hey guys!

i just changed my oil and fuel filter quick after work. the next 3 weeks are going to be VERY busy for me at work. one guy quit, and another is on a 3 week vacation in india. i hate the place and the people but overtime makes for nice paychecks.

i hope to get my 203* thermostat in sometime this week, i need to order the steel housing/pipe tomorrow. nobody makes a fancy billet one for my OBS.

Probably not...I think it would be to try to capture...recapture if you will...some market share. Advances in engine/transmission technology will help meet new CAFE standards...and...that could be applied to any chassis. Afterall...the 4 Runner gets about the same fuel economy...and we can't keep those on the lot.

Hi Aaron!

I think we are going on Sunday morning.
It depends on my sister-in -law watching the kids.
Maybe we will see you there.
