I'd leave the center caps as they are.

Anyways the prize is $5k... That means the car could get FI'd if I won....... I think I'm going back to the gym today to learn more about this challenge and what I can do to win

6' and 185??

I'm 5'6" and 165!!!



Though it could be muscle weight and not fat, I think. Working at UPS for a whole year chucking boxes (sometimes 60-85lbs) around really gets you fit! Been 3 years since ive left.

Too bad they can never match my current pay, unless I get into corporate where I will still be sitting on my ass all day.

That would probably end up with me wrapped up in netting while a gang of bushy tailed thugs ate sunflower seeds and laughed at me.




Actually I tried netting the second time I did it. It slowed them down by about 20 seconds a seed.

I'm 5'8 195 mostly fat though. I always pickup 10 lbs in the winter however because I stop riding my bike.

Lol I have just plain black steel lugs. My wheels are matte graphite with red center caps.. So I would say it's not that big of a deal..

Hahaha on a serious note I think I might plant just a few of the seeds I didn't throw out or cook from last years harvest just to gamble on no frost. Maybe they'll grow extra tall and I can win something at a fair...

Haha I know the feels.. I had a 03 wrx that had a loud af bov.. I had a guy in a miata pull up next to me after hearing my bov and said "is your car turbo'd????" I said no. and then he tried to race me.. Actually have been considering another turbocharged 4 door (evo x) but then remind myself why I got into the frs in the first place.

6 inches difference with only 20 pounds difference?.. I don't see that much of a physical difference honestly.. We could actually be very similar. Now if I were to reach my goal that would be a completely different story when I was in high school I weighed around 170-175 lbs and I was still 6 feet tall. It also helped that I played baseball and football as well back then

I think I went to sleep too early this morning, woke up waaaayyy too early as a result.

Back to my nap I suppose.

Funny story time.

So a about a week ago I added a second name to one of the sales guys info for his car (I work for service) as a joke. The second name was big dummy (his nickname) and it shows up on his work order under his name and we all had a good LOL about it. So today he got a paycheck and it turns out it was a system wide change. His paycheck says "big dummy" right under his name. Needless to say the whole dealership is making fun of him today and now he has to go to a bank and cash that! hahahaha!!
