That's a seriously intense story Jim. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you made it through, and I hope that some of the treatment you get will yield some improvements.

BTW, I still haven't pulled the engine on your car, as I haven't been feeling so hot. But it is now ready to pull. If you feel like coming by let me know. If not, no worries at all.

Hi - Are you sure it wasn't " TNT" they were playing? :D

I had a girlfriend who had chronic fatigue, and she got over it through a very strict diet. Or maybe it was just time, but she got over it, and says she wouldn't have it any other way - she learned a lot.

Keep yer stick on the ice.

Hope you get better - in the mean time, it's good to see that the doc's still have a sense of humour!

Thanks Greg, here's hoping [-o< . I returned your PM and just realized that "tomorrow" is today so I'll swing by after the big game 7.

Could have been with all the nitro they were pumping. :lol: Thanks for the tip on diet, I tried the Caveman Diet a couple of years ago and thought I felt a bit better. I should really go back as all of this is related to inflammation and a lot of what we eat today is not what we were designed to. I should stock up on duct tape too, it fixes everything right?? :wink:

I really hope they weren't cueing specific music for my benefit, at least they appeared awfully busy while I was croaking. Not sure about their sense of humour but the playlist was pretty decent. :mrgreen:

Ok, so the green wheels are to complement the trim or something? I'm missing this entirely - not that I don't like it (wouldn't do it, but I'm old and not that hip). Is there green stuff in the engine bay? I'm not familiar with the Subby world, so fill us in Andy.

Mighty fine choice in color sir!

And I was told painting GT's this color was sacrilege.

Its not sacrilege, its awesome! Two thumbs up bud 8)

Well the STi colour for subi is pink, looks great don't get me wrong but I like to be different. I debadged the car, picked up a new rear sti one and painted it green. The WSC sticker is green and I was thinking of getting the front and side vinyl decals redone in green instead of pink. I have some wierd thing with green and I wanted to stand out so I picked up another set of stock rims and got them blasted and powder coated the green. I love how it turned out and you really need to see it in person to see how it stands out. I notice in the pictures you can't really see the sti badge on the rear, i'll look through my pictures and find some.

You could call it the Kermit Kruiser. :mrgreen:

Every choice eliminates others, and has its good and bad aspects. Chosing a colour for my car(s) made that painfully obvious (to say nothing of picking the car - I was also partial to an old GMC pick-up) I think it looks pretty cool in that last shot, but pulling-up in front of your grandma's you might not want to show it off. :lol: :lol:
