Pitsburgh is a whole other planet.

Folks think NYC is strange, but wow...

I need to go and eat at some of the Pitts famous eateries, and I hear the city is beautiful.

Confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela to form the...?

"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln

There is nothing more relaxing than taking a drive at 2am down a smooth road, looking at the city lights and enjoying a cigar. Best way to unwind from a stressful day.

Would be a little more relaxing if my car wasn't so loud but it feels good.

Plus freaking one. I've never smoked a cigar but I totally love driving late at night. It's so nice when there aren't other cars on the road :lol:.

Technically, whenever I want it to be. :P But I'm probably going to make my last day either the week of or the week after Christmas.

So I am stuck between three boost gauges

Autometer Phantom II
Posted Image
Posted Image

Autometer Z Series
Posted Image

and the Prosport Green/White
Posted Image

I like the idea of having a 20psi Boost gauge since I will never go over 20 psi... but not sure if I should get 30psi max.

I like the Z-Series "Volvo" look.

I never really got into the hype of those chairs until my school had them in all of their studios. Soooo good.
