Heck i thought the girls did a good job, the food was good and they were polite. What more can you ask for.

Yeah they did a pretty good job. The blonde one.. uhh I'm married better hush.

ok you have my number don't worry about the beer I'm not a beer drinker the wheels are dismounted& I could mount a tire for you but I don't have a balancer so you would have to get it balanced I had these wheels on my green car for a while so I know that they are good and straight

That's cool.. have a life time balancing with all of the tires. As long as I get them on there.

So what did everyone spend on gas for the trip? I figure we spent $55ish. Left with a half tank and got home with a half tank. 34 on the tank over - 31 around town - not sure on the last tank forgot to figure! Probably bad since I held it at 75 at 3500rpm with 10% ethanol not going to do that again. Had plenty of power on the hills though! An Aspire automatic trans swap sure is tempting... 5 speed probably better on long trips as long as you don't hit traffic!

I think if I can get a few bugs worked out we'll be taking it on more road trips. With the Escape would of taken at least twice that. Really wasn't bad space wise although the boy can give quite the back massages. That's not so good when he's cranky and your in traffic!! Another observation I wasn't near as tired when I got home.. I guess the harshness of 3500 and wind kept me awake?

Get a photbucket account.(free) Then you go to your album, when you scroll your cursor over the pics, you will see a menu drop down from the pic you want. The last option = IMG code is the one you want. Copy that and put it in your post. Voila, a pic! Try to resize it to 480 X 680. (I think that is the size) The prefered size is listed in "the rules". To big and can only see half your pic.

Thanks for the FF.Com sticker, i thought your dog was well behaved, ya know your pup was doin what came natural, exercising Bugs Bunny to the max, as for your tool box, well a little collateral damage never hurt.

[drddan]

Oh, he knew he messed up. I just said, "What the _ _ _ _ is wrong with you!"
He was like all, "I'm sorry". With the big sad puppy eye thing, and tail between his legs thing goin on. I was mad for a bit, but it was an accident.
He is an incredibilly intelligent dog, and like you said, well manered.
But all can be forgotten if a rabbit is involved!

BTW....My son came through for me last night. When I got home from work, he was there with a bunch of ROCKER ARM BOLTS AND WASHERS!!!!
Painted the valve cover last night, be putting it all together tonight! Yea!
