Jeffrey thought it would be a good idea to have a cruise route to fox lake for a break in the action during the day for people.

A lot of people are asking what I am charging for tuning. The credits cost 50 dollars, I would like to tune for 75 bucks total. I think that is very reasonable for what your getting and the time it takes.

victoryss - I think that's a great idea because I will only be able to be there tomorrow from like 10am to 3pm because my gf has to work and I don't trust her alone at my place lol.

have you actually ever bought credits or tuned some ones car....besides your own?

I'm not one to "toot" my own horn here, but even the most basic of tuners understand that while the credits are $50, it takes two per car.

thus its a $100 cost to tune.

if you tune for $75, then you'll be loosing $15 a car.

not gonna lie, if had wanted you to tune my car, over the others that will be there, i'd be a little turned off by this lack of even the most basic of HPT knowledge.

i just cruised through the holiday in express to see if anyone had showed up yet on my lunch break. no such luck.

also, i will be the one picking up a76marine from the navy base in case anyone else was willing to offer.
