A DSM tuning legend is moving an hour or so north of here this weekend. Don't forget to keep us updated on new news with you and the car. Good luck with the new job and starting the new car club division up there biggrin.gif You'll be missed (well not in Pekin..lol).

Who moved?

Whoah, what's the word here?

I think we need details! Who's delivering the eulogy to the local DSM scene in light of this?

Fill us in.

I'll fill you in anytime karate-man stud muffin.

I got an offer on Monday to go manage a good-sized store up in Princeton (pop. 7600). It's both a bump in income and opportunity to advance further based upon my performance there. I start there this coming Sunday, so it will be a quick transition.

Since it's only an hour or so away, I'll be down all the time though, especially considering the vacuum of entertainment aspects I witnesses while I visited the town on Tuesday. That will soon change though as I plan to start a Princeton chapter of OI in order to educate the small-town folks of rural-ville IL the vast opportunities that are available through the avenues of rice-hatin, bench-racin, and overly-anal attention to detail.

Congrats on the promo!

First you might have to make them Odorless worthy before you can let them in the chapter though remember.

Don't forget to bring a few Silvia front ends with you too. By virtue of the JDM aerodynamics you can pick up ~15mph on the big end of the 1/4.

Shit, just the Silvia sticker adds 10 hp. Just ask Bernie.

I will miss your beauty

this is way too dramatic. I'll only be like an hour away (15 minutes if I drive analube actually).

The gag was that anyone could join my Princeton OI club, kind of the reverse of their ultra-exclusive invite only circle jerk bloomington band. From the looks of it, I'd have no shortage of 'heartbeat of america' festooned f-bodies and mudder 4x4 trucks sporting highway prohibitive super swamper tires and massive nerf bars.

That's awesome that you're advancing up the ranks. I hope your new job works out great for you. You moving into an apartment up there? Get a hold of me if you need a hand moving.

Congrats on the job move! May I ask what store you work for.

This calls for a CII/DSMCentral/et. al. cruise through town ... biggrin.gif
