Must be time for the GTP staff to be buying new houses! I just did 2 months ago, now Jerome, one other (remaining nameless as I don't think he's posted anything "out in the open") in the process...
my wife works at the elementary school that is literally 1 1/2 blocks away
I know where your wife works![/singsong]

Yes, I'm a certified internet creeper. :P

Looks good, Jerome! :cheers:

Words cant express how excited I am about this purchase!!! :dopey:

QA1 adjustable coilover springs and shocks for the front of my 69 Camaro!! 18 adjustments for the shocks. Direct bolt in!! $500.00 including spanner wrenches. I have wanted these for at least 9 years!! Should be here next week. After I install these I will be another step closer to returning to road track racing again. So happy!! :dopey:

Remind me to NEVER visit you. Ever. D:

It's still cool though.

Have you named it?

No Im not going to name a tarantula, The latin name is Haplopelma lividum aka Cobalt blue.

So awesome.

Is it your first, or have you owned other tarantulas?

This is my 2nd tarantula I used to have a Curly hair it was very tame & I could actually hold it whereas this one is nervous, highly aggressive & would bite if given the chance. I also took my friends Chile rose off him when it got too big & scary for him but I sold that as there a bit boring. My next tarantula will probably be a bird eater or a skeleton ??, not sure on the name.

Moving to the aggressive stuff then? I had a Chile Rose when I was younger and she was awesome. If I had the money for a new set-up, I'd probably get a Tiger Rump or a Skeleton, such beautiful spiders.

Cold air intake $200.

Only went with the short ram because the bumper is a paint to get off.
 
Congrats on the new purchase Camaroboy69, I think it was a wise decision for you purchase those wrenches as well. What spring rate will you be running?

I figured I might as well share this one with everyone. I've been shopping around for quite sometime for riding gear that I can use on long rides or daily commutes. I came across this deal for $199 through motorcyclecloseouts.com and couldn't pass it up. My gear is currently on it's way but here's a pic of what I ordered. Although these would be too warm for summer riding out here, I'm really looking forward to Az winter season.

I was looking so long for a Yaris, and then Dad stumbled upon this at a great deal.

150,000kms, manual, one owner.

It came with summer tires on alloy wheels as well.

So happy! :D

Nice!
 
Decided to get some things out of the way; consider these pre-ordered:

...though it seems EB is out of the special edition for GTA. Since it's one of those rare games that doesn't have stupid retailer exclusives, I think I'll just go to Best Buy next chance I get and pre-order there instead.

Also picked up PGR4 for $5... only to find out the DLC has been removed from XBL. I really wanted to try the W12 Golf :(

Oh yeah... and six of these:

A guy at work was selling the exact bike rack I have been looking for - $50 including extra brake light 👍

If you don't mind me asking... How much did you end up paying for it? Looks to be in good shape.

I got a good deal on a car I bought about three weeks ago. 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. I got it for 3,200.
It was a one owner too. It is fully loaded with power everything. Had 49,500 miles on it when I got it. I just hit 50k miles the other day. It is in amazing shape.

Congrats on the new purchase Camaroboy69, I think it was a wise decision for you purchase those wrenches as well. What spring rate will you be running?
Thank you. I am going to experiment with 300lb spring rate since I have a 383 stroker, fiberglass hood, no wheel wells, no AC, and quite a few aluminum parts under the hood. If the 300 spring rate is a bit light, I will go 350 spring rate.

UPDATE: I will be sticking with the QA1 front coilovers for now. Ridetech wants me to do a full upper and lower control arm conversion for their coilover shocks. Which would be well over $1,000-$2,000. I will do that eventually, but for now I will be more than happy with the QA1 coilovers. :)

Congrats! Maybe ridetech should sponsor you. ;)

Finally! What are you planning to do on the rear? I don't even remember if you have a sway bar in there.
