maybe this will help give an idea of what we saw today. big blinding light at the base of the tower... then the shuttle blasting up.... really just took a few seconds to really get going... sometime during "throttle down," a deep bass tone roar came over and really shook us.... about 30 seconds later it got really bright again with the "throttle up..." our view looked something like this sort of except the sun at the opposite end of the horizon getting ready to set. wish i could be just a mile or two away from that epic blast next time. just wanted to share.

Cool... I got to see the last night launch last year.....

JohnKoaWood

I shined her up real purty like... and looked at cameras so I can start taking better pictures! My phone sucks for taking them!

Darwantae951

Is that a 951 I see?

JohnKoaWood

Shhhh, its sleeping (it has blanket on)... dont wake it up, pocket book cant take it right now... but sooooooonnnnn... oh so soooonnnnnn... it is ON!

Court on Monday, she isn't contesting... I need to find a house... with a big *** garage!

Darwantae951

Move to Utah! Houses are cheap!

JohnKoaWood

And jobs????

How about Porsche Parts????

OH, and what did I do for her today??

I just agreed on price and terms for a new set of wheels!

Now I have some leg work to do to sell off a set or two of wheels.... but these new ones should do just fine! BTW, these mean I currently have 5 sets of wheels, 4 of which have good rubber... for 2 cars...

<3 to those wheels

JohnKoaWood

Now the question is what color to have them powder coated... I know this sick place that could wood grain powder coat them.. or any of a hundred different specialty coatings...

I have a sickness.. a serious sickness... someone take away my paypal account... please....

Darwantae951

I'm a fan of Satin Black!

JohnKoaWood

I'm not sure satin black would work on these... how bout Chevy orange?

OK, never mind... just found pics of them in black... yup...

OH, and I'm not sure Utah could handle another non-running 951 right now!



OK, and just thought of another problem... I have this problem on my 951 as well... the big rims... they make our brakes look sooo small... hmmmm might have to do something... hell no I dont... rewind, erase!

Darwantae951

IMO Satin black goes well with silvers and greys. Either way, those wheels will look awesome!

V2Rocket

+1 for the woodgrain

I think red would be sick.... but hey! How'd did that carpet look?

JohnKoaWood

Carpet looks light years above the carpet it is replacing... I unpacked it, will be giving it a good cleaning and once over... touch up and trouble spots and get it in once I have seats to go in! (working deals for one of 2 sets at the moment.... one local the other from across the country)..

slowly she is getting whittled down to just the body needing work!
