Bad News ....

Just got off the phone with my SA... apparently while installing a new front windshield on my car, the new windshield STRESS CRACKS!!!!

This means that 1) I have to wait until Monday to feel the power of the new 80mm TB 2) Going to miss this weekends dyno!!!

My stomach is in knots right now... I feel like a kid that has just been told that Christmas has been postponed a week.

Mannn, sorry Josh. That's cruel and unusual punishment.

and somewhere on BenzTech.com forum, the post suddenly appears, "Got a modded E55 for the weekend baby, YEAH!!"

JUST KIDDING!!!!

A rock the size of a golf ball flew up and hit my windshield on the freeway about 3 weeks ago. I figured I'd get it replaced the same time I did my TB... bad decision LOL.

I guess... but my Carlsson decklid spoiler and new blacked out grill were both attempted to delivered today and will likely be delivered tomorrow. No install this weekend... sucks!

Sorry to hear that Josh, glad you got the carlsson spoiler all I get is compliments on it, Get this I also blacked out my grill but not the emblems, car looks sick and I am sure yours looks sick already. Just hang in there and sleep all weekend if you can, heheheh.

Couldn't you just pick it up for the weekend and take it back on Monday?

Josh, That sucks! I sent you a PM. Looks like no Kleeman vs. RennTech this weekend. I'll try to get it going for next weekend.
