'Murrrrca

Got stateside last night... ahh, freedom tastes good (and so does beer). I tied one on with a bit of Glendfiddich 12 year and several Fat Tires in celebration, much to my chagrin this morning. Anyway, I managed to sweat the hangover out so no harm, no foul.

Project: Vanessa is more or less finished at this point. Kooks long tube 1 3/4" headers flowing through a catless X-pipe into Borla's ATAK (read: loudest) exhaust... should sound pretty wicked, but not annoyingly loud or drone-y. My wheels are powdercoated and going on tomorrow, wrapped in new Continental rubber of the all-weather variety, since I got damn near 30k out of my last set - and they perform incredibly well, somehow.

Definitely ready to get behind the wheel this weekend. I haven't driven anything smaller than an MRAP since June, so a 500+ horsepower land rocket should feel like sex. Hopefully I can keep my foot out of it!
