also, i am planning to go to mexico in November with friends and just want a bunch of money on hand for that.

You won't need much money for Mexico. The hookers down there are cheap (so I've heard).

plus cant beat weight savings of titanium.

You need all the weight savings you can get with that pig. So I guess
you would be putting lipstick on a pig?

oh i know we went last year. it's the plane ticket that costs all the money. last year was 650 round trip. but i have been enjoying seeing the number in my account lately sooooo exhaust and whatnot type purchases i'm like do i need it right now? lol

i will say the GTR being quiet but still the fastest car on the road has its advantages. i blew past a few cops with no extra attention or them hearing me coming over a mile away lol

The sheets start to delaminate at the weld.

QC starts to check random pieces of the order. They all failed inspection. That just about bankrupt Fruehauf for failing to meet schedule.

Never seen anything like that.

That's a headache! I've never even heard of that happening before, but we buy and handle a specialty product (high nickel iron alloy) for magnetic shielding. We deal with France mostly, some from Germany.

Yes, got some repairs to do first. Then I will re-purpose the 55 gal drums to take to the local station to fill up with pump E85.

Researched on Bobistheoilguy about using E85 in your car and oil change recommendations. It appears all is normal, lower mileage oil change intervals are not needed. Loose Race engines you shorten up but nothing out of the ordinary. People freak out about everything. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Man, the sky already fell. Fluffy clouds all over my floor.

On second thought my dog may have torn her bed apart again...
