Luckily the SE just got put back together with the help of my dad today after being down for a month with timing belt woes. I can't wait till the build is done on the SVT!! I hate driving with a slipping clutch. Frosty will be getting put away for the winter tomorrow.

[Suba Blu]

buy my stage 3 clutch if yours is slipping

[Frosty]

I think that a stage 3 is a little much for what I am going to do with the car. I am not doing F/I and I want the car to be streetable. I would love to help ya out, but I think a SPEC stage 1 is in line for me

[SoundQ SVT]

Well, not much happening yet... a little freezing drizzle... nothing much. Now they are saying the snow will start about midnight tonight and fall at a rate of close to 2 inches per hour until mid-morning Friday, ending up with 8 to 12 inches accumulation by the time it is done...

I hope it does something with all the drama they are putting into the forecast. The last time the forecast was like this (in Jan or Feb of this year) we hardly got anything at all.

But it sure got cold..... 60's earlier this week, and yesterday morning it was still in the mid to upper 50's. Today it is in the upper 20's. Too much of a shock to the system for me. Reminds me of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"
