That is forum has been dead for quite a few months now  :laugh:  Where is everyone and what are you up to?  Even if it is not TGP related post up pictures/videos of your summer so far.......or at least as it wraps up for us up North!

I've been noticing that, too. I've been absent, atleast not around as much, since I've bought my house and am currently moving my stuff around.

I am on randomly when I have access.  Most of the time I post while on the road.  Wireless ftw.

How is the new house doing?  I'd love to buy your tgp but with the addition of my parts car I now have 5 vehicles in the fleet!  Way to many!

I never have anything good to post cause my cars never done... i just envy people like Ken that actually get thier car done.  Ive been slowly building my car for years so hopefully ill get it finished and get a run in before summers over.

I haven't been on much lately either.  I'm just trying to enjoy the remainder of the summer here in MN before I move to Phoenix.  Sadly, the TGP is staying behind, will probably sit in storage for a good 2 years until I come back to get it..  I'm still on the fence about what to do with the car.  I'm going to clean it up and try to get in one last photoshoot with the TGP before I leave here.

Well Ike I think you are doing a pretty big project from what I hear from Adam about you!  You will get it done, and if you need any help let me know.  Mine is my DD so if it breaks I have to fix it ASAP!  Right now I'm parting out the parts car and hoping to get it to the salvage yard by the weekend..........

It is kind of crusty.......

House is going great! Andrea moved alot of her stuff over. ALOT. In fact, I haven't gotten anything besides two shirts and two pairs of jeans moved to the new room, besides my work clothes. No kidding...but the house looks nice, Mr. Rooter came and fixed the drains today, and we've already had guests!!!

The joys of homeowning!

Well I do some side work transporting vehicles that some people dont have the time to go get themselves.  So when I am slow for the one work I travel.
Keeps the bills paid...  I'd rather have a second job that was local and not as stressful.  Oddly enough, traveling can be hectic.

Grinders thats great, it is nice to own your own place gives you a sense of pride and at least you are paying in towards something and not giving your money to a landlord

GTed I hear you about traveling being stressful, I drive 1 hour each way to work and that is enough to have me all wound up at the end of the day, I coudl not imagine what it must be like driving places you don't know or moving cars and coordinating that stuff.

Lucky for me my job keeps the bills paid and gives me enough energy to work on my stuff at the end of the day.  But lately I'm burned out.  Once I get this parts car stripped I'm done modding for a while I gotta get some rest and vacation in before the winter comes!

I've been internetLESS for close to two weeks now(besides getting on here briefly earlier this week) due a move. Finally got my home phone/DSL hooked up today. :icon_cool: I guess I'll start posting some more off-topic material here since this area has been slowwwwww for a while now. :laugh:
