No I am not leaving due to the cost of living. I have been looking for a better job throughout central florida for over a year. I cant find one. For the record I am a network Admin type, BS in CS, CCIE, MCSA, etc.

I have job offers on the table in San Antonio plus The company I co-own is based in San Antonio.

I love it here on the space coast, theres just not enough work in the IT field in Florida right now!

Quick...someone slap some sense into baglock!

How can you talk about getting rid of the Mustang after you just bought all those nice MM parts for it? We still need a Mustang contingent at the Autocrosses, you can't quit now.

I had a boat once. I well remember why it is called a hole in the water you pour money into.


I've never owned a boat, but I can tell you this, and the girlfriend will agree, a mustang is just a big a hole, just surrounded by four tires. :D

I'd probably just sell them at a loss and pass the savings on to y'all. But even if I do sell it, it'll be awhile so I'll probably still put them all in. I dunno...

Right now, the mustang is a hole in the asphalt I'm pouring $$$ into. Besides, as of late I just don't seem to get excited about anything car related. Probably just because I haven't done much car related lately.

What kind of boat are you thinking about getting Baglock? A ski, fishing, or performance boat?

I want a sailboat, something around 24-28 feet. The wife wants something powered for skiing or partying. As a compromise, I'm looking at a 28' cabin cruiser right now. It's a 100 to 1 chance I'll get it, but it's possible. Like I said, we want a new house first.
 
all i can say dan

i will be the 1st to say i do enjoy the time i spend with/ on my boat its a 19 foot ski bow rider with a 350 crate motor about 325 h/p or so its a blast great way to spend time with the wife an kids we just got a black lab puppy an she loves the water i ll take a day on the river over autox any day ohhh if you go to the right spot the view is awsome if you catch my drift:cool:


ive said it before you guys are always welcome just bring the beer we are going out this monday
 
I'll be there in my hunk-o-**** too. (Sigh) The tranny is slipping so bad through first gear that I can actually FEEL it. And slipping big time into second. Thank god I'm getting that hunk of **** out of there.... So the final question is...TCI Street Fighter, or B&M. Difference is a few hundred bucks...but the B&M comes with a shifter and the TCI doesnt, so they're basically equally priced for all intents and purposes.
 
What about a converter? I've been leaning towards the TCI for the tranny since it sounds well built and I get to pick my own shifter to throw on it... Thing is...the 3000 stall converter, I think that'd be a pain to run on a daily driver. What would it operate like? Would cruising at low rpms even be possible?? I'm not exactly sure what role the stall speed would play in a daily....but I might be reconsidering the 3000 stall. Problem is, I can't find a 2500 stall converter....
 
Well the stang still runs somehow.Finally got it home.It idles now for some reason but there is sound that sounds like a rod knocking away.Well then I had double wammy.The new cobra R bumper is now destroyed when we got it off the flat bed.Damn thing didnt last a week.This just ****ing sux.Theres 500 more down the drain and thats just the bumper.Looks like Im out of a car for I say 2 to 3 months.I dont have the money for the rebuild if that what it is.Chris I think is gonna look at here shortly to see what he thinks it is.Most likly how my luck been going of late it will need a new bottom end.Now I gotta get up at 4 am everyday to go work to get my moms truck or me and my dad cant get to work.First 1000 down in my computer now this a week later.This is just ****ing BS.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
