So an update:

Money donated, Thanks Lance!

Sorry to hear of Stazis 'hit.' Hope your neck/back is ok.

Cape Cod is great! Spent a week there on vacation.

I finally landed a new job - Director of Sales and Account Management at a smaller firm than where I was. It's been 9 months since I resigned. I'm looking forward to a paycheck.

My wife backed into my car. Again. This time a side-swipe of the passenger rear fender and door.

We're looking to trade in her Mazda MPV on a Volvo XC90.

Muskoka is great. Spent a week there too.

Congrats to Mr. Boner! I'm surprised no one has come up with a witty joke about blowing your bone! Like the difference between your boner and your bonus? Your wife will blow your bonus.

I got new shoes for my car:





Ryan, that bites. Good luck with whatever you decide on the car.

Say, when is the next SEMI meet?

I see my buddy Sharkey isn't the only one with a wife that isn't the best driver. First she backs into their 2 week old GTI with his co. truck. While getting estimates 2 days later she rear ends a guy. Reason #47 why I'm still single.

LOVE THOSE RIMS!!!!!

I didn't think BBS RX's fit our car, where did you get them from? Custom Order? What offset?? I'm assuming 17X7.5? I like my light weight Rota Attacks, but I was going to use them for track and autox events and wanted a solid wheel, something like the BBS line of rims. . .

Thanks Mark for the info, and sorry about your wife nailing the car

BBS RX 17 x 7.5 35mm OS w/ BFG Pole Position S-03 (215/45-17)
They were the last set the Tire Rack had (thanks Luke). Not listed for a contour, only the Cougar, but Luke sold them to me anyway. Here's the best part - $737 to my door. I sold my OZ's for $600. That's right $137 out of pocket for the rims I wanted all along.

Thanks! I wondered who was in the black car creeping by. Your car is tight & clean.

I tried to avoid the obvious, but the temptation was there to add something to my signature about the only blow Boner at CEG.

But then my kids are with me when I post from time to time, so I really don't want to explain the siggy.

I'll treat it to some chemicals after I get it back from being repiared. I spent 4 hours stripping all the wax and shtuff off of it. Next a clay bar and then into the shop.

Hello Steve! How's the snake?

Slow as always

The mods are coming very slowly now days, as I'm in the middle of having a house built. Gotta have priorites, ya know? Here's the current mod list, and a small pic of it as of 2 weeks ago:

If by "come back" you mean "login to give Beggs a bunch of crap and then stay around an extra couple of days when Rara begs us to", then you would be correct
Posted By: perry_dup1 Re: I've been away for a while...... - 07/29/03 09:17 PM
And by "begs us to", Rara meant for you to give him a chance to ban the both of ya!

Gee, I must've missed something. I think staying ignorant on this one will be the way to go.

Btw, I think that chat server thing is still running. (Checks - well. It is now. )

Dan - not taking any

Sheit! That ain't nuffin. The Phatcugr is in serious need of some quality detailing work. I don't think I've even washed it this year.

And I've never waxed it either. Is that bad?

(runs away)

Dan - instigator

And if by "begs" you mean make fun of you incessantly for breaking your promise of leaving for good, then I guess you could say I begged you guys
Hey, you're the one who asked us to come back...

Hey, look! Custom titles for the ambiguously ... duo!
Car looks good Mark, love the wheels!
