Yeah I don't exactly know where we went. It's been a few years now. I remember shooting a few hogs. We mostly went goose hunting night and day. And made a trip down to the coast to duck hunt, which was amazing.

Real good story, I think you made your parents really happy with your reaction, that is a good gift for them.

Regarding mods.
Window tint otherwise your car does not look the same as mine...

Thanks!

And I've been considering tint. What percentage tint did you go with? I like yours because it blends in with the Carbon Flash paint. I feel like too dark of tint will overwhelm the paint.

Did a little shoot at home yesterday. Unfortunately the sun messed with a bunch of my pictures that I had to delete. Here's a few I kept. Click the bar at the top of each picture to view the full size high resolution copy. It's MUCH better!:




































I LOVE this pic:






Flash kinda ruined these two cause it lit up the tail lights a little :(

Very nice, hightower. Congrats, and nice read. Looking forward to meeting you.

Window tint is a good first mod. Being so young, I might be inclined to get legal tint. If you get caught with darker, you'll have to redo it with lighter.

This was a good read Chip.

Awesome story.

I'm glad you got the LS3...isn't rowing gears fun? I took my Dad's mustang to get lunch today since they were out of town...love shifting gears.

Thanks! Same here, I look forward to meeting you as well!
And I think that's very sound advice. I'd hate to drop money into it just to have it reversed and cost me more. I'll probably just go with the limit.

Thanks JT! I love the LS3 and hurst short throw! There's nothing like shifting, I wouldn't take an automatic over a manual any day, not in a camaro!
And I bet that was a fun ride!

Thanks, and I appreciate you reading it. Whenever someone says it affected them somehow I know it hit home.

If you think you have anything fun to do during this Thanksgiving break let me know.

I wouldn't mind meeting somewhere and checking out your ride...and going for a ride!

Yeah man I'll let you know. We've gotta cruise sometime! I know I'll be busy 'till either friday or saturday, all depends on if I hunt. I leave sunday morning. If I'm not busy we should meet in conyers or somewhere. I'm in Madison. And if that doesn't work we'll have to meet up over the christmas break for sure. I've got a month off from GSU. There should definitely be a meet around then too.
