Hey sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I'm trying to get Jim to come out but he's being retarded as in:
Andrew: "Jim, are you coming out tomorrow morning?"
Jim: "I just painted my calipers!"
Andrew: "that's cool....but are we going to meet up at 10?"
Jim: "I wonder how long they need to dry for....."

I'm on a kinda late schedule and I was gonna leave here before 10, getting to NYC by 11. would that be OK and we could meet up in queens around 10:45? If so, how about you just shoot up little neck parkway, and we can meet at this gas station:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...09656&t=h&z=17

If that's all too complicated I can just meet you in the bronx.

So just text me in the morning, sorry I lost your number.

If you take it to home depot or lowes they have a block that you can try screwing it into and find the one that fits. make sure you're using the metric block, cause it's definitely metric sizing. don't worry about the length or other stuff like that too much, it's just piping. at the same time USE ANTI-SEIZE when putting it back together, the gasses in there are a billion degrees (and by 1 billion I mean ~1800 deg F) and threads will definitely fuse together.

haha yeah the 8 is deffinately a "i can most definately get into trouble" car to drive. The 8 taunts you into giving it more and beating it next thing you know you are 130 mph w/out trying...but be mindful next bro it takes allot of dicipline not to get crazy in the 8...

Well at least no points thats a good thing. But I assume the speeding ticket still affects your insurance at some point?

just get a set of wheels that support TPMS thats what I and allot of other guys have done.

and if you are asking for advise on not getting speeding tickets - shift @ 4K by the time you get to 4th gear you should be around 60/65 in most case they wont hassel you, lol...thats what I do and it helps conserve gas which im sure by now you know you bought a hog that loves to eat a lot. once im around 60-70 im in 6th just to cruise and conserve gas and get the best mpg as posible.

only other suggestion is take the lead out of your foot and shoes, lol
