You are always welcome to come hang with us. In fact, we have work to do on Alok's and Kevin's cars, so there's stuff to be done.

In fact, I'm going to Matt's in Dallas Friday night. I've got to come back Saturday night tho. You'd be welcome to ride with me, but I'd fully understand if you can't do it.

We'll be replacing the shocks and struts on my car this Sunday at Kevin's house. You are more than welcome to stop by.

dammit.

All this cool wrenching going on this weekend, and I can't play on Sunday. CRAP! Oh well, my father-in-law is pretty cool too, so I guess it's not all bad. If his plans weren't so solid, I'd drag him up to Kevin's house!

So which car on the site has the 951 Doom engine in it. Is it #31? Come-on we need a good story!

Thanks

Hey Matt
What are you going to be doing to your car and when are you going to do it this weekend? If you are just up in Coppell then you are close to Grapevine. I'd like to come by, help out and meet some of the folks. Since I got my car I've been tracing electrical problems and fixing locks, mirrors, and sunroofs. If nothing else, I've learned a lot about the central locking system and stupid PO tricks. These cars can go through a lot in 18 years.
