Going to check out Evan, hang with Levi and Phen.........install CBE...cars and coffee.....slight chance that I may go check out friends racing @ Mid-Ohio and drop off wheels for Powdercoating.......then get my ass ready for work on Monday!
Going to get the Silver MSP running by the end of the weekend. Motor is in. I just need to wire it up and flush the fluids. Going to put the 626 intake on it as well and swap it out with Nate #2's later.
HPI Racing chassis, has a mustang body, server & remote (missing batteries cover). It's sat for a while. I can send you more info/pics tonight. 99% sure it's AWD

Topic question for Ohioans,
If you could talk with a CEO or other executive of any car maker, what would you say/ ask/ request?
If you could talk with a CEO or other executive of any car maker, what would you say/ ask/ request?
That's hard because I already know the answer. My question is: Why can't we go back to 4 wheels, 3 pedals and manual everything? I know, but it pisses me off all the ******* things the NHSA just passed. Self braking, cars that talk to each other, mandatory back up camera. It does nothing but drive up the cost of the cars, as well as add things that will fail eventually.
First question to any of them: Give me a product advisory role in the company and access to company cars.
other questions:
Mazda - bring the 6 Wagon to North America. After only having a wagon for a couple weeks; I only want to have a wagon as a daily for the rest of my life. No CUV crap.
GM - Can you just kill GMC already? seriously, there's not point for the extra cost to produce different badges.
Ford - I'd ask Alan Mullaly to be my mentor. And bring the Focus ST wagon to North America. Make a Retro '50 Merc lead sled sedan.
Dodge - Simply ask them to make better cars.
Subaru - ask them to hire a new design team
Toyota - Make variations of models sporty, actually sporty not the same appliance w/ a lip kit
Nissan - ? don't even pay attention to them, Maybe some sort of new 240 for drifters? The 510 Datsun concept is pretty cool so maybe make that?
BMW - Keep on keepin on, maybe a small # run new model of alpines?
Ferrari - Can I tour the facility and drive one on the test track?
Audi - A3 should only be a wagon, make an S3.
VW - Make a Jetta R - think Golf R mechanically w/ a Jetta body
Porsche - No complaints, maybe bring back the purple, teal and other fun limited addition colors for another run. New model 914?
That's what I can think of off the top of my head

http://youtu.be/ChEYYS_DPac Yes Alpina, not alpine
about 2:20 in, the whole video is about them. Didn't know they still have a version. I'm talking graphics and all.
I don't know that much about BMW's

I've parked an Alpina Z8, and there's a couple of B7s that come downtown. White and black
Not trying to start s*** but who are we to say how much someone should make? Most CEO's have multiple degrees and decades of business experience. They're personally responsible for companies worth millions of dollars and employ thousands of people. One big screw up by one employee and it's the CEO who's on national television or testifying before congress. Not saying no CEO has ever done a bad thing but risky jobs bring big money.
It's been a rough week. . .
