UrS0NvS: Not quite 6 out of 8. There's 2 CELs for the IAC and I'm sure that will lead to another one for High Idle. I think there is a problem with the ECU. Anyways.. I went out to your car on the way out and I took a picture, then my camera died. I have a video. Man your car is torn up! With all of the aftermarket parts you have in your living room I'm absoloutely sure that your car is going to be sweet when you get done with this paint job and offloading all the parts from your living room.

Picture of Lee's car (not the one that has the CELs)


Here's some pictures of the aftermarket parts and other stuff to be installed from UrS0NvS's living room.




Look at this... 2 Painted Dashboards and a KDM dashboard. How many people do you know who have ever had 3 dashboards in their living room?


Here's some pics of the kitchen I destroyed. This is not when it was real bad though. I had the counters full at one point.




I got my ATH spoiler back for all of that work! I should have never sold it to UrS0NvS in the first place. However it was alot of fun, and I'm glad I did.


UrS0NvS, you or Shorty should make this your avitar...



I drove across Oklahoma yesterday.




Today I'm in texas and I will be in Dallas by tonight. I had a Telephone interview with GE today and they like what I had to say, pending other telephone interviews I may have to go to Denver Colorado around June 8th.

I just got your message ET. I'll call you in a few minutes.

Dallas is bigger then I expected. The roads can be confusing without GPS. Some of the highways intersect four or five overpasses high!



Who knew they had a WTC here?



I got stung by a bee on the way into town LOL. I think it was a killer bee. I pulled over to let him out and jump around smacking myself like an idiot for a bit. lol. I looked around and saw a couple of cops on horseback.



So I got back in the car and drove to the gas station and ElectricTuscani called me. It was then that I found out that killer bee was still in my car and I dove out of the car like Vin Diesel with a tank of NAAAAAAAWZ while ET was on the phone.

I finally made it to my hotel and I'm going to do some research tonight and some visits tomorrow.

No, not begging for a compliment. Just posting pictures that I've taken across the country.

I went to a bar in Missouri and had a conversation with a fellow. he gave me a card that would get me 20% off a hotel. With military discount that was around 50% discount. Woot.

So far Kansas(Wamigo and Manhattan) is the nicest place I've been. The people are cool there, like you can just walk up to most people and talk to them without worrying about getting stabbed or something. The the roads are awesome. I just wish things were closer together.

I've been to a few large cities and it seems that everyone makes very quick eye contact and does not want to talk to people for fear of getting scammed out of money or something like that. The more bigger cities I go to, the more I realize that UrS0NvS has it all figured out. Live 20 miles from a major city and you can always get what you need while maintaining the small city attitude.

Makes me want to just move back home to Missoula, Motana. It's a small town with a good economy and all the amenities that anyone would need. lol. I wish the jobs there paid more though.

I almost moved to Missoula, Montana. I thought it was a great town. Since I didn't feel like building log cabins though I didn't see a lot of employment opportunities that would work for me.

Hate to say it, but pretty much everywhere along the west coast you'll find that most people won't look you in the eyes, and that most who will are looking for trouble. I look people in the eyes, but I don't think I'm looking for trouble. Others might disagree.

want to add another thing about the area i live in...

when driving along the road, even a 4 -lane with a big median between the lanes...

it is courtesy to wave to the people you are passing , i mean every one of them. I have been pulled over by people that have turned around and asked me if i had a problem with them or i was a snob. blink.gif

small town stuff,lol.

DTN is going for the cash that you will find in a more populated area (which i don't blame him) but i prefer the places that you can leave your car unlocked at the gas station to go pay for your gas and you come back out not worried about not seeing your car.
