Im up for getting together with everyone. I havent been in GJ since `98 (followed the Power Tour for a little while). I damn well better have the Cougar on the road by then so I could show up in that. Either that or the hawtness of the wagon. Originally posted by Derk-xB:
I'd have to take a ride with somebody for the canyon run - aint no way I'm playing kaboose with the xB. 
If I brought the wagon I might actually give Derk some competition in the twisties. Soft, squishy, non-R suspension sucks at any kind of speed when a corner is added. 
Thought I was going to tip over in Morgan canyon when I went on a Evanston porn/beer run in December. Whats worse is the Contour has gone through that exact same canyon about 15 mph faster....still accelerating.

The ol' Box actually handles pretty well. (Not SVT territory, don't get me wrong) The 185/60/15 tires are pretty lame-o, though. I sure could use some 205mm tires...  So, it's really not the handling, it's the power.

Im heading out of the house right now, but I will have to check my schedule tomorrow.
On another SW related story, Im spending spring break in Havasu! Yay!
And on another note, Im about to be Colorado's finest corner carver (yeah thats right Randy!). Full Koni kit should be on order soon, along with me finally installing my subframe connectors. No body roll here!

If you can, don't gas up in Needles! That is a hell hole for gas price gouging!
Koni's or Blistiens are going on before I come down so that I can install my H&R's. I'm also getting the subframe connectors from Steve

The Cougar is coming along nicely so it looks like I should be good for this. By about mid-next week all I need is forward lamps, bumper cover and a few small pieces. Still need to get the radiator support pulled though.
