I suppose we could, but then I'd just sit there spending money on beer, spending money on brief contact with ta-ta's, and oogling the varied assortment of female nakedness... Ummm, when we goin'?
Well y'all, just got done with my first demo outside of my parents. It was with Alli's parents (hot girl i took to military ball/madly in love with). Since they have a lot of $$$, I was hopping for more, but all I they bought was one knife. 
Well, $22 for 1 hour of work isn't so bad, I guess. Didn't even get any leads from them. This isn't starting off so well.

Sounds like you need to pressure the buyer a little more. Next time tell them that if they don't buy more knives, you're going to leave a couple extra in... er, with them

"Are you sure you're not interested?"
//Erich pulls out large carving knife\\
"Um, yes, we're sure."
"Really?"
//Erich waves knife threateningly at them, while keeping voice calm\\
"Um, actually, ya know what..."

Whats up guys!! Erich Baglock and White!
I haven't been on here in a while. I am trying to talk the wife into driving the GT up on Saturday afternoon.
I have lots of new goodies on the RX-7 now. I'll show you next Saturday. I have a friend/mechanic following me up on Saturday to help me dial in the car,....hint. One new item is a rebuilt tranny, yes my tranny was shot too!! Its nice to shift gears and NOT grind anymore. While it was on the lift I... well went pretty nuts on the mods. You'll see.
I'll keep working on the wife to drive up in the afternoon with the GT so I can bring it out to Hooters with you guys. It sounds like its gonna be a blast.
BTW - Be careful with the magnetic signs for your cars if you have them. With all this wet weather we have had they tend to etch the clear coat on the paint. I am still buffing out my RX-7.
White are you planning on running the S-10 in the AutoX?? I think it would be a blast.

Glad to hear you'll be up Jim.
And I just picked up my magnets today (finally). After seeing the damage on yours, I won't be putting mine on till I get there. And they'll be off right after. I need a few more body mods in the garage before I plan to paint the car... the hood, rear deck, front fascia... you get my drift. 
Hey Guys ... long time no speak. Well i'm back. From going down to Miami and Working, and my computer being broken, i haven't been on for like a week. But oh my gosh, Miami is different. It was weird driving down the street. being passed by a honda, and hearing a turbo.
Oh and i got my first speeding ticket kinda. I got a ticket for accelerating quickly pretty much. According to the cop i spun my tires, which i didn't do, because i know that would get me a ticket. And even though the cop didn't get me on radar, "he could just tell" i was speeding (which is totally not true). So i now have a ticket for careless driving. *my first real ticket
Ok, now if you guys are ready for more news, i'm selling the Camaro. I decided like a week ago, and it's up for sale right now. So i completely made up my mind, i need something that'll get me better gas mileage.
So, what has been up with you guys. I would go and check all the pages, but i'm just too lazy.

Well welcome back, untouchable. Glad to hear that you're selling the Z, but what are you looking at buying? Better gas milage? Hope you're not looking at an Import...

Actually - I had my ass handed to me by a '00 GT with a Diablosport Chip and Steeda Cat-back I was in my RX-7 and MTV was filming the race. This was about 2 months ago. I thought my RX-7 was fast but always thought my GT was faster this confirmed it.
It was ugly for me. The GT had me by about 3 cars at the top of third and was starting to really walk away when we shut down.
BTW- I wasn't using my NOS. So..Baglock you and I would probably be pretty close. Especially since I cannot use my NOS until I get my engine rebuilt.
I love my RX-7 AND my GT just as much. They are both a Blast to drive. Sometimes I really want to take my GT out to a AutoX just to see how it wil do.

well, everyday of my life gets better and better. Looks like my failry new 80 gig hard drive took a nose dive as bad as my car. I knew I should've burned those car movies when I had a chance.

Well I put my trans in yesterday. So far nothing but problems. I have no 2nd gear and the transmission will cause the car to stall out if I try to put it in neutral, reverse, or park. Whats strange is I can start it up in park and move the shifter down to 1st gear with no problems, but if I try to move the shifter forward into the next gears while sitting there idleing, the car will just die. I am hoping this is just a linkage problem not a tranny problem. I already sent Performance Automatic a email about my problems but I won't get a reply about my problem till monday. Besides that, the car pulls like a mofo in first and 3rd, I am just wondering how it would feel if I had 2nd though
