Whole lotta money!

Hey everyone!

I just spent the past few days ordering parts for my 8 thats waiting for me back in Hawaii. I am gonna have my budyd there to email me pics as all the stuff gets installed. Sucks that I still have 5 months or more until I can drive it again. lol.

oh, and sorry that I don't really post much, being deployed, usually all I do is check my mail real quick when I get online. It will be a blast to drive my car again, the island of Oahu has some awesome twisty roads to shoot around, and long freeways to fly on. .........AAGGGHHHH! I even have dreams where I am driving my car...lol. Then I wake up and I'm like, " crap"

That sucks. Kinda enjoying it by ordering parts, but not being able to actually sit in it and feel the difference.

5 months... what unit are you with? I had a feeling that I may be one of your replacement. And yes, I do drive an 8 too.
