Talking Two Best Things to Happen to me in a Long Time...

The best thing can be found here...

'The Peanut'

I've seen all the posts from the guys who have had children and I've always thought, "What's the big deal?" Well, now I know and I can honestly say that she's the best thing that's ever happened to me (running neck and neck with finding a woman who was willing to bear my child)!

Can't wait to have Uncles Vinnie and RobG hook her up with some of that cash from their money trees, so her L will be decked! My wife's got her eye on a little Porsche 911 pedal car but I've got my eyes out for a Lightning for her.

And speaking of the L, and the second best thing, the wife has agreed to let me keep it. She originally wanted me to sell it since it is essentially a two-seater but she has since relented on that one. I'm thinking the hormones have come back to a somewhat normal level...that and her Ghia was just shipped off for a complete restoration. Besides, what 16 year old girl wouldn't be completely jazzed to have her pick of a Ghia convertible or an L to drive to school! So, the Porsche and Maxima will go, the L, Ghia and 'Busa will stay and the Lexus and Hummer are coming.

And the L's got a little underhood bling on the way already...Mr. Alternator chrome 200 amp alternator, Apten ported and polished blower, black powdercoated idler pulley bracket and a few other brackets, chromed Metco upper and lower pulleys and idler pulley bracket, c/f engine bay pieces from DS Motorsports and a few BilletFlow pieces too!

'oblivious,

Thanks man! And how did those fuse taps treat you??? Also, Vinnie is supposed to ask you what happened to your website...let's see if he remembers.

Shane,

Thanks to you too!

Haven't used those clips yet, but they are one of coolest clips I have ever seen. Amazing find dude.

Yep...amazing what hours of searching can turn up when you're bound and determined not to use those crappy fuse taps that go around the 'leg' of the fuse. Let me know if you need anymore as I only had to buy 100 of those damn things!!! I find myself tapping fuses for no reason other than to try to use all of these things.

Now I have two things to say
One: It don't get no better than this
and Two: It seems you have a little money plant yourself there
