Health inspector?

Once I get back to CO, and buy a house, you betcha I'm gonna build a shop!!!!! Tired of scraping ice and snow. DONE. This will be the last winter.

So what kinda ideas you have?

Dang, we need to get Brendan a case for his phone.

A bunch of good looking men in tool belts and powerstrokes..like I said, sounds awful.

Auto cad, yes!!! Only real restriction is height. Most counties in CO require the garage to be a foot shorter than the house, ..but you can cheat and grade the property in such a way that you can build a taller garage. I'd like 10-12' doors if possible so even the taller SDs will fit.

Well, maybe not DREAM car, but for an everyday, incredible versatile well balanced ride... yep. Let's see.... with some mild-ish injectors, tuning, etc. it can be a 13 sec. car in the 1/4mile, have a top speed around 150mph, and still pull down mid to hi 40mpgs. The Audi/VW all-wheel-drive system is phenomenal. Dan could probably explain better, but basically they just STICK. They're (IMHO) very classy and elegant looking; not flashy, but not a "civic" type of econobox either. The fit, finish, and just solid feel of the cars is, to me, impressive. Just overall a very well rounded, capable, fun and affordable car to drive.

Dream car? 68 Shelby GT500KR Convertible or 67 Cobar 427SC

Could you cheat and add a widow's watch?

My dream "car" is an International CXT. Does that make me weird?

If you can hold your phone in your buttcrack and walk, successfully, without it falling out, I'm impressed.
