Taking it to the Humane Society to get checked out today.....

Whys that? Your hamster having problems? Or is it just that his wheel is getting squeaky.

Tinted windows are a no-go, I don't need any more reason for the cops to keep an eye on me.

Nick I would agree with this statement 110%. Do you really want to deal with your friendly neighborhood law enforcement every time you pull out of the driveway? I mean they already think we are arsonists!

Tint it and spray the wheels a gun metal color.

Mine is tinted limo and my DD, just keep the windows down as much as the weather will allow that's what I do.

Also get a note from your eye doctor, or make one up that looks 100% legit
(I'm going to bribe my eye doctor next time to write me a note)

The eye doctor note works fine here in Auburn Hills,
A fellow employee said they pulled him over twice, each time with the note, and they have entered his car in the system as 'legal to have tint' or something so he doesn't get pulled over anymore.

I actually do have some vision problems, particularly light sensitivity. At night, oncoming headlights make me go blind temporarily, and it takes my eyes quite a while to adjust to extreme bright/dark lighting conditions. I could probably get away with getting a note from my doctor. I should be going in for another eye exam in the next couple of months, it's about time for new glasses again. . .

As for spraying the wheels gunmetal gray, I've been contemplating that one for a while. I've got the chrome C5's back on it right now, and the chrome is flaking off much worse than before now. I'm thinking I might just take the grinder to them and paint them this summer. They'll look 110% better, and maybe they'll actually have some resale value when I decide to upgrade. . . These are the rims I REALLY want, I think they are amazing. . .

That was a fun afternoon, BTW. I never would have thought I would have that many cops come running into my driveway at once! I'm surprised they didn't have guns drawn! lol

Um, they aren't interchangeable? I was thinking of making a custom cowl hood, but I'd need a spare 'bird hood that I could take down to the bare steel. . . Anybody got one?

OK Now you have to tell the story.

Alrighty then. . .

Last summer, probably May or early June, Ben, Jen, and I went to the local Wal Mart to get some hamburgers and other necessities for a cookout we were having at my place. We make our selections, checkout, and start walking out to the car. We look over at this new strip mall that was built next to Wal Mart, and there is a large cloud of black smoke billowing from behind the building. There were no fire trucks around, so we hop into the Camaro, and drive around the back of the strip mall. Some moron had lit a mattress on fire next to a dumpster. Great. We pull back around the front of the building, and I try to call 911 from my cell phone to call in the fire. The call doesn't go through. We go into a video game store there, and after having the clerk call in the fire, we are back on our way. We leave, and I decide to romp on the 'maro a little bit. Keep in mind Wal Mart is maybe 5 miles from my house. I'm driving maybe 10-15mph over the 35mph speed limit on the 4 lane highway that I live on, I see an opening in the oncoming rush-hour traffic, and zip through the 2 oncoming lanes into my driveway. I pull around behind the building, swing out, and start to back into my spot next to the garage. About 2 seconds after I put the car into reverse, a man in street clothes comes walking over from my neighbor's driveway telling us to get out of the car, put the keys on the ground, shouting commands. After we are out of the car (I was contemplating getting back in and running, since he didn't show any ID or a badge or anything and I thought he was going to try to rob us or something), he identifies himself as a Michigan State Police Detective. He shows us his badge, and 2 more vehicles pull up to my neighbor's driveway. One is a black Chevy Impala with red/blue lights, the other is the typical MSP Blue Chevy Suburban with the pushbar, light on the roof, and logos on the doors. A uniform walks up, and the guy in the Impala, who happened to be wearing a suit, stays over by his car on a cell phone. The detective starts interrogating me, asking why we were at Wal Mart, why we were driving so fast, what we were doing behind the strip mall, etc. I showed him the call history on my cell phone to show that we called in the fire, and he called the video game store and asked the clerk about us (she remembered us), and told the detective about our cookout, even asked if he wanted to stick around. The uniform jumps in and asks if he can search my car. I said "Go ahead, there's nothing in there." He asks to see the back, searches under my sub box, basically looking for a box of matches or a lighter or something, which he doesn't find. He noticed my radar detector on the dash and proceeds to lecture me on how they don't work and that I should take it out of my car right now blah blah blah. Very disrespectful. The detective tells us thank you for calling in the fire, and the uniform says "Try to drive a little more safely on city streets, there are kids here, you know." and they all leave. We proceed onto my front porch, fire up the grill, and a little later on, we enjoy some tasty burgers.

That's about all there is to the story. I can add in a chase scene or maybe a dead hooker or something to make it more fun, but it's really pretty cut-and-dry.

Of course Nick, you had to mention those damned hookers! I downed Sam Adams for like a week trying to get the taste of weed and hooker spit out of my mouth.... J/k.

You never know what is going to happen when we get together.

Oh and on a serious note, don't get new glasses yet. You have only had yours for like a year. First, because glasses are expensive as hell and secondly because if you change prescriptions to often you can damage your eyes.

I'm not getting a new prescription, just new glasses. I'm going in to get my eyes checked because they said I should have them checked once a year. My old glasses are just about falling apart, and I'd like to get something that's going to hold up a little better. I don't know what my prescription was, so I need to get another copy from my eye Dr.

I like that idea ^. How about a prismatic clear coat flames over the front end? I'll bring the paint card Jeff made up for me for my stock color with the prismatique.

[BP_Z28]

ghost flames are always sexy..duno what they would look like on a bird though? Never seen them on one..i dont think

[Naterman35]

I don't think I've ever seen ghost flames on a red car period. I always see them on darker cars.

And yeah you can do the note thing for tint.. HOWEVER... Theres to ways to do it... one its a card or something and then the other your actually registered or something.

I can't remember what they are exactly. But if its the one were your registered you can get a ticket for driving any vechile without tint.. isn't that lame.
