For 2 nights it comes out to $83.00 + tax each. Thats cheap considering 1 night at the Microtel was $80-85 for 1 person, we get a whole friggin small cottage! You both don't have to pay me till we get there, so just save up your $83.00/ea + tax, plus your spending money/gas.
Price might come down each if we get Bamaboy to come or someone else wants to stay, if they don't mind sleeping on the couch. The price would drop to $62.50/ea + tax for 2 nights.
If any of you decide top back out atleast let me know a week in advance.
Don't know why you would sounds like its going to be a fun ass trip. My predicition is
08inBama will

I want to add that to my sig, but css.net is strict as **** on sig sizes
and damn I want my car back, one of my friend's cousin just bought a Silver '04 Pontiac GTO(6-speed LS1 car)... its bone stock and both of them are talking it up like its the fastest thing on the road... I can't wait to put 3+ cars on them and show them it truly is a high 13/low 14 second car
my friend has rode in my car a few times, but I've never raced anyone in it or anything with him in it... so I don't think he quite knows how good it pulls, because you don't get that throw you back in the seat feeling you get with a RWD V8, so they "feel" faster... and always will... still doesn't mean I won't pull him ridiculously hard in my FWD i4

bamaboy, where did you land a job at? And I saw a red Cobalt SS at The Village of Providence yesterday. From the looks for it, I'm guessing it was an SS/SC. I don't know if he's on here or not though. It might be a she. Didn't see the driver and the car was parked on the side of the road. That's just my luck. I always catch an SS/SC/TC parked somewhere

By the way Bamaboy the owner of the car wash buffed out those marks, looks brand new (took him 5 min. total to buff it out).
Here's the kicker he has video from beginning to end of every car that goes through each day (tape resets every day). From the tape it looks like those scratches were already on there. But when we asked him how much he would charge to buff it out, he offered to do it for free
So now I'm wondering who marked it up, because as you saw it definitely looked like something was dragged along that edge, the only place my car ever gets drove that its parked for longer then a few minutes in public is college.
Probably one of the college student douche bags I toasted on the way to college, ****** haters.

i'm going to order these for my car(in black):
http://www.modernperformance.com/dep...lt-p-2096.html
i've had some projectors before, the Gen IIIs, but they got the notorious stress cracks and kept burning out LEDs, so I replaced them back with the stockers(and never sold them because I didn't want to rip anyone off, not my style), though they looked great new:
^(the pic from where I got my sig, lol)
the Gen Is are just very durable and have past the test of time, so i'm going with them... the Gen IVs have been discontinued in black... the Gen IIs look terrible, and as noted, the Gen IIIs were designed very badly

of course, that is not JUST GM... Nismo, Mopar, Ford Racing, TRD, etc..... all very highly price compared to their aftermarket competition, but with that being said there are no ill effects of running them... all are backed by factory warranty, etc... so you are paying for that warranty + the "engineering"

yeah OEM parts suck... GMPP is the easiest way to turn a $500 catback into a $1100 piece

I ordered SS valves, bronze valve guides and some after market springs for the head rebuild.
Again my goal is still 20 psi (now with the DOHC head) and intake. I should also spool up the turbo about 300 rpms sooner with the better flowing head and intake.
The other day on my way back from college some guy on a crotch rocket tried to past me on the highway, when he got even with me I stomped it and he could not get around me till I let off about 120 to let him pass Little van pulls strong as hell on the top end.
Well if your car weighs 1800 and it has 325 whp, if you can get it to hook up, thats about a 10.5 sec 1/4 mile car.

I'm in the process of modding my van also, getting a distributor machined to fit in the 4G63 DOHC turbo head so I can use my stock ecu. I have 775cc injectors sitting here waiting on me to get finished.

thats the goal mid 10's....yes i had problems with the car at 2100lbs with 220fwhp hooking up... but that was on street tires...im going to a slick and taking the car to the track after i get it tuned....im going to have to decide either rebuild this tranny and change 5th gear out or go to a integra ls tranny which has LONG gears .....i have to do the tranny, clutch, injectors , 3 bar map sensor and a new tune and ill be set for 325fwhp....then it will be up to the tuner to get it great otherwise the block wont last long then it will have to go down again and get a set of forged rods/pistons ::which i may do anyways:: and drop the compression from 9:2.1 to atleast 8:4.1
