  1. Totally missed this one. Sorry, all, nothing personal. Dang, and missed a tune opportunity, too. Thanks for rattling my cage - you guys are great.
  2. WHAT?...What a joke. You mean that is all it takes to pull home truck of the month? Haha... . You have an amazing truck - it's a testament to several things, but unarguably your taste and work quality. Now that I think about it, it's a dang good thing you are such a stand-up guy, cause sharing a town with such a damn nice truck is kind of downer...I mean...I always have to go home and drive my truck, not yours. Talk about serious jealousy.
  3. My 'list' is lame and really is just a single item...I bought a spare PCM for a tune that is just sitting there.
  4. I think internet connectivity in a vehicle is a great idea. Geez, you can't protect stupid people from themselves. I'm kinda surprised to see posts applaud the SC's decision on 2nd, but think a potential internet distraction is a bad idea because idiots will misuse it. Chrysler might not share my vision of the kinds of coolness this could bring, but a connected vehicle would be great IMO.
  5. Drove from Des Moines, IA to Columbia, MO last weekend and took US-63 the whole way. Saw a blue SSS w/ hood stripes for sale in IA and another red SSS in LaPlata, MO. Anyone from the forum?
  6. Nice. What time on Sunday? BTW, they just announced evac for portions of downtown!
  7. I think the flow rate numbers coming outta the lake are much higher. They were talking about peaks of 1.2 billion gallons / hour. That'd be 20 million gallons / minute or 333,333 gallons per second! Think I saw a quote that that rate would fill all pools in the city in 12 seconds. As long as I didn't just make that crap up, that'd mean that the 66,000 gallons Chris referred to would come out in .2 seconds. Craziness.
  8. Nighmares on Wax, Michael Franti w/ Spearhead, Thievery Corp
  9. I went with Cooper Discoverer HT Plus. I had a bit of initial regret as the new coopers just didn't have the same aggressive / sporty feel on dry pavement as the old bald goodyears. But after digging out one of the goodyears and looking at it again, heck, they were practically slicks. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised. After a full winter on the HT Plus...nothing but two thumbs up. I was surprised how little I felt I had to keep my foot out of the gas throughout the winter. AWD in the snow was tons of fun and these tires handled admirably. I will state, though, that I've never had a chance to drive another SSS w/ other tires in the winter.
  10. Honestly, I'm not really considering one. I guess I wasn't that clear...I just hadn't made up my mind on the look. I don't have a need, so won't be getting one. It was just a different kind of look so was curious about the responses.
  11. I had come across the Snug Top - Top Gun topper while searching a few months back, but never could imaging what it'd look like on an SSS. Stumbled on this ebay auction with one included with an SSS. I can't decide...I think this could really grow on me. What do you all think? Ebay Auction - SSS w/ Top Gun topper
  12. I have been fortunate enough to have seen this creation and it is A-freaking-mazing. Definitely drool-worthy already, both from an aesthetic and audible perspective. Even more anxious to hear this puppy get dialed in. Man, if you were to ever change your screen name I would propose '12Vwizard'!
  13. wow, the more time passes the farther behind my lil SS feels compared to your truck. Can't wait to check it out how it looks...and sounds! As always, very impressive work.
  14. 1984 Toyota Supra. Dang I wish I still had that car.
  15. You guys have a muffler bearing out or something. Or maybe a loose piston blinker wire.
