Yeah, it's way boring, lol. I told Tom that normally when I drive through nebraska, I set the cruise around 100 to make it go a bit faster.

can you really get away with going 100 and not getting busted? Sounds like a place I'd like to visit.

Montana was fun like that...

Oh yeah. Then what's worse is after a while 100 seems slow.

Of course, those speeds aren't even breaking a sweat in an SVX though.

One time I was coming back from visiting a buddy in college, driving back through Kansas and it's even worse in some places! There's not even like.. grass or dirt, its just... rocks, and nothing! I had my cruise set at 115 for about 65 miles and had no hassle at all.

*disclaimer* I am not encouraging you to speed, or to double posted speed limits. *

Sometimes its just hard not to though! lol

He actually liked some of the things I did! Nice bit of sushi for dinner and he was off late last night.

Thank you very much Tom and safe travels for the remainder of your journey!

Well I am giving the suspension in the Fonz a break while most of my parts and tools are unloaded. In the process of Shelfy's 5mt swap since his front diff is definitely shot. You can watch the process live at the following link for those of you who do not know. http://www.livevideo.com/liveshow/TomsSVX

Tom

The live feed is a cool idea!

To bad we can only see the top of someones head working on the floor.....

Just giving you a hard time!

On your way back, there is an SVXer in dallas who may need some assistance, i'll call him up and see if he wants to get ahold of you.

Really neat, Tom. I like the idea of the live camera going - but where's the "pole".....

Shelfy's car is waaaay up on the jack stands and it's very bright outside of the garage. Now, where is YT and Shelfy?

we get 300+ days of sun each year so it's normal to be bright outside. it is unseasonably warm though (mid 70s).

tom is around, but unfortunately, i'm stuck at work and watching the webcam too.

Looks like YT got a haircut....
