Tired of the color of your car? Wrap your car a different color like this dude:

I'm sure it survives automatic car washes far better than BMW black paint does.

Hope my dad doesn't read that....

[Jeff Shyu]

Guess I should have taken a macro shot of one of the dead but engorged ticks I found this morning after fumigating the house and treating the dogs. }:)

OK, maybe not. :barf: :barf: :barf:

So, how does it feel to blow through $100k in six weeks?

[Curt Luther]

Damn, I love white chicks. Hey, Steve. Let's run FS in Topeka instead

Nevermind. FS runs the wrong days

[Steve Ekstrand]

So, how does it feel to blow through $100k in six weeks?

By the time you add it all up, and the mods to the truck, and outfitting the trailer, and tax and license, it was ~$125K. Our payments are really low though with our 80% down approach to spending!
But it comes with 2400 gallons of Diesel for $2.99 a pop.


This isn't our car 335 though. I was just surfing for Alpine with Coral pics last night. Stacey is starting to get excited. Our car will be in the first batch of regular retail 2009's. The boat is probably arriving in the second half of October.

[Steve Ekstrand]

So, where does the 335 go in SP? ESP? Hmmmm.... Add a diff. 295-30-18's, crank up the boost... Add a high flow lightweight turboback with no cat. Shocks and bars. It would be a pretty docile streetable 400+hp ESP car....

Do you know if it gets the new styling changes?

I'm pretty sure it's BSP. Could still be fun...

BSP. Come on Steve, you know you want to.

[Steve Ekstrand]

Run BSP with a keychain swiss army knife? I already did that in 2004.

I looked up styling changes and I think that is just for the Sedans and the Wagons. I think the 2009 Coupes and Convertibles are unchanged. But I didn't look that hard. It'll be a 2009.

This one is Stacey's commuter car. No competitive autocrossing. Though if the Scnax Cup survives in some form, it may show up there as Stacey's SK1-FS rwd team car along with me in the FWD Honduh.

Defendant trades murder plea for KFC, pizza
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.

Tremayne Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he got a break from jail food.

Tremayne Durham, 33, of New York City, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006. Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn't provide a refund.

The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a former employee of the company, while looking for its owner, authorities said.

Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he could get a break from jail food. The judge agreed and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream.

After Wednesday's sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal -- calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed. They will pay the tab.

Durham also got married Wednesday in a civil ceremony at the Portland courthouse. The wedding to Vanessa Davis, 48, also of New York City, was not part of the plea deal that will give Durham a chance for parole after 30 years.

Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County Judge Eric Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.
