sitty sitty (yeah I said sitty) camera phone.

the rear shot of the Audi I was walking sideways, but the other shots were still. and yeah it was getting dark in all the pics but the building.

Saw a DB9 yesterday and a couple ferarris the other day.

the RX8 did not have the front bumper, and was very dirty.

The DB9 is the best looking car, ever. I've never seen one in person except at car shows. Nice R8, I've yet to see one of those in person, period.

I couldnt beleive how big/wide the R8 was! it was much like a Ferrari or Lambo... very large. it was freakin sweet!


I am here for worm / training / school..... how ever you want to look at it.

I am looking forward to coming back tomorrow. I hate it here, I have been here since Sunday. I am not a big city kinda guy. bums on every street corner asking you for money, simple diner cost $15 at a diner, there is no such thing as driving yourself. IF you do, you dont simply park and get out. If you find a parking lot, it cost $24 to park there (someplaces more like $35 - $45.... I just dont see why anyone would want to come here. but then again, I am not a big city kinda guy.

I am more of a drive myself, park in a parking lot for free (go figure), eat diner for ~$7, and not get asked 15 times for change from one building to the next.


Anyone seen the price of Silver/Gold recently? Silver is over $20 an ounce, and Gold is $1,000. I like to collect silver (I even have a 1/10 ouce of gold (WOOO) )

If this means nothing to you, When I got into silver 3 years ago, I was paying $10 an ounce and I thought that was high, My dad used to pay $5 an ouce when I was paying attention to him buying it maybe 5 years before that.

Gold and Silver seem to go with the economy. the worse the economy, the more Gold, Silver, Platnum, Rhodium, even copper are worth.

Just a tid bit of useless information for the day.

I just wish I didnt sell off most of my silver a couple years back.

Cesar, got my tv working....but didn't stay up much later...so should be online now again.

Calendar update....actually saw ghost....so all has been completed with the calendar. Everyone has their calendar, and Loren has all his money. We'll just have to see if there is any interest come next year. I am glad that we made this one though...kinda a tribute to the cars we have seen come and go.

the ebay guys were saying that mouse pads work on sound, but reduce the sensitivity of the drum pad.

When was the last time you saw someone being 'sensitive' on drums?

I play drums like animal from the muppets. You gotta bang'em hard.

Well getting back to the P5 tire rubbing issue. i took a picture with my cell phone and a blue light (didnt come out very well) and it doesnt look like it is rubbing but what just occured to me is if the strut is bad then it may rub only when the front need is bouncing (left front). you say again the only way to check it is to take it off and compare the two? Not to mention the right fornt is not holding air i pumped it up on monday night to 40 and it was at 20 again last night. the tire shopped fix a puncture once but i guess i have to go back there again tomorrow.

loren... youll have to take the dust cap off the strut to see if it is leaking..... again... a cupped tire means a blown strut..... not rubbing on the perch, that wont cup a tire, that will gouge a tire, and would be quite noticable.... off balance tires will cause vibrations at high speeds...... but very little for tire wear..




well, im all set to go to boise idaho on monday i finally get to see my brothers (one i havnt seen for 10 years) woohoo!
