    Maybe it is a combined 2 years incl. the Academy and field training. Didn't get much chance to get full explanations. Got about 2 minutes to talk to him after the ceremony before the family descended on him. Hoping to catch up with him sometime in the next week or so over lunch.

    He was told he was getting Santa Fe.

    The ceremony was pretty snazzy, lots of formality. It was held up in Santa Fe at the School for the Deaf. Wish I had remembered to bring my camera.

    I think so. That is where my bro-in-laws was held too. It was nice up there. I even got permission to drive my car up there. It was the same day as the Emcore shooting. I almost got called out for that. It was happening on my way back to town. Doing 120+ on the freeway all the way home in case I got called out. They called out A-LOT!!! of cops for that.

    I've got some stock 15"x7" aluminum rims from my taco. FYI it had manual hubs so two lug covers have the holes for the hubs.

    Saw a few nice 2nd Gens today driving and at the gym. Went home and installed Powerstop Brake Kit and did the Swaybar delete. Not sure how I feel about either yet since I just drove around the block to make sure nothing fell off :p

    ive always heard supercharging is better for crawling since there is more low end torque

    They're straight, not bent, not overly beat-up, but I can't even give them away! :confused:

    I hate to just toss 'em. :notsure:

    With the onset of summer, I've noticed it has gotten very quiet in here.

    Silas, thinking I'm going to take the skidplate to a shop and have them CNC or water cut it. Need to get it mounted up and so many other things still left to do. Anyone know of a good shop?

    Probably working on either installing the new top plate spacers or the compressor on the 4th or 5th if anyone wants to pop by or needs garage space.

    Ahh! bro, I totally forgot about that! I'll still use the grinder on it if you want. Finished up one of my summer classes and it's given me a bit more free time. I'm usually free after 7pm just about every day...
