I knew you were thinking or I should say planning this change, First off it looks F**king badass and beautiful, I love it brother.

Question 1, the Wing came from Extreme online store Yes? We were discussing it before about Brian's badass wing.

If its EOS, how close to OEM does it look, and the quality, I'll be replacing mine, I hate the side screws showing, I love this, Brian and I have a PM about these also,
HYPERION Uprights GT500 Wing

Please give me your opinion on your new Wing, Brian explained the side pieces on his were already installed, I'll be getting this wing pretty soon, you paid the online price?

All info is welcomed Chris.

I love the CF Trunk piece also, was that though Trufiber?

I’m thoroughly impressed with the wing the quality is amazing! The deck lid is the Ford Performance one from Middleton Ford. Having it next to an OEM wing at the PPF shop the guys said it’s an excellent copy.

I’m not sure how they attach the side piece but it’s a flawless design. I imagine it’s a bonding material of some sort. I’m super happy with it!

When I am living back in the USA, I am thinking seriously of getting a GT350R, Reading on here about then has me wanting one, The 6 speed Manual is a big reason why.

I'll still have a GT500, CFTP TWISTER ORANGE, but a GT350R could very well be in my stable of performance cars 🙏 :unsure::)
I had a CFTP GT500 and it is on a level all by itself. The power and handling are unmatched. The 350R is still an amazing car with the 6spd manual adding a different aspect of fun. That voodoo scream and 8200 redline are insane!

Well, my wife has some friends for California who are on a Vacation and are in town today, after 2 weeks here in the Philippines which the couple are originally from, the Husband grew up in Manila, Yuk:sick:

My wife close friend, Grew up around here, they're are here for a few days, then heading to Japan where neither of them have been. Anyway we are going to the beach again, in a place near a place called A'vea Cove. Remember Near it


A'vea Cove, its a membership resort, I've been there with a friend of ours who bought the membership way back when, you can't stay or go in A'vea cove without being with a member, its beautiful but crazy expensive, the Membership is just 35K usd, but you also have to buy a lot there now, which for say 300sqmeters is 200K, no house on it yet either, Our friends Ron/Joeann are the ones who our members, Ron hasn't even started his house build yet which estimates at 600K.

Anyway my wife friend isn't a member so were not going to A'vea cove, were going near it, not sure ho nice it will be, I'll post pictures later, I can't bring the Mistress as there are 4 of us, I don't like having people in the mistresses back seat, a small person sure, but the 2 others today aren't small.

So I'll be driving the Landcruiser

So that is what I am doing today, here is a picture of what Avea cove looks like, I found these pictures online, I'll take better pictures next time we go there with Ron/Joeann. Again we're not going there today, not sure exactly where were heading, since nobody knows the name of this place, There are resorts all around here, some are beautiful and have great beaches, some are dumps, and are a waste of time and money.

I hope this place is nice, so wish me luck, No matter what it is making my wife happy we are going, she is very close to her friend, so no matter what I'll have fun.

She is so excited and this is the only day the two can spend time together, she hasn't seen her friend for over 5 years since she moved to California, So its the least I can do :)

After driving from NY to Tucson and back, my Tacoma is also due for an oil change. 10th year in a row and it’s still running strong.

That would probably be true, but in NY the cars and trucks usually rust out in 12 to 14 years. Mine will be 10 this April.

You would think I have better things to do, but here I sit, wondering when Tim will reveal the newest addition to his collection. He gave a slight hint to Chris and I when we met for lunch in Tucson but the car I’m thinking of doesn’t seem right. Guess we will all find out sometime….soon?….hopefully? ….I know, I know…too much work, racing, instructing, vacation……..

Calm down, calm down .... it is actually my son's truck that I am allowed to change the oil on ... and sometimes borrow to haul 'messy things'.
