Make sure to take a dump before you leave your house. With all the **** you talk that should be a huge gain.

Things aren't looking good for me. Tomarrow is supposed to be like 115 plus its the 3rd longest day of the year so it won't get dark until like 8:30 so it won't start cooling down until like 10! So my best bet is to go for the fastest time at like 11:30 and make sure my temp is down so have the a/c on.

Be sure to tell your Dad that you will be home after midnight. Might want to leave him a few post-its around the house aswell.

Im getting Drag radials tomorrow, im hoping I can get into the 15's tomorrow. sshaner, it should be a close race, granted you may have more power, but i have a weight advantage. And you will be lucky to get a 15.7 at firebird in this heat with those mods. I have the same problem, the 2.2 ecotecs hate the heat.

where is the gas station that sells 101 octane at i asked once before but no one ever gave me an answer.

I sure cant wait till its december/ january. My 03 ran .5-1.0 consistantly faster when it was 60 degrees out versus the 100+ it has been. If I apply that to my 04, I should have a 15.5 in it atleast when the temps are better. Granted I am basically stock and have the heaviest model of cavalier, but I consider myself a good driver. We will see how it goes this friday, good luck. Make sure you look for the red cavalier with the silver stripes.

I did that the first time I got a large drink from Taco Bell. I think there is still some soda on the face of my stereo.

Yeah but my drink was a small. When you see my new shifter you'll see what I mean. The shifter looks like its in 3rd when its really in neutral. So 3rd gear is like on top of the cup holder.

Nice. I'm waiting to see what Hurst comes out with. I don't really care for the look of the B&M.

Note to all Az Drivers. Don't opt for the online traffic safety school if you get a ticket. It really sucks. You remember that stupid manual that you had to read to take your permit test?Imagine reading that on a computer screen, only the pages are timed so that you can't go faster than 5.5hrs plus take a quiz for each section. Then you have to go to a FedEx-Kinkos to take your final exam, where they charge you for the fax that the online school sends to them (to varify that you are the person taking the test) and for the use of thier computers/internet. On top of the online school charging you ($120) for reading the stupid manual on thier website.
