Thumbs up Install - Part 2

Hey Guys, there are some more things to install, so people are welcome to swing by my place anytime after 11am, this Sat. PM me if you don't have my address.

I will provide water and promise to bring the BBQ around to the front for some burgers and dogs.

The highlight of the day will be Jay's new Mazdaspeed front. I think there are some spark plugs to change and a variety of other items...

If there is time, we can go for cruise

Scott, i would love to be there (although i've run out of goodies to install on my car) but this weekend is swamped for me.

Good luck with Jay's MS front. Hey someone let me know if you guys got those turn signal resistors installed after i had to split.

^ We did but couldn't find the screws, so I attached with electircal tape. Any extra screws for that plate? I tried Home Depot but they didn't have the right type.

You should have heard my wife talk about Greg... "He seems like such a good young man, just so nice. That other guy (Neo) was being kind of mean to him when they were changing my tires but he (Greg) was so calm and nice." I said, Greg? Nice? you've got to be kidding, he's a real bastard... HaHa j/k Greg

So anyways marc, you have some competition

Greg is great apprentice. lol
Just funny to see so much precaution taken to so many things. I remember when I use to be like that. Funny what the world does to you. lol

I'm going to try my hardest to come out this weekend. I've got to take care of something on the 6, and I need to get the Miata's oil changed.

I'm afraid of that damn MS front bumper! lol

definitly come out man. i can honestly say, it wont be the same without. i dont know if thats a good or bad thing. lol. forget getting the miatas oil changed thats your winter car anyways. and the 6 can wait. the only two possible excuses for not showing are your FD or your better half. end of story. thats right, thats the apprentice putting his foot down this time! lol

I didnt take neo as being mean, he was the supervisor. sometimes they have to lay down the law. haha.

^ She said that she is warming up to the brown man... thought he was a little cold at first LOL

Hope you can make it Neo, we need our Supervisor! What will young Grass Hopper do without you?

Just changed my oil today at one of the drive through lube places. Should have seen the young guys swarm the car, it was hilarious...
