Most Jordans are too busy for me, though there are some clean ones.

You'll definitely have to take me shoe shopping next time I'm down there.

I do remember those, but would never consider wearing them now.

Don't forget about shelltoes (adidas superstar). I got the Adicolor ones today which are the ones that you can change the colors of the stripes to match whatever you're wearing. Yes, these shoes have been around longer than i've been alive.

Hahaha...I remember when my older cousin got me the tape "Raisin' Hell" for Christmas and my Mom took it away because she thought it was some sort of devil worship album.

Of course I got them... you thought I was the type of dude to just talk about getting things?

I'm thinking DIY with some help from one of my buddies from work who has more experience with stuff like this. He remodeled his whole kitchen, including cabinets, so this should be a piece of cake. The hardest part will be putting it all together, since it's mostly all modular except for the two hanging cabinets. I'm thinking October when my busy season is over and the weather is nice and cool.

Some chick fell asleep on the highway and drifted off the road. When she woke up, she was on the lefthand shoulder and overcorrected, sending her car spinning toward me in the right lane. I happened to be in the right place at the right time to keep her from dying. Here's how my sedan looked the day before the accident...

To be honest, it was the best thing (financially) that has ever happened to me. I was able to take the money I got and pay off what I had left on the sedan, pay off my wife's Jeep, buy the coupe, and still have enough left over for a new Rolex. I got the coupe for a few reasons... 1) I didn't want to start from scratch and feel like I had to re-do/outdo my first one, 2) I wasn't ready to leave the MB/203 family yet and I already knew what mods were available for the coupe because of what I had seen on the forums, 3) I happened to find a great deal on a low mileage, CPO'd coupe in the same color scheme (pewter/charcoal) as my sedan so nostalgia got in the way. If I was thinking straight, I would have just gotten an A3 and started fresh.

I hate a tease! Love those chamfered holes, though. StopTech perhaps?

Regardless, those are some cool rotors.
