the more things change
yeah the g35 is in my price range. but i just can't think of paying for another car
right now, as much as i would like to get something else. what i need is
someone to give a turbo or supercharger to try out. and give me a smoother ride,
and better gas milage and no car payments...
hey i can dream can't i ..
good luck jake

HI long time no talk.........Our car was bought buy a family in N CA but they where going to give it to their son which lives in LA.
The decal in the back window is tint so if he wanted to take it off he would have to replace the tint. I'm sure thats why it's still on there.
Have a good day!
O one more thing..........We do have a lic plate

michael: smoother ride? What's wrong with the 8? Motor mounts going bad?
In a few months I'll be helping to install a Turbo on a local 8 so we'll make sure to give you a test ride in it when it's all done.

yeah what Michelle said.
though it sounded to me that they were going to take the car up there for a whle, then bring it down here when it was his turn to have it. (they were going to get the mom something else)
Maybe that has happened already... maybe they never did take it up there??? I duno.. but I do know their mailing address is up there.
I kept the front plate.
funny to see not a thing has changed sice I sold it to them. judging by the front wheel, it could use a bath.

So they flew people in from Florida to come to this meeting.
It lasted for a little over an hour, and now they are about to make several big changes to their dealerships (27 of them) based on my presentation.
These people have more faith in me than I have in myself. It is wierd when something that you see as being common sense is a huge revelation to them.
Sometimes it pays to be the guy on the outside lookin in.

I cant tell you how many times I have walked into something, and been like "this is stupid" and made suguestions, and they LOVE it.... and vise vera, many times I have been working on something and someone comes in and says "damn, your doing that the stupid way, try this".
It really does pay to have someone on the out side, a new set of eyes to simply look at something.

That is why we are not calling it a "meet".
From my place that is about 60 miles. And from San Diego it is about 61 miles.
So for a lot of folks, this would make a great Sunday drive through some really cool hills.
And although I have not tried it yet . .. . . I have heard it is EPIC PIE!!!

Marie Calenders is some pretty good pie.
But this 'moms' place must be something special. I mentioned it in front of a few people today at work . . . and they had even been there . .. just for the pie.
But who cares . . I am in it for the drive

ok so I took Jesses car for a drive the other day.
I went to his work to say hey and see if he wanted to go for a spin, but he was working on someone.... so I took his car alone to go get something out of my car (my personal car was not with me)
HOLY CRAP!!! That bitch ***** and gets!
boost comes on low and hard. you start feeling boost around 3k and are hitting full boost by 3800. the next 3k are gone within a half second. your slammin 2nd faster then you can think, once into 2nd and your right at the sweet spot, hit the gas and you pull to redline within a second. shift to 3rd, and again your right at the sweet spot. hit the gas and you hit warp speed. I never got out of 3rd as the stop lights are to damn close.
I never really got to get TOOOO stupid with the car. one I was on surface streets, so stop light to stop light was over in 3 seconds. and two, its not my car so the level of stupidity was much much lower. but lets just say that trip to motor pool was a new all time record.
The evo was fast before, now its just ludicrous.
ok so here is the best part, I get to motor pool (about a mile away and 15 stop lights) and I realize I left my keys in the county van back at the shop.... oh darn, I guess I will have to go back and get the keys and make the trip again.
This time I try to be a little more "normal driving" because I wanted to see how it did as a street driver. Now, I'm not saying its undrivable, because it is, but as a street driver it really does have to much power. if you short shift like crazy and keep the RPMs low, its fine, but this is, one, not fun, and two, harder then it sounds. you forget quickly how fast it is. so you take off from a light all normal, then boost hits and the bitch pulls like a raped ape... and you didnt even mean to. again, its not undrivable, but you do have to be cautious.
Moral of the story, the money was worth it. lots of bang for the buck. It’s a wickedly fast car, and a blast to drive….. it would be incredibly easy to get into trouble with the law.
Oh yeah, and as for the blow off valve…. Yeah its loud. I made the people in Riverside county wonder if there was a JGTC race going on close by. (I like)
DID I mention that there is a MEET THIS SATURDAY??????
MEET THIS SATURDAY??????
Meet this saturday?????
