Come out of my "time off"? I think I might. 4 12s in SB3 sounds like a good class to play in next year.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm at a point in my life where it seems to take more effort to stay mad at her than just give a hug and start over.

thats why i was like whoa, when i seen the pics of you two on facebook... because you had shared your past with me over beers, and i was glad to see that you were able to bury the past ... how do you feel about it now? feels pretty good. Concidering the length of time that had passed, It was time. I miss my nephew and my sister. We have a lot of catching up to do so I think I'm gonna plan a solo trip back pretty soon and hang out with her and her son. Jon, your about the only one on ssa that can say they really know me.

thanks dude. Been a long road but I love my life and wouldnt change my past.

had doubts for many years that she would ever act right. I won't get too deep in my past but my mom died when I was 13 and my dad got locked up when I was 6 for 20 years. My sister and I were all we had. Grew up on the streets pretty much. Then she got locked up when I was about 16. I has the choice to go with her or get my shit together. She live that life style for so long, its all she knew.

Could do this. This would be louder.

Had dinner last night with my sister. She is 2 years older than me. I have not seen or spoken to her in just over 10 years. When she got paroled out of prison, her and her son came to live with me. After a few months of staying there I told her to get a job or go to school. She opted to rob me blind and move out. Once insurance replaced all the stolen items, she broke in and robbed me again. Swore I wouldn't talk to her again. I was 21 years old when this happened. She went back to prison not to long after that and turned her life around and is doing good. She has 2 degrees now, owns a house, lives a normal life and helps other as her career. Was time to bury the hatchet. Just for reference she fit right in around my family. I'm the white sheep in a black family. Not to say I'm an angel. I had a long juvenile record but once I was old enough to control my own life, I did.

Dodged a huge bullet. Got my ID back just in time to come home in the morning.

And the airport just called. My ID was turned in at Portland airport. Awesome news, I am going now to pick it up.

he was more sneaky than me. I stand out!

never thought about what would happen if I lost it on a trip. At least I'm still in the US. Not on a bigger vacation. Then ill be really fucked. Also atleast it wasn't my whole wallet. Worst case ill have my wife rent me a car before she flys back, ill just drive. Maybe even take my 3yo boy with me on the road trip. Hey this could be a good thing.Might be worth a shot? http://www.consumertraveler.com/columns/oh-my-i-lost-my-id-how-am-i-going-to-get-home/ If not, road trip it is! that's not a bad idea. Ill call TSA in the morning. I didn't file a police report buy I did file a lost item deal with the airline

I'm real cautious about my wallet and thengs of that nature. Juggling 2 grumpy kids all night, I guess it fell out of my pocket after I got through security.

You don't have any other identification that someone can send overnight to you? my wife and kids are here with me. Most of my familyis in oOregon. I'm working on having someone get into my house and send my passport. We don't have many friends in Houston nor does anybody have my house key.

So I lost my drivers license somewhere between Houston, layover in denver, then on to Portland Ore. Can't fly home on Saturday with no ID. Looks like I'm renting a car and driving home.

Worth it for what? What purpose would you use them for?

Also when I say a 454 ls. This before the crate engines were available. Back in about 05. The gen 4 motors were still a new thing. Shirl Dicky down in AZ build it for us. The viper plate read VTE ETR The vette plate read VPR ETR.

Never met a NX kit I didn't like. Ran a basic Edelbrock kit back when I first bought the T/A, then switch to a NX kit(mainly for safety features), it was MUCH nicer quality equipment, but it cost double- so it shoulda been nicer.LOL. Once I had the 383 build, never put the bottle back in it, due to I couldn't get it to hook the power it had already. Now that I have a Fab 9 rear and actual drag setup to hook it- I broke the T-56 last May- been disgusted with it ever since. If/when I fix the Trans- planning to slap at 200 shot in it and see how deep in the 10's she'll run. I've never ran an nx system. We has a 500 shot zex system on our shop vette many years ago. Direct port full stand alone, dedicated fuel system, the whole 9 yards. Safest and trouble free system I've ever seen.For this I was just going to run a 100 shot in the new truck for fun. Probably not going to spray on my SS. Sweet- you mention shop vette, where do you work? I will have to run a stand alone fuel system to run my 200 shot...11.8:1 compression. Will run 100 octane just to be safe, My car will not run on anything less than 93 now. But it is small potatoes to what you have dealt with. I used to co-own a shop back in Oregon. Our shop toys were a 454 ls2 zo6 making 670 on motor. Nitrous, minitub and drs. Bested a 9.07.Also had a 99 gts/ACR. Forged 540 ci, ROE super charger, meth kit. Also tubed on DRs. Bested a 10.10. Had lots of toys in my short time. Now I have a house and family. Wifes not too keen on racing and having 2 kids.

great choice. Didn't mean to insult. Just a car that nice shouldn't have a "gey" tag number. Not watch my new truck tag is going to be stupid. Karma.

Great looking car. Gotta change that license plate tho.

Gonna throw the truck on the dyno for a tune. Any guesses on numbers before and after tuning?
