We keep hearing these stories about a vette....but non of us has actually seen it.

BTW...I want to do a dyno day soon. Where is the place to go? And please figure out a good deal for about 8-10 of us for about 7-8hrs. That's your homework.

Six Sigma in Concord, I'm buddies with John (he pretty well runs it and does all of the tuning). Also if any of yall want a tune I'll get you hooked up with him, he's one of the best and great to deal with. Give me the word on when and I'll get up with him to make it happen. I just shot him a text to get an idea on it.

I'm done with homework, except I think I'm going to start grad school in the fall....

It'll come back sometime, I have to make sure I can keep up with all those C6Z's first


PS: I never uploaded any after I got things dialed in (this was the first day shaking down that setup last year), but here's some videos. This should help in my playing the part of a Corvette owner.

Its a part time fun thing for me... for now, would love to go full-time with it one day.

I would be more than happy to have everyone over, fire up the pig smoker, and see who can lay down some decent numbers on the rollers! Just be aware, some of the locals with the fords may show up looking for a little competition.... lol

Hopefully I'll be able to make the March meet and we can figure something out!

Stay part time...lol

Running a shop isn't as much fun as its cracked up to be when you HAVE to do it and you rely on it to pay the bills.

Never turn your hobby into your means of paying bills... It would just be to fill the time between breakfeast and dinner and keep me from being bored in the afternoon! I have few options on the table with several lease componies to pay the bills, just taking the time to let them bid where I want and get my time in at my current job to leave with all my 401k lol

I'm glad you know that already, I've seen too many people learn that the hard way and lose a lot in the process.

If you can pick and choose the jobs you want to do and do it on your schedule, its a blast. Once I settle into this new job, I'll probably eventually get some shop space and start doing some sidework again.

Its lunch and they haven't run me off yet

Doubt you'll see too many people from here at a Koss event....


Lee -- personally, I'm excited I got promoted from night time stock boy to the day shift. Maybe one day I'll move up to cashier.

I'm just a hater. Plus, a track record of being overpriced and disorganized.

I'm down to buy a round so long as they don't fire me!

We could do a little somethin somethin during the week too, I'm working in Clover and I've been hittin the gym in Steele Creek right behind the Tilted Kilt most evenings.
