Damn bro that sucks! Either Cali is really strict on stupid stuff or you were doing something really stupid to get her impounded. Which one was it?

Variety of things...started off as speeding, then it went down hill from there.

Yeah, so far so good. Fills up fast and depending on what tool I'm using it doesn't lose too much air. Little loud but when talking about compressors I'm sure it's one of the quieter ones if not middle of the pack.

Not quite, doing 90 in the car pool lane at 4 am. Nothing too outrageously terrible, guy was just a dick and bored...and had two newbie's with him so I'm thinking he was showing them the ropes. Just rotten luck really.

I'm gonna go with the latter!
Dave (usabodyguard) talked to one of his buddies at the court house and looks like I'll be looking at maybe $2K in fine's and fee's.
If only I had the money for that it wouldn't suck so much!

Nahhh...Truck will be aight. I just bought a new converter and flexplate from Yank so apart from injectors and maybe a new intake I should be good to go on the parts list. Unless I'm forgetting something which is a definite possibility!

Anndddd....Someone got their bike back!!

I just posted a similar opinion on your thread!!
Now that I have a mode of transportation back in my possession I am gonna run up to wilwood tomorrow and hope to have the brakes done by tomorrow night, Friday will be for organizing and prepping the engine bay because it's in "transport mode" and weekend is drop in the engine...hopefully. So you'll probably win this race but I'm more concerned about what my truck does on the tarmac not the jackstands!!
Ok...you and I need to stay away from each other cuz there's gonna be some bad **** happening if our trucks were to ever get too close to each other!

I have full coverage on mine I hope you do too!

I hope your motor install goes a little smoother than mine did, but after reading your thread im gonna guess that it wont! Make sure you keep some band aids at the house for minor cuts, and super glue and tape for more serious ones!
