Happy Holidays from the (MIA) Geek

[VTeCno Geek]

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holidays. I haven't been around much, I have been working liek a dog. Ever since I moved to my new office, the firewall keeps me from hitting this site. Since I am usually at work for 60-80hours a week, I get very little surf time at home (wife demands some attentino in the little spare time I have). I still check in on a regular basis, but haven't hasd the time to get into any serious debates. The car is running okay, it needs a little TLC (The TPS wires have a short somewhere and it is just to damn cold to get out there and find it). In the meantime I am driving my new baby, a 1997 3000GT VR-4. I know many people prefer the Supra, and if I could have found one for a good price I would have snapped at it. But the Mits only has 30k miles on it, and was in pristine shape. It is definately a different ride from the Teg. Oh well, hope everyone is doing fine, and I will be posting here and there over the next week while I am on vacation. If anyone needs to reach me they can still email me. I also try to keep an eye on things, but they sometimes get away. If you notice posts that are inappropriate, please drop me a line.

Glad to see you are doing good GEEK, but the real question is......... How does the VR-4 do against the Teg? Have you raced Lund yet? Well take care and the one good thing is that we around this fine establishment don't put up with inappropriate posts. We got choe back! Happy Holidays Geek

Glad to hear that you are still alive Geek... we miss you.
Don't be a stranger... sit down and surf WITH the wife. LOL.

Congrats on the VR-4. That is a really nice car.

Yeah, a Mitsu. Hey, if Honda made a twin-turbo, AWD, 6-speed car I would have bought it instead. Or, if I would have had a tad bit more money (like $60-80k more) I would have bought a Porsche 911 Turbo. But instead, I am resolved to the VR-4. It is a great car so far, but only time will tell how reliable it will be. I still have the Teg, and I never plan on getting rid of it. The plans for it will still be going strong, since I don't want to do anything radical to the VR-4 until I know how it acts normally.

Well... It looks like we are having a little reunion in here.

Hey MTRS, if everything goes right, Art will be coming down this weekend for the turbo install.. maybe next weekend. Get a hold of him so you can come help too!

[MTRS the 1st]

If he can make it, I'll try my best to make it there. Parts runs, late night beer and pizza pit stops. I can't wait.
