I'm heading down to Lake Charles, La. at the end of this week to start a job on Monday... The job is going to last about 2 1/2 months. Will be working 6-10's for the most part and some 70 hour weeks.

In any case are there any members out that way? If so hit me up and show me some love...

I'll be taking my truck instead of my car:banghead: because of my tools and luggage...

Once this job expires and my bankroll is really phat I will be saying hello to a full size intercooler, headers, rockers, 3.2 pulley and a tune... 12's for sure this summer. I might need to add a helmet to that list since I will for sure be needing it...

Wish me luck. Its a 1200 mile drive to the job...:crying:

For those of you following my epic adventure...


Ok, I made it down here in one piece. I stopped by and saw a friend thats on a job in Venice,La. I stayed the night with him and left out early this morning for the last five hours of this journey. He took me to one of the only fish restraunts and I had some real good shrimp and fried fish....yummy...

Anyways I took my truck and after filling the truck up a total of 4 times which has me sitting on a full tank because I filled up once I got here.

After 1348.5 miles using 68.454 gallons of fuel I averaged 19.69 mpg...With a grand total of $280.20 in fuel cost...

I know its useless information but I like to keep track...I am pretty happy with the results...
