Well hey it was a fun meet even though only 4-5 of us showed up. Still pretty good size seeing a bunch of dallasimport.net guys showed up.....good times though! oh yeah we saw a "mini" dodge caravan that had a turbo in it! haha no I am not joking.......the thing was about half the size of a normal van and it had a turbo in it......the guy claimed he can run 10's with slicks on his van....Then Tom (riley craven) and I took some nice roads with 90 degree turns on the way home...good times, hope to see more 8's out there in two weeks.

Yeah, I sent it to Scott first to let him go through it and if there was anything in particular he was telling you about last night he could send you those links...but I'll go ahead and give it to you too and let you navigate it-it's just a TON of stuff!

Ah, was wondering. See I think Scott actually has to work for a living. Meaning that he prob isnt surfuing the net at work like a crazy person (i.e. me) despite having to get 8 servers online (yeah still working on the first one)

Turns out I was mistaken, my bulbs were $3.49 each...even better, especially since I always mess up the first time and have to order basically a whole new set. Geez...

For the record, I know NOTHING of the quality of these, in case you guys haven't figured that out yet...but they look incredibly badass.
