Colorado is fun!
How many hep shops can you find in Lake Geneva? In Colorado, where Rocky National Park is; the town is named "Estes Park." This town is like Lake Geneva, small shops,restaurants, vacation homes. I think I walked by tons of hep shops while I was there back in 2000. I guess if you live in the mountains for few months; you have to be entertained some how?
--------
I learned how to paint wheels today! I'm making that whole 8-10 hour project into "One wheel per a week" project. I'm painting my stockies a dark silver. Even if I screwed up, it won't matter since I'm using them for winter. But I did accidently paint the current balance weights so when I get new tires within the next few months; they are going to have a tough time ripping them out.
But I also, painted my plastic dash pieces; red. Now I f**ked that up! Over sprayed and theres spots. I made the mistake by not take out the center dash, steering wheel pieces out of the car. I did paint the pieces you can easily take out like the handles and dash gauge ring. Everything else is sanded fade silver

There is a nice DIY somewhere around here for painting the dash pieces. I purchased the climate control piece from my local scrap place. Going to test paint that next week. Carbon fiber over lay is pretty nice looking. When i get it all done ill post some pic's. The big thing about DIY paint is to take your time. Pure price was $ 20,300. i think. Traded in xb2. Previous car was tc rs 1.0 2100/2500

If anyone else is looking to get rid of some stuff, let me know. Been looking for some rims and springs for awhile now. All the good stuff for sale always seems to be in SOCAL.
Anyone got some leads on either some super 7's or the dezond na exhaust (or any nice sounding for that matter) hit me up.
Springs too
