Back to EVO ...

Well, it looks like my Porsche and I will be parting ways for awhile. I am going to start building a home in either Tampa or Hawaii soon.

Tuning it for the altitude here in Colorado has been a problem so I have decided to get it tuned for sea level and store it out where I am going to build my house. I guess I'll be driving it every six weeks for a few days while check up on the build.

I'll have EVO retune it, gut the cats and get the wheels fixed. By the time the car is ready, I'll know whether Tampa or Hawaii is the place.

How soon is your baby leaving? I was hoping to get a peak before she left. By the way when is the Gallardo due?

Once tuned it can stay in my 3rd garage free of charge.. We will protect it and take it out to kick some Lambo *** every now and then...

Just to be sure it still starts and the battery does not die of course...

Gary,
Dont worry about it, I have already cleaned out my garage so that MANA can keep his car here at my place free of charge. He was concerned about the unusually high "Hooters girl" traffic going trough your garage and the car getting damaged.
MANA,
Let me know when you are shipping it so that I can take the day off.

wross, I will be leaving this afternoon. The Gallardo should be here next week, maybe the week after.

bottomline, I am moving, but it will take about two years to get the lot selected and the home built. I'll be staying here until the house is built.

Gary, If Tampa is the place. You got a deal brutha! That way you can see what the GT800 is like before you take the plunge.

Luis, Damn!! I never thought about the Hooters connection.

Craig, Thanks brutha!!

Ronnie, Too late. The car just left. We should still get together this weekend. The Viper and the Lambo will be back in a week or two so I will still be in the game, just a temporary glitch ...

RT7, If they don't get it right this time, I may have too.

Sounds good Bill, let me know how you want to proceed with getting the wheels sent back. I'm going to assume Todd is going to dismount them and send them back to HRE for the refinish job?
