I wanted to find out who is amidst modifications to their car? Especially with winter approaching I am sure everyone has plans to do a little something special to their car for spring. I know Duane, 03C4S, tme, BuddyG, cjv (always ongoing )and myself have a few irons in the fire as they say. Who else is doing or planning mods and what are they?

 

If I told you, I would have to kill you...but somthin's in the works

Evan,
You aren't going to let me live that down, are you?

 

NOPE...you should make a little trip to FL from the NC meet...lets see...beg. of Dec.....should still be in the 70's or 80's

I ask myself all the time "Why do I live in Michigan?" Especially around March when the temperature is like 5 below and the wind chill feels like 30 below and there is 2 feet of snow on the ground.

"Why in the world would anyone live in this God forsaken state!!"

As far as mods go I think I need to let my bank account rest and recover a bit. Problem is now I have another car that feeds my need to mod.

The Scooby!! All kinds of Mods to do to that thing! I will have a winter beater that runs 11's in the quarter mile!!

 

Look at the pics

 

Ken - I think you know that Im up to no good too

 

Only "superficial" mods for me ... should have the interior & exterior done by end of November ... right now looks like the RUF body kit w/interior pieces in carbon fiber & aluminum combo from Gert.

PS - Air conditioner is running full steam over here still too

 

I've done plenty of mods, my biggest issue is getting to the track more and learning more about the car.

It's funny, I wonder the same thing about why people live in cold weather places unless, they live in a city. No offense of coarse, but, I understand why people live in NY and I know why I live in Chicago, but why those small towns? I love the City, so much to do, so much action, that is why I tolerate the cold, becuase the summer is so good. I love the beach, the girls, the restaurants, night life, Cubs games, etc. But, what keeps people in smaller towns, why not just live in a smaller town that is in a warmer climate. I know whatyou are all thinking, why wouldn't I live in a big city in a warm climate? Well, its not the same, Chicago, New York, are nothing like LA, Miami, or any of the large cities in warm climates. Just my thoughts, maybe someone can show me the light
