Here's a couple pics:

My cousin and I at a Dodgers game, I'm on the left with the DC hat on.


My sister and I last weekend at a friends Halloween party, I was a geek


Some buddy's and I at Dicks Last Resort inside the Excalibur in Las Vegas about a month ago.


My GS:


My other baby, 1992 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. I ran an 11.6 @ 127mph in the 1/4 mile in Septempber. I actually got kicked off Irwindale's 1/8th mile track last night for running a 7.21 @ 100mph without a cage! Whoops lol.

So sorry man...I have been real busy and must have forgotten. PM me when you can meet up...perhaps next weekend; this weekend = booked.

BTW, I did not tune the Neo at all; I paid a shop to do it so I am not sure how much I can show you with regard to the Neo.

since i havent ever been to dicks last resort.....why are their bras hanging from the bar and what kind of trashy chick leaves their bra at a bar?

nice red talon BTW....when you get into the serious HP you might think bout disconnecting your FWD part of the AWD system to run more HP without breaking the diffs/transfer cases as these are prone to do with high HP beasts. yes, i came from the DSM world after leaving the honda world and before settling into the luxury 4 door world

Yeah I'm not sure why there are bras hanging from the bar but I watched some dumb drunk ***** pull one off (from under her shirt) and give it to the bartender.

You are right about breaking the center diffs on awd dsms (I've killed a few) but the t-case's don't break quite as often. Disconnecting the fwd side of the car, however, would put a lot more stress/load on the t-case and rear end. Plus you'd have to find someway to keep the front axle's in the tranny where they seal, or fab some block off plates, or you'd lose all your transmissin oil. It's not something people usually do to these cars. There are a few custom built guys running adapter plates with gm auto tranny's but we are talking serious amounts of money and custom fabrication there..

Sorry for the OT post, lets get back to the photos!

Oh man. Looks like it's my turn huh?

I'm the guy on the bottom right with the maroon colored tie. My woman is linked to my right arm.


Here's a better picture I just found.


With the fellas and my brother in law who just recently became a Marine. I'm on the left in the black. I couldn't afford a shirt. Haha.


In this picture, that's my sister next to me.


I like having a good time. I don't care what anybody thinks of me.


This is my drive way.

LS430 is my fathers, GS3 is mine, TL is my mother's but doesn't count because she doesn't live here, and MDX is my dad's gf's.

and here's the other half.

LS460L(on the right of the picture) is mine. LS460, recently acquired is my father's

This is what I was on Halloween. Oscar the flower loving Mexican't.


My gf snapped a picture of me driving. Don't mind the silly band thing. It was from my little niece and the locket is my girlfriends.


At the hotel after the 10 hour drive to PA to go to Hershey Park with the gf and the old Bimmer in the back.


and here she is.


That's all I have to share so far.
