I was in Sand Diego week before last for a bachelor party(a buddy of mine is stationed there for the Navy as well). Your going to love it there! 70* high during the day with no humidity and 55-60* at night. Way different from Louisiana's weather lol. Oh.... and women everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fell in love at least 100 times while i was there lol
I hope your car isnt lowered alot...... the roads/driveways suck *** over there.

I just havnt had time here lately with work and the divorce. Cant seem to keep money in the damn bank lol
I did go work on the motor yesterday. Havnt posted the pics yet as im at work but i will when i get home. We got the bottom end all buttoned up. Heads are going to the shop Wed to have the springs/cams installed. Then this weekend we should be bolting on the heads and timing gear so we can bring the motor to the shop to have it timed. After thats done, into the car she goes and on with the blower install.

Went out there for military training , loved it and about cried when I had to return. As far as Mustang / car performance shops I say F**** it and take a nice trip to GAS.

^^ Don't go to GAS. I've been there, nice shop and nice work, but you're gonna pay even worse than out the *** there (they're located in San Fernando Valley and are used to getting clients with more money than sense, and are priced accordingly). Besides, I'm not letting kooks who install fish tanks in the backseats of cars and all the other goofy **** they do on that show touch my car. I'm really not sure of any Mustang specific shops in San Diego area, but about an hour and a half drive north of there in Rancho Cucamonga is GTR High Performance, they do really good work. There's also supposed to be a few good shops in the Orange County area.

I heard nothing but good stuff about GAS but every place has its up's and downs. Also I agree they seem over priced but Auto performance is not a cheap hobby by any means. But Hell if you pay me that much I would attempt to install bidet's into cars all day.
