Quickie

Tonight after work I wanted some fresh air as well as to tinker with my rides. The weather tonight could not decide if it wanted to rain or not, so doing yard work or anything major was out. When last at Carlisle, I picked up a billet aluminum grille for my truck. Bingo. Nice, less-than-half-hour project.

Smooooth. Hides the unpainted intercoolers, wiring and such that's way too visible under the eggcrate grille, and protects those very expensive pieces from being damaged by thrown debris. Plus it looks better IMO. And it was only a 20 minute project. Woot.

I started making more use of my Flickr page, as you probably can tell. I upgraded to a Pro account to have video and more groups. This is why you'll probably see more link-portals to my endless gawdawful photography cropping up. I try my best though.

Right now, the 2007.5 Chevy Silverado 2500HD you see here, a 2000 Dodge Stratus ES which used to be Mom's car but I kept it since it's been very reliable and practical (only mods to it really are a sound system and wheels/tires), my old '89 Dodge W250 Cummins turbo that's seen better days, the 2003 Mini Cooper S, and my old '69 Dodge Dart that's been mothballed for years.. I have two other cars, a wrecked '89 Shadow ES turbo and a 90 Sundance with a blown engine. These two will one day make one car that I will either sell or strip down and use for low-buck drag racing.
