I think he should be the last car in our caravan, cuz there will be a lot of accidents behind and next to him.

He told me a car turning left across from him at a signal light ran into the middle island doing a head whip.
It's time to bust out the black camo manufacturers use to cover up a car. HAHA!

i've also been laying low for the past 2 months to get the 24+ boxes in my garage onto the car....

and another shipment of 15+ boxes of stuff coming in October / November.

Taiwan, Japan, Germany... everyone is involved.

Special thanks goes out to Tanabe, SSR, Tire Outlet Performance, ENEOS, Mactac, Nuforce, Oppo Digital, NeoDrive, Toyo, VinylStyles and last but not least Peter @ Auto Infantry for shipping me stuff next day air. Thanks to sponsors and everyone on the leap of faith with this car, most of you said You're crazy when i threw out the idea awhile back, but i think i'm pretty close to it.

I had 2 life threatening incidents during the build in both times, i almost died, and one of them would've totaled the car, but outcome was worth it. I wish it could be in SEMA but wont be done by then.... We're shooting for CES 2010 in January. Those that see the car in socal this weekend, you have no idea what else is in store for the car. (the other 50%)

Just got back from Solo's house.. finishing up his car. hopefully he'll be able to come by and help me with mine tonight. Mad dash to the finish line, to debute 1/2 the car. I have caused 2 car incidents in the past 5 days since i've taken the car out of the garage, slept an average of 30 minutes - 1h a day for the past 5 days, and still have lots to do before the caravan.

Last minute diagnostics and maintenance tomorrow, and see you all at THE PURSUIT. (if i make it down there alive)

Will be representing Nuforce at the Nuforce booth for the Pursuit... so come by and say hi.

Another round of thanks to the CL members that stood up with my BS idea and all nighters to pull this off - RMMGS4, Solo, kokonutjc, josephdoc.
