    I am in Memphis and have heard that The Pigs tail is a good road but have not made it over there yet.

    But at 5AM a week from today I will be headed to the DRAGON!

    What about one of those magnetic M/A year membership tags? I have a few I'll never use.

    Wheels rebalanced, Harness installed, 5 gallons of Meth ready to go. I will finish sealing the car tomorrow and I am taking off the Milltek for a few weeks.

    Friday I will install my full straight pipe exhaust for the Dragon. :devil:

    It is a custom made TIG welded 2 1/2 SS straight exhaust the goes under the battery box without any cutting. It only has (2) Magnaflow resonators in the middle with no mufflers. LOUD YES, Daily Driver exhaust NO.

    Its on YouTube somewhere on my friends old Yellow 05 MCS before his brother crashed his car.

    I loaned it to him when his stock exhaust failed.

    Here you go.
    His car is the Yellow one and mine is the Red one with the long burnout pegging the tach the whole way.

    Wheels have been rebalanced. One was found to be bent and is now languishing in the back as my spare. Fortunately I have 5 of the same size, color and the tire make is the same, too.

    Replaced a missing plate light lens last night and broke the other one cleaning.

    Guess I'm replacing both lenses.

    We doing the exact thing again this year? I think Mine has gotten a bit a louder since I won. Hmmm, maybe I can get Jan to program it to shoot fireballs too.

    Maybe you should make it legal and run with some type of mufflers that are not old blown out glass packs.

    I already shoot fireballs. :devil:

    Picked up the car at the wrapster, full bonnet and bumper clear bra. It looks fabulous.

    On the way home... a downpour. I hid under an overpass for a few minutes...
    9D0D4B2D-8149-40AF-91B3-C009D30B8E84_zpsubishzzy.jpg

    Then determined that it wouldn't let up in time for me to get home for my next conference call. But also determined that the edge of the storm was only about 3-4 miles away. So I made a run for it.

    All that stuff about "drive fast enough through the rain in a convertible, and you won't get wet?" Well, I've proven that it's pretty much true in LIGHT rain.

    But in a downpour? When it's coming down in BUCKETS? Not so much.

    At least the clear bra kept the bumper protected. :lol:

    Oh NO Paul! Hope you can get it dried out fast!

    Yeah 10 years of screwing around with 4X4's taught me that going faster just makes it rain backwards!
