Wes and I will be out on that side of town later in the week/weekend, but we're probably just going to be doing stuff with his family so I doubt we'll be out and about.

I go through phases. My job is awesome and I really like it, but the "big" boss is a real bitch so when she's around it just kills any motivation I had.

Jobs are like women....

No matter what you think... the grass isn't greener, it's still grass.

No job is perfect, and if you're not happy there, it may not be becuase the job sucks, it's just that you've been there too long and are in that "comfort zone" there.

always be wary of changes at critical moments in your life. After marriage, divorce, death in the family, etc...

let things go for 1 year before making any major life changing choices.

Alicia, NO... I've not found one for Nats at this point.... BUT... I might try to talk my cousin into going. He is buying a Ram2500 Diesel this week, and I might talk him into towing the SS out there, and I'll let him co-drive it and pay his entry.

Maybe... I don't know how he'd feel about going from AWD turbo to FWD SC with no LSD...

That's one thing I like about my job - no two days are EVER the same. Then again I have NO job security, but that's just the nature of grant-funded jobs.

I was going to say, I'm pretty sure my dad would let you rent their spare room fairly cheap. The only downside is, they're an hour away from Heartland Park, so you'd have a drive (all interstate).

Yeah, but in this day and age, there's no such thing as "job security". Everyone's posistion is re-fillable.

We all can run out of work, except guys that work in morgues, cemetaries, and the like

This is true. But I know going in that I may only have a job for 6 months or a year. Best case scenario, I can get some good references here and work for another job through the same hospital unit.

Yeah, there's a lot in that area. There's a chick with one in Turtle Creek and a guy with one - both of those are N/A coupes. There's also a 4-door SOM SS running around, haven't seen the driver yet though. Plus there's another SS/SC in addition to Wes' in the area too.

Alicia....

Not that this matters, but something neat I noticed....

Earlier, you and I talked about how the NA SS and FI SS were classed in solo.... They have the 2.4 listed as being in GS now.... They get the joy of running against Minis "s"...

Lucky them.

I heard they moved the John Cooper Works version into DS with me..

Out of 12 cars in DS this weekend ( biggest "stock" class ), there are only 2 american models in there... me, and a guy with a 2005 SRT4-ACR

YAY!

The SS N/A has ALWAYS been a G-stock car, that's why I don't get why it's thrown to the wolves in CSP.

JCW is A-stock I believe, will confirm that shortly. EDIT: it is in B stock

I'm guessing you're gonna get destroyed by some hungry Rex's. Be interesting to see how you do against the SRT4, I'm undefeated so far in auto-x 1 regular and 2 ACRs, but you're going to get a lot higher level of competition there.

Other than my new HID bulbs that I got yesterday... I don't know yet. Could be wheels at home... could be a body kit... could be a wastegate... could be nothing.

Fedex fucked me this morning. Apparantly leaving a doortag and saying they'll deliver tomorrow is easier than actually ringing the doorbell. They should let me pick them up at the distribution center at Neville island but I have to wait till after 5:30.
