Dunno, but we will be doing a sound check that morning.

I was thinking about an 07 or so STI... but IDK, I also looked at EVO's but well again the Interior leaves me saying meh.

I guess I have some time while I am sitting here at work standing up a server and I am starting to think again about selling the Vette for something that's a step up. I would love another FD RX7 but this time with an LS swap however those are much harder to come by but def. in my price range should I find one that meets my standards.

Figured why not ask some of the car guys here... I was even thinking about a Delorean and doing an LSx build and being goofy by adding in a flux capacitor lol.
Here is my vote: Best handling production car I've ever driven. If you miss your apex by an inch, don't blame the car!

Excellent choice I had forgotten about that but getting one around 20-25k might be hard.

I always wanted to take an s10 and incorporate a front sub frame from a Cadillac with a north star to the back and put the bed back on with a tonneau cover over the top and make a mid engine mini truck with 325 HP.

I am not really a truck person though, I try but I just don't like the feel.

I don't blame you. There's a reason I've never done it, but I think it'd be pretty cool minus the fact that it's still an s10.

Gotta take a screen shot right now for my wife.... I just noticed the number of Thank's I have and I know she will smack me for it.

On a different note, tonight's progress.

Did my tap a talk die or has nothing been posted today.

This app makes it such a pain to watch threads you have participated in. I dont get anything in the "participated" section.

It's a Honda- It will probably stay together even. I'll gladly contribute free driving instruction any time. Not saying you need it. Just offering.

I know I did but I had decided to put some money into my Retirement accounts and leave some money for modifications. I did find one NSX though I will keep watching it and see what happens but I think its not going to happen.
