About 1:oopm today I received a refund for my M7 Tuning Catch Can.  They refunded me $126.65 of the $142.59 I paid them.  As with most business done over the internet shipping is not refundable. In this case I think it was kind of a crappy move though.  Read the whole story starting here. I [...]

They are lining up right now. Tim told me the run up Mt. Evans at night can get kinda hairy. Lots of wildlife and slow going. I’ll pass, my Lasik surgery has left me with less than steller night vision. It’s doable, but not worth it I think. I’m staying to drink a little Guinness [...]

Day Two is coming to an end. I started the day off with a wash and dry at the carwash. Thanks Tina for letting me use your wheel brush. Once my “mini” detail was complete I headed over to the parking structure. We all swapped stories till about 10am. The Turquoise Lake run was lining [...]
