    Maybe put the 16V's old tail lights on as they are in better shape than the Slegato's.
    One thing down...and the stock harness I ordered showed up today, along with some large 20" tires from Tire Rack for Mandy's car.

And seriously, would I rather look at some cool retro wheels, or your mug pouting about your car being not done? Again...Tough call....

    Ah, who am I kidding, two of my three Sciroccos could become non functioning all on their own by then. hell, maybe *I* will be the one buttering someone up for a ride.....

    Isn't that the truth. Although I could easily envision pulling an all-nighter to get one mobile prior to Cincy - not like I've never done that before.

    My "need to do" list is this:

    Change oil
    Wash

    My "want to do" list is this:

    Fix head unit
    Refinish and install new wheels
    Install air horns

    Not too bad of a list, knock wood.

    Weddings are overrated. Friday and Saturday are the big days for Cincy - Sunday is usually "pack up and go home" day.

    That is no excuse Robert. We will expect to see you there for at least a couple hours on Friday or Saturday. Seriously, you'll need a study break, and they don't start 'til Monday - what's Sunday for??

    Victor is running! Motor is smooth and just have to play with the wiring a bit.
    During inspection they found that the PS nav light and indicator dont work. Hummm...
    Light seems ok. Any ideas why both would go out at the same time?

    Um... wedding invites haven't been out, and only a bit over month to go? Is she Hot enough to be that arrogant? If so, is she smart enough to see the obvious conflict with "getting hitched"?


    Not to be rude, but I'd say hell with DJ'ing; tell her to post the honeymoon videos and all can attend vicariously, which is about fair for the courtesy she's giving you.

    First one maybe? I seem to recall seeing it once. IIRC 2007 was the first Cincy for all 3 of us.
