I have always wanted to cut my front license plate to the shape of teeth. Make it look like a chevron commercial

it was time for me to make some more checks (I print my own) thought it was cool, thought I would share.

keep in mind they dont look nearly as stupid printed because they are more of a watermark that you need to be able to wright over. the vette and the group shot look the best.

Mazda called....said they would meet our terms.....so may be picking up a 3 tonight.

I do need some IMMEDIATE assistance on the intake and exhaust on the snowfl8k. Cesar/Loren, please call me if you have the chance. I have a proposition to make.

Circle, how bout 100 bucks for the rear bumper swap?

Beagle....would you be interested in swapping rear bumpers? (plus 100 bucks)

Circle, are you still interested in the Ipod adaptor? Anyone else interested...the new 3 will have a built in Ipod adaptor.

I'll see if we can remember to pull off the fender strakes, as well as the carbon fiber dash cover.

Loren, The clears are on the car, I can swap them with the yellows I have on my car for now....but may have someone to come look at the black 8 this weekend.

good lord. that has got to be THE UGLIEST steering wheel ever. i would NEVER consider buying that 8 JUST because i wouldn't want to look at that thing. the wheels & rear LEDs look nice, but overall i don't like what they did. neither renditions of the new 8 (2009 or MS) excite me the way the one ours did when i first saw it. if i was in the market for a sports car today, i'd most likely pass on the 8 and go w/ the 2009 m3. the redesigned 8 is just is missing some mojo that i can't quite put my finger on, but enough to turn me off...

detrich: you know that's the same steering wheel as the CX-7 and CX-9, right? (I think it's also going into the Mazda6)

i know it's on the cx-7, but the 2008 cx-9's steering wheel didn't look as bad if i recall. take a look at the cx-9... the new 8's steering wheel is definitely puke compared to the ours.

I was just checking out pics of the new 8. I like it, but it looks like the suspension was done in Vegas.
Definitely need that fixed.
And I do love those seats.

Jessie, let me know when you're done with Bioshock...I would love to play it again.

As for last night, thanks to Loren, Cesar and Erica. It was a long evening, but we were able to get the intake into Cesar's car, the exhaust onto Loren's car, and the Ipod adaptor out, strakes off, carbon fiber cover out, clear corners swapped with the ambers on my car......

...went to bed close to 2 after the 30 minutes of scrubbing on my hands trying to get all the grease off.

Enjoy the new toys Cesar and Loren, I'll let you know when I find buyers and we have to do the whole damn thing again

Mazda 3 will be picked up today after work. Bought a 5 door sport model in White Pearl. Was thinking that we were going to get "Rally white" which is their base flat white, or "Rally Red"....but the sport model is not available in the base colors...only the "micas"...like white pearl mica, phantom grey mica, aurora blue mica, etc.....

If anyone is interested in watching the Patriot - Jaguar game at our house, feel free to invite yourself.....you know we will be watching it. Hey, and who knows, there may be time to do some rockin afterwards.....
