Those wheels don't look too bad at all. 18.1 lbs, so you're losing 16 lbs of unsprung weight total? I think stocks are 22.

If you want it done let me know, and let me know how you're going to pay for it
13th is a tight timeframe! Hopefully there will be enough time to drive it out to me before I have to leave I have my TMO briefing tomorrow where they will fill me in on all the information I need to have the car shipped, as well as having all my crap picked up from your house to be shipped to me.

I'll probably send you the money and have you give it to Angel's. Let me know how much it ends up being.

Are you serious? this is way out of character for you. You know you will need to take atleast 2 days off of work, like thurs and fri and take the weekend to get it there and fly back right?

it's not like the military doesnt have transports crossing the ocean every day.. hopefully it's done in time but you might want to just start putting feelers out about what to do if it isnt

I've repacked most of you stuff into plastic tubs so it's easier to store. Do I need to put your name, loc, ID # or anything on them?

I have to be the one to drop the car off because I need my military ID and 7 copies of my orders to go with it.

If I could give someone enough money to completely cover the trip down to me I would. Unfortunately the military pays **** until I graduate tech school. I literally get $470 every 2 weeks to put into my bank account. I had to ask my parents to cover my bills until after tech school because I just didn't make enough. Which I ******* hated doing, probably one of the worst things I've ever had to do.

Once I get to Germany and get promoted, I'll be making $2k/mo which doesn't sound like a lot, but I don't have to pay for food or housing or anything like that, and I also get to buy cheaper gas on base. I won't even have my car for a month either.

I had my TMO briefing today, and Matt I'm not sure if you have to mark my crap, it was just an intial briefing. I get a one-on-one breifing next week. They told me that I just need to put your name on the paper and as long as you're there you can release my stuff to the AF. I'll keep you updated when I find out more info.

We're trying to figure out how we are getting the car to you. I'm busy this weekend and next. What day do you ship out so we can know when we need to get this together. I'm thinking the extra paint job will have to wait, we just need to get your out of the shop.

On a side note, I was thinking of going to:

On the 20th or the 27th... ALL YOU CAN EAT MEAT!!!

UC Meet Friday (tomorrow)?

Is there a Union City meet tomorrow? The last two weeks nobody showed up (I think everyone went to D&B the first of those two).
