Re: Random
I know it's hard to stay on-topic all the time, but there are plenty of other forums on the interw3b for the off-topic banter.
Definitely hard for me to be consistent on every thread that pops up, but I try to give some slack without getting myself into any trouble with Admin, etc.
I'm all for the camaraderie of a place to exchange thoughts and ideas with your fellow hobbyists.
Just keep it decent in the threads and to each other!

Yep, that's where I live, pretty bad huh? Definately better than when I lived in Sac, no offense. It's in Gardnerville/Carson city. The 1st one with the big building in the background is in South Lake tahoe at work.

Re: Random
I'm really getting exited about "The 2nd Annual Rocklin Automotive GTG"
I have already started talking to my sales rep's, telling them I need shirts, hats, fender covers, etc, etc,
Maybe we should have a theme this year "Swap Meet GTG" bring some car parts for sale or trade. I know I have alot of stuff that I just cant use anymore, ie Holley Stealth Ram, battery box, Nitrous Sniper set up, wheels, tires, etc, etc.
