    I was in IL yesterday. Just got into Pittsburgh. I am a little loony right now. 2 900 mile days, and the last day I had to push it. Only one Red Bull consumed. But I've got tunnel vision right now. Some photos coming soon.
    fucking kick ass dude! i knew it would make it!

            Cool, the IL to PA trip isn't so bad, it's when you go through Ohio it seems to take forever.

                Also, had time to look over the records. Major things that are new:

                radiator
                power steering pump
                M3 front control arms/bushings
                water pump

                I've got to check out if there's anything else performance in there b/c it sure performs better than what how I imagine an eta to perform.

                    Ohio, a little state that does seem to go forever but not near as big as Texas.

                        Oklahoma sucked w/ their toll road system. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio all seemed to take fooorrreeeeevveeer.

                            Ok. So looking into the records more. Found that they sent the head out to be resurfaced and ground the valves. I wish I had more details. (Person I bought the car from only had it for a few months. Previous owner did all the work.)

                                Its going to be 51 and sunny tomorrow! I have off too, so If you want you can come down to my place and we can buff the shit out of your car to see if that'll fix the paint. Let me know so I can wash all my microfiber towels.

                                    Damn. The weather will probably only hold out like that for a day or two. Thanks for the offer but I'm probably not going to touch it much tomorrow. Probably going to park it in the garage and work on some other things that I neglected this week, as I'm heading out of town next week.

                                    We should get together a weekend later in March... Now that I have this Cali eta.
