That’s awesome, you’ve gotta be excited to have it back! How long was it in the shop?

Have not had it for about a year, it sat finished for a long time since I moved to the Lake/Hill country by Austin.

Looks fantastic!

How did you get around the SRS light for the steering wheel?

Resistor, like you would do for the spoiler delete/3rd brake light removal to put out the bulb failure.

Thanks man, you still have a Volvo? What happened to the wagon?

You have to have a small house into that car by now. 
 

 

Probably.  25 years in the family now.

I think Joe or someone made a how to on it. I think it was just a resistor.

Porsche looks good.

I just got the 850 back Saturday, drove it back to Austin. Tune needs some work but its got a new engine, dash, PDR, headliner, paint job, tires, starter, fuel pump, and master slave cylinder for the M56.

I feel your pain.  

Maybe keep it simple?

Do you have adjustable struts on there? Looks like you have a decent amount of camber

That's what she said.

No, they are KWV2 installed with some neg camber.  Iphone pic distorts it, they look straight in person.

Went out two weekends ago with some locals.

Next to a custom painted  V70 "slab."

Blew an intercooler hose on Sunday trying to get a log, glad I had a vice grip and leatherman in my dash.

Yes, 3 and 1/2 years ago.

Seats look like new, as when I got them.

I think this car has less than 3000 miles in the last 5 years.

I suppose a cage and harness are next if i can get the car tuned properly.

Steering wheel and fire extinguisher mounted. I also had paintless dent repair done to the whole car.

For $400 all six panels look like glass.  I cannot believe how good it looks.  23 years of dings and dents gone.

For the common person, who is not really into guns, their motivation to own one is usually home protection/personal defense.  I need to protect family/property.

I am fine with someone like Chuck owning an arsenal, because that's what he does, but for public health people who think they need one and getting one to be "safer", all data shows it only increases their risk of being shot by owning one.

What say you Charles? Should there be a gun in every home, car, carry, and purse?

Has anyone heard from Erik or Lucas or Aaron? Wondering how they're weathering the floods in Houston? When I talked with Lee on Saturday he said Lucas was still clear of the floods.

I am fine, we made sure to buy our first home in one of the highest points of inner Houston - with good drainage. We did get 8-10 inches in an couple hours three separate times. The culverts on both sides are about four feet deep from the lawns.

My street on the 2nd of three bad rain events from Harvey.

Aaron Hehr is also ok and his shop didn't get flooded as far as I know.  Lucas I do not know about, he lives south of Houston and they got it worse. Juan had one of his his Volvo's flooded but I didn't here anything bad about his home or family.

Many of my friends had their houses completely flooded, and still have feet of water in their homes as of now, and are not allowed to go to them.

ps-  is this where you fantasize abut my saggy nuts or did you ever stop?

That really got to you last year, sorry about that.

I stopped caring once I found out how small-minded the prick was behind them.

I think this guy could be president someday.  He's your typical liberal pussy.

Moulton pivoted to the president. “When people say Donald Trump ‘tells it like it is,’ it’s a crooked way to get at the same thing,” he said. “Like, they’re so anxious for somebody who will just be honest as a politician that they voted for a guy who’s absolutely dishonest but he just says things in a sort of, quote-unquote ‘real’ way. Right? That’s what people are yearning for...Of course you should expect your leaders to tell the truth. When I went through [Officer Candidate School], you could fail a test, you could fail an academic test, an athletic test—like, they give you a second shot. But if you lied about anything, you were gone immediately. Pack your bags and you’re out. And by the way, when you fail out of OCS, you don’t go in to be an enlisted Marine—you just go home. Like, that’s how important integrity is. And so we just need more of that. And people in America know that.”

Shoe in like that 2017 result?  lol "Trump will never be president". lol,.  Yall keep em coming. I am loving it!

 

Please, let us know when Trump decides to be president.  

All my fuckyoubucket links in the notable build threads still work, did those get moved over to Chuck's server?

What about medium cats? Mt. Lion, NA panther, so on?

Aren't there less than 300 FL panthers?  What is the thrill of killing a cat that is not eating your neighborhood birds?

Did you get the carbon ceramic brake upgrade?

Looks like the competition package.

Looks great Hussien, really has come together. A British racing green/ Volvo olive would be lovely on it ...

I'm not running fender liners, which is something pretty shitty to give up, but I just try not to drive when it is wet or on dirty roads.

When is it not wet and dirty in Denver?  I'll be there all next week.

We had a solution many years ago, I still have no rub,

Grasses, roots, berries, tubers, insects, trash cans, squirrels, salmon, and the occasional hiker.

Meh, black panther Muslim born in Kenya to white racist silver spoon billionaire running our government.

That's America.

When the trans goes, you have a manual swap ready?

Awesome.  Want one to run a bit richer?

Yes, and cooler. High boost and high summer temps looming = knock in the future.  Aaron's recommendation.

I got a lot of stuff going on up front blocking the radiator.
