(and mildly depressed as my kids grow older)

I guess that means you took it off of your truck??? If that's the case, I might not need cash, maybe we can race heads up for it Maybe start our own East Coast **** talkin' version of the Grippy vs. BlownChevy saga
Seriously tho, no blower in my immediate future, but I didn't sell my truck either. It's the same as last time you saw it, which should be good for low 14's. "Settled" for a New Maxima as I couldn't see spending $5k to $10k more for a used Benz, which really didn't impress me as I hoped it would, and couldn't afford the layout for a new one. Got 1.9% financing on the Max, and the new CVT trans makes this thing feel like a LearJet...not speed wise, but smoooooooth wise. Anyhow, the wife looks good in it (lol), and that's my last 3 months in a nut shell. Do you still have the SS...I don't feel like searching right now, but do have some catching up to do in the next few days. Looking forward to seeing you guys again, and meeting some new people too. Later, T.

I have been to the airport and I drove through Baltimore when I moved to RI. That is about all I know about the city. Any suggestions would be great!

BTW, not real sure what my truck is gonna run, but I might need a helmet.

Yeah man, I'll race you heads up, I just got to get Dewey to help me hook up my meth line.....yeah, it's a meth line. Still got the SS but, took the Radix off so I can get ready to get something new, thinking about one of those new 5.3L Canyons.

When you floor that CVT trans does it just go to max power rpm and stay there until it catches up speed wise? I'd love to have something like that in a truck.

Sounds like you've been busy, glad you found your way back to PT.net.

Where is a good place to buy one? Jeg's? If I had a stall I would be looking at low 13's, but I am thinking I will run borderline high 13's/ low 14's. Yeah for work in progress trucks!
