I vote we allow our Sponsor to do the planning, and We ALL have the Fun!

The wife and I had a Blast. We haven't had that much fun enroute to a destination as we had in our "Convoy"!!

I posted the pics I have at the TNTDFW Yahoo group, and on The T-Spot.
(too big to post here)

LOL I still wanna hear the stories about that road trip guys!

This black CC looks very sharp! Who's is it and what are the specs on the wheels???

Thanks for the compliment. They are akuza blade wheels with 305/45/22 Nitto 420s tires. Very aggressive tread design and hugs the road like no other tire I've had. Very happy I went with these instead of the kuhmos.

And for any of you guys who haven't seen Ray's truck in person? The pics don't do it NEAR justice.

I went with a flowmaster 50 series single in/dual out with custom 2.25" pipes exiting behind the wheels. I took a chance on the setup as it cost me almost as much as an actual catback system but I was very impressed with the turnout and so was the shop owner.

thanks again guys. Maybe I'll bring a few more slabs to the next meet. I really enjoy bbq'ing and smoking meats so I'll volunteer to man the grill if you guys want to do something of the sort.

they came out pretty good I think. I don't think I put enough coats of paint on the calipers, but that's because I am judging by how much paint was left in the can. I can probably tell a little bit better this morning when I go in the garage to see what it looks like since it's fully dried and cured by now.

Awesome... I hope to see pictures

Where you able to do all 4 or did you just get the first 2 done?

Elbo · 10-10-2006, 07:43 AM

Well ouch! I should add, those are ideas, for the sponsor to work with.
I like getting the ball rolling. And letting those who are better at this
stuff than me, "Big Red, Tat2me, NascarJody" keep the ball rolling. I stay super busy and I also run a 2,500+ member Mercury Capri club. I try to stay hands off as much
as possible.

No Offence meant.
(Which is why I added; your Job keeps you Busy)

I'm good for keeping the Momentum, but "Good Ideas" is my Weakness.

I just wish I had the Finances to be a "Sponsor".

**Carbeaux** · 10-10-2006, 08:41 AM

Hey Elbo, I was only kidding in my nomination. I just sincerely thought you had some great ideas there. The next great idea you've had? Having a sponsor handle it all!!

Chris

nascarjody · 10-10-2006, 06:09 PM

I just want to thank everyone that was able to show up at the meet & hope to see more of yall next year. I like the ideas that elbo has & will pass them on to GFtitan. He will be getting the meet together next year because he LIVES in austin & can check more thing out. Thanks again for all the complements. NAME TAGS is a must.

It was pretty funny! Jaho, did you see him?? lol

I saw him, he was a jackass.

Too bad we didn't see any Hemi's with an attitude, I know RBs was itching to box one in!!

It was a great meet, thanks to all who posted pictures here.

Carbeaux,

I really appreciate the comment. I try very hard to keep it nice and clean. Not an easy task, and for those of you that has had a black vehicle before, you know what I mean. My wife was surprised at how many positive comments I received for our Titan. That's a good thing because when it's time for the next mod, I'll make sure she remembers that a nice, clean, tastefully modded titan is very much appreciated by fellow titan owners. I hope to see all you guys at our DFW meet next month. I've been volunteered to do bbq ribs also and we'll have a good time as usual. See you guys there and again, thanks for all of the positive feedback.
