I've been traveling for 3 weeks across country now. I started in texas, went to ABQ NM, then Flagstaff AZ, Las Vegas NV, Long Beach CA, back to Las Vegas NV, up to Missoula MT. I'm about to depart Montana for a long drive to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. I decided while i have some free time on my hands, i'll post up some pix.

I wanted to meet some people from the site and see what they've been up to, how they have worked their tibs and what they've done along the way to my destinations.

I started in Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas with a Shark Racing high mount spoiler.

aerodynamics rocked. it gives the car a heavier feel.

When i got to AZ, i stopped at REDZMAN's house and he took me out for some authentic NewMexican cuisine, we had a few beers, talked cars, he even gave me a place to stay overnight.

the sceenery in New Mexico r0XoRZ!!!!!



I met up with patreezy in Flagstaff AZ. We had dinner and he showed me a ice cream place where they have to dance when you give them a tip. I blew like $6 on tips watching them dance. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pix.


I went to Vegas and then california. When i was in Lakewood, CA, the bastards at the car wash destroyed my high mount spoiler.


At this point, i ordered a ATH RoofSpoiler to replace my SR High mount. It was sent to Montana to meet me there.

I met up with TiburonMoo in Vegas after that. We had dinner. His car was down, I'd have liked to see it.

Here's a few glamor shots taken in montana of my car without the spoiler.



I received my spoiler,had it painted and installed within 24Hours I have pix for a DIY later.... Which looks better? A, or B?

B:

Actually I like the ATH mang.

Did you stick or bolt it on? Sorry if I missed when you already talked about this..


and Spart, you should go to the ColdStone. GREAT IceCream, they put almost anything in it you want. And when you tip em they have to sing some corny song and dance around. They have like 10-20 songs so DTN went crazy with the tips and we just sorta sat their laughing at them along with all the customers in the store. It's humiliating but it gets the bills paid. LOL

Oh yea, DTN. Not sure what route your traveling but I'd try and get a shot of the tib with the St. Louis Arch ("The Gateway To The West"). Ya know that was a rollercoaster once? LOL. Check out the windows at the top, a cart used to take you all the way to the top. Not anymore though. =(
