You have three doors leading to your garage? Or are some of the doors leading directly into rooms/bathrooms etc.? Interesting. :p

Don't try & case my crib. I have 5 color/nightvision outdoor cameras that record on motion detection.

One is to the house, one is to a closet that is under a flight of stairs, and one goes to the dog room.

HI!

That looks great! What material is it? Did you have to prepare the concrete in any special way? Any info will be appreciated. I have been looking to upgrade my polished concrete driveway and am interested in all options.
Thanks

Looks great, Derek. Is that the Racedeck(Tech?) flooring? How will it hold up against concentrated loads like jacks and jackstands? Was it a DIY job?

From Kleemann, only ECU. Headers and LSD coming soon. Chris and Spencer are doing a LOT of other things for the car though. Have you checked the SLK55 forum yet?

I'm not touching Nitrous. They're working more on cosmetics for me... Besides, at the drags everyone was looking at me....... they couldn't see you considering how fast you blew past everyone!!!
