    Took Some Pics

    Very clean :nice:. Have you got plans to make it silly fast? Or turn it into a road racing machine? Or is this just going to be a cruiser & daily driver?

    Nicely done

    Yet again someone has to be educated that private property is still a public road. Duh. Err... what?

    OMG

    Only if you are required to have an SR-22 on file with DMV, and if you're the registered owner of the car. You might want to find out why the state thinks you're required to have an SR-22 on file. If they think it, and you don't do it, they'll suspend your license.

    OMG

    What did you do to get on SR22 status? That's a crappy situation to be in, but it's nice to see that it appears to work. You're not the first person I've heard of lately who's been nabbed by it.

    Starbucks (Fri or Sat)

    I think I'll stay in my nice warm house :D. If the newsies are right, there will be rain and snow tomorrow evening. Not the kind of weather that makes me want to go stand outside in a parking lot :shrug:.

    I just dropped my registration in the mail for the March 15th event. Now I better find some new tires, since my Pirellis are nearly bald. I'm thinking of getting a set of Bridgestone RE-01R's. Good enough for an HPDE, but good for daily driving as well. And I suppose I should make sure my...

    starbucks

    The weather forecasters (and I use that term loosely) are now guessing it will rain after all on Friday & Saturday. Thanks for predicting five days of dry weather. At least the car is clean now just in time to get filthy again in a couple days :lol:.

    Starting to get a bit out of hand

    If I were you, Cory, and I could get 50K for my car, it would be for sale already :D. I like your Saleen, but 50K is 50K and if someone is ready to pay that ... :nice:

    EPA tells CARB to get bent

    I disagree ;). It's either just as fair, or just as unfair, depending on how you want to word it. Tax them all, or tax none of them. The people who want a big truck can pay the tax, just like the people who want a GT500.

    EPA tells CARB to get bent

    Except CAFE isn't calculated using highway MPG, it's calculated using combined city/highway, which is about 30 for your Focus. That really brings home the kind of changes we're going to see -- they have to increase the average fuel economy of all cars by about 40%. Well, depending on the model...

    EPA tells CARB to get bent

    They could start by requiring pickups to meet the same fuel efficiency requirements as cars when purchased by noncommercial users. The idea that a GT500 comes with a gas guzzler tax while some soccermom can go buy an Expedition for the urban jungle without paying a tax is absurd. Level the...

    EPA tells CARB to get bent

    By itself, good news. But then there's the 35 MPG CAFE requirement in 12 years. Even the Focus has trouble meeting that, and it's probably one of Ford's most fuel efficient vehicles. It's gonna get ugly, stock up on performance cars while they still exist.

    2009 Mustang VS 2010 Mustang

    GM has repeatedly said the Camaro will be priced to compete directly with Mustang. Although the Camaro looks awfully good, they may be tempted to up the price slightly just because they know people will pay more for the looks. Ford needs to freshen up the Mustang quite a bit to compete...

    Best Shops in Or to get work done

    Depends on the parts you go with, and the incidental costs. You're likely to exceed 3K easily unless you go with really inexpensive parts.
