Calipers Painted - 2/2014

I gave the DIY Caliper Paint a try and it turned out pretty well. Had I known the ceramic paint sealed when dry, I wouldn't have put it on so thick (slight run here and there). I'd recommend but I will also probably be getting them powdercoated someday.

Supplies:
  • Duplicor Caliper Paint - $20
  • 4 High Temp Brembo Logos - $10
  • Another Brembo Logo for the One I Messed Up - $5

Custom 45th Style Stripes Installed - 2/2014

After awhile I started to dislike the full body red stripes. It was almost too much red and the effect was lost. Went with red/white imitation 45th style stripes. I like it and it matches the red/white caliper paint.

Supplies:
  • Custom 45th Style Stripes (ProMotorStripes) - $50

Driving in Vermont Blizzard - 12/2013

Random Event:

Quote:
I was up skiing in Killington, VT when a huge blizzard was about to hit 20 inches. I decided to leave the night before schedule as it was best to get off the mountain while I could at about 10 @ night.

Little did i know, I would end up driving through the heart of the blizzard. I'm lucky there were no uphill battles for the 100 miles I drove. I manged to never get stuck cause I had the high way to myself and could slide side-to-side and keep up speed.

My buddys who stayed with there Jeep said all the roads were cleared by next morning.
