It's that time again. So who's in this week?

1. Brandon (lindsay and her cousin, from out of town, haven't decided yet.. we may be too geekish for her! hehe)
2. who else?

-----edit-----

Looks like most people are either out of town or out of commission. Going to call a pass for this week and pick up again in two more weeks. See yall May 4th.

If I can ever get of this working so $&@ #$*&$# much stage, I might make it. I'll come show off the neon.

I've been talking to a new owner from Lewisville. I may see if I can get him to go.

Yes, the clutch is in.

The keyless remote won't even work. I really hope the battery is not drained again. That means something is obviously causing the drain... and i'm hoping its not the interceptor.
I'll post again when i get back from the dealership.

From Beltline & the Tollway, go west on Beltline and it will be on the north side of the street after you pass Hooters and Magic Time Machine.

There *might* be some there (not sure if Slim is going to make it or not... and there are some that just don't post one way or the other), but if anyone is there, it'll be a small group prolly. If this is your first go, prolly better to wait till the next one when a larger amount of the core group is going.

Well i just got back, and here's the update...

When the roadside guy came, he tried jumping the car but his portable jumper wasn't strong enough. Then he tried with the truck, and that wasn't enough. Then he put the two together and we got it to turn over.
Oh, he also mentioned the car was too low to tow.

At the dealer we checked the battery load. The battery once charged had the normal amount of juice in it. We tested it with the car off... completely seperate from the car, connected to the car, and connected to the car with interceptor... they all had the same readings.
We're thinking i may have left one of the lights on (again). I guess i'll find out if it dies again.

Also at the dealer two people came out while i was leaving and wanted to talk cars. One of the guys said his Mazda 6 was putting 500 whp down with his 100 shot of nos, with a ported motor. He also said his friend who's a mechanic adjusted his gearings for him. I didn't look too close at the car, but it had tons of NOS stickers and the worlds largest aluminum spoiler. I call BS on the 500whp and lower gear ratio.

and thats my update for the last two hours.

I just realized i forgot to put one of the gaskets on when installing the midpipe... i guess its back to the garage for me.

Ouch Harry. I hope it's something simple like leaving a light on. Otherwise, you've got gremlins!

I wound up bailing on tonight. Worked late, then found out my apartment complex was serving free dinner (tacos), so I figured, having recently moved to Dallas, I would use this as an opportunity to meet people who live in my complex.

I found out I have a brand new next door neighbor who is very cute. She moved in 1.5 months ago and I had no clue (yes, work too much).

Harry has gremlins. hehe
