Morning MN.

Well it's Monday, yuck. But I get to share my Monday with all you guys. I feel special.

That sucks Chris! I think It has to be the tuner to help cause the failure. Don't you still have a warranty? Seems like low miles for a tranny to go bad already. You should rebuild or replace with a beefier one. Looks like a GTG is coming up.

Well time to make the donuts.

Hey guys! Happy Monday morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend and got to enjoy the weather!

I kept trying to get online this weekend, but my landlords left town friday and unplugged the internet before they left. How thoughtful of them...ugh. Two more months!

The truck was in stock and unlimited tow for the trip. It wasn't the tuner.

Happy birthday to someone here that I don't know. You have great weather for it.

Howdy Jim. Stick around. Most of us are alright.

Kids are in bed and I'm sitting down watching Footloose (new version). The little TV looks like crap. Even worse with copy protection kicking in because I have to run it through the VCR. I can't wait to get to GT to get our big a$$ TV. It's only a 36" but it's a tube so it's a heavy SOB (around 180lbs).

Looks like everyone around here had a great day. Anyone productive?

Congrats to your son Jim. My son got 1st in his den (our of 3), so he's going to districts as well. This despite me splitting the car in half down the centerline trying to put the weights in it.
are yours required to be bolted on like Jim? we hollowed out the base, and put the weight in there. Then, went to the grocery store and left it .05lbs over weight. Brought a drill with, and set it to the scale at meet. lower center weight+better aero=faster car... just sayin

I see. Well, at least it is one less issue then.
I like mine. I stacked them to create extra room.
