello:

:p

:ugh2: that would be difficult to deal with.

msbc- wow, that is :eekdance: hope you dont get laid off. that would be so terrible this time of year. :eekdance:

getting f-ked by santa and all... :mad:

charburgers and fries tonight! :yum:

i asked wife not to get me the cheeze fries this time to cut down on the calories somewat.... even a little bit counts. :icon17:
