one lucky wife, has she driven yore other cars, that motor is rock solid, Love the current look but she needs to make it hers as you said look forward to it, tell her no pressure only thousands of people want to see. :)

She has driven all my cars, She Mainly drove my Newer Funco this trip and hopefully she gives it back. The car is a looker for sure. It is going to get a removable windshield and newer Funco shifter first and change out the older faded colors. Thought about some hairdryers but I best be careful. Definitely happy wife happy life

Congrats, cant wait to see the personal touch you add to it.

Thank you.

I am going to let my wife pick everything out, so don't blame me. She has some wild ideas.

Car didnt look that bad.  it was ripping pretty good on Saturday!

In my OCD I was searching. I wanted to find a nice car for my wife and a backup for my trips. I really should not of bought another car but it's an addiction. My good buddy @Hondajimz knew of the car and I made an offer after speaking to the owner numerous times. A good friend of mine handled the logistics and brought it out to me . I will say this cream puff ran great, looked even better in person. Surprisingly it gave me no issues, love a turn key car with plenty of power. I am going to send it in for a rendition, so my wife can personalize it to her liking.

I had a G52 and would have no problems buying another. I’ve even been eying the F Bomb. 

F bomb is bad ass and in my camp....

Let me see what I can find for you. I have a nice rental you can use. LOL

May you enjoy your journey and teh memories always be spoken about! Cheers till you come back.

I always wanted to camp at keyhole, but I don't arrive early enough..

Congrats..

All great feedback.  I always see the ballers on Pad 3 and 5 and I always wonder why they like that certain spot.  For me pad 4 is great when there isn't a lot of people. My camp crew now likes pad 1 for the ease in and out on gecko. I will not camp on vendors anymore because the dust just kills me. Roadrunner is great, but always hard to find a spot for 4 or 5 rigs.

So I was thinking last night we have camped all over glamis. The washes, Cement flats, the canal, the pads, roadrunner but never keyhole. Why do most people like where they camp? I see a lot of people like Pad 3, pad 4, and so on and so on.  What makes those spots so great?

Thanks for the input.

I am looking at putting a mini split in my Pool / guest room. What did you spend? What is entailed in the costs? I just got quoted 5K for it installed 15K BTU. I was originally thinking $2500 to 3K. Anyone share their thoughts?

Looks great!

My buddy just did S4 to s5d and it was expensive. Changing of tubes angle of engine and plumbing got changed, exhaust, trans was 19k I think. I would call grant he can give you the details.

Happy birthday buddy!

Those are the best days. no rush, no fuss. Enjoy buddy!

Happy birthday to the cool guy at the dump yesterday! Cheers buddy!

Damn I need to step up presence to be a part of the brotherhood.

If I had to do it over I’d of left mine alone. I ended up $160k into this car. New S4, shifter, aluminum, trailing arms, new hubs, CV’s, Axles, tons of fab work, re-wire, re-plumb, on & on & on. It’s crazy how fast all these new parts add up. 

 

Have you driven it and ran through the shakedown yet? Need a ride report...

I ordered my f450 in august and still have not got a build date. Bout to find one on a lot..

Yes lets see what you got! GLWTS too.

My buddy just had his car done for S5D and it was pricey to do. Bill don't cut that car up, it has been perfect for the last 3+ seasons.
