I doesn't help that I'm maybe 20 mins from Don at Champion.......and he has my "dream vehicle"

All the colors (well, that's the old black and not the brilliant black, he had two brilliant blacks that were by themselves detailed since he's taking them to the west coast):

Hoping to join the ranks of ownership later on this year :D


Now I suppose I should actually do something productive like print out pictures of some of our work projects to add to the portfolio to show clients :)

Yep, I think everyone I know is sick of hearing about SRTs as well :D

Can't say enough about dealing with Don......great guy, called him yesterday with a question and he was at the dealership and I had a couple hours to kill before getting a couple of our company trucks lettered again since they just got painted and he was like "sure come on out and we'll BS a bit and look at the SRT8s". Great guy to deal with :)

For some reason I was staring at your post for like a minute before I could hit the quote button :D

I'm normally not a fan of red.....but that red rock is a badazz color.



CRZYCUBAN2,

That should stop with my work load coming up starting tomorrow :D

It was funny when I was in there last weekend to see them in the daylight since it was dark out the first time I saw them.......he's asking me about diesel performance products (since that's what I've been into along with lifted full sizes) and I'm asking him about the SRT8 :rofl:

I plan on leaving him alone now till I'm ready to pull the trigger :)

My buddy had a black 07 on his lot and took it for a burn. Had to have one, after that nothing else would do. Was driving home when I spotted an 08 in steel blue on a dealer lot. With the interior changes (dash,color), and the fact this other one had the SRT1, SRT2 packages and MGIG- I went home and figured how to get into it. If you love how they look, take one out for a burn- you'll be selling off your furniture (maybe a child?) to grab one. 2 hours after driving it off you'll forget all about having to pay for it!!

Already trying to sell off all the truck parts I have extra or that I bought to modify and sell :D

Cool.
The local field we used to play at (Chicago Paintball Factory) closed up. Nice indoor action and some D3 and D4 teams would go in there to play (Team Never?? and Resistance).
Always wanted to check out the Badlands.
Haven't played in a little over a year now....have a ST DM5 with the ultralite grip frame and break beam eyes, and a modded ION was my starter/now backup.
My buddy bought a bunch of bunkers so we're planning to set them up in his back yard so we can keep playing.

let me know when you want to check out the borla.

i've been to badlands and others. it's been awhile since we've gone PBing. i used to have a shocker...

definitely fun, but getting older and out of shape does not do well for PBing. hahahhahaa

Yep! I think it is official. You have the Itis! Go on and buy the thing. I am an accountant. No one is more anal retentive than me! I promise! I worried over and over about the purchase. And it was one of the dumbest financial decisions I have ever made. And I have loved every single moment of it. Go ahead! Join the power elite! There is just no replacement for the thrill you get behind the wheel of one of these things. You really are in an elite group as an owner. You have supreme comfort and class and hardly anyone has any more juice than what is under your right foot! It's a hoot man!

Cool. I'll drop you a PM here in a bit.

I hear ya on the getting older and out of shape. Although we'd always surprise on the younger/smaller players.......and the "Resistance" (house team...D4 I think?) learned quickly not to underestimate us :D
I was told if you're over 5'6" that you're tall for paintball? I'm over 6'.
Best was my friends running up to my bunker to cover for me to do a run through and having them huffing and puffing over my shoulder telling me "GO!!" :)

Tell me about, but you only live once and you can't take the money with you when you die right???

We like using that line on certain long time clients, on the neighbor of our shop who I always tell to buy a new company truck, etc... :D

I think you've been looking at king's sig too long.....wondering about jeep tits :D

Yep, the laptop is nice.....got it in the fall when my 9yr old gateway pc in the office took I dump. So, opted for the xps and then got a hd enclosure to I could still access all the old info I had on that hd.



Matt,
I'm working on it......just cut a deal last night that will get me a little more $$ each month to put in the SRT fund and then go towards the payments.

Yep, back to doing online sales and tech support for a company on a few different ford truck forums. Figure I'm on there anyway, I might as well get paid again for it :D

Also talking with them about possibly carrying my bumpers that I modify on their site once their web store is online.

Don,

Be sure to post the new MODERN BLUE when you get one in.

I am psyched.

I want an 09, and do a home-made rear mount turbo, with spray.

By then, the tuning will be all figured out, and I will be high 10s going to daycare
instead of low 11s. LOL
