Sounds like a plan to me. Ain't it fun?

79BIG10 · 04-07-2003, 12:29 AM

Wanna share some of the wealth

I got tons of plans but no $$$ for them all.

Ric83 · 04-07-2003, 12:36 AM

I finally got a job again too. Unfortunatly, I am making enough to just pay me bills (BARELY!) I want to get mine at least going.

bill_ont_canada · 04-07-2003, 01:41 AM

I don't know about where you live but... you might check out the
laws for the tint on side windows.

Here in Ontario 5% is ok for back window but... side windows must be lighter, I believe it's 35%.

It would be a shame to get it all done and have to scrape it off again. that sucks.

just my .02 cents worth

The rest of the plan sounds GREAT.

Eric, you forgot the part about winning the lottery. (you can buy tickets now that you're 18.)

Low87 · 04-07-2003, 09:37 AM

Bill, the tint laws here in Okla are the same as yours, but they rarely check or say anything. Just one of those things they can hold against you if you're being a smartass to them.

Blue Beard · 04-07-2003, 01:21 PM

That sounds like alot of work for the summer months, unless you live in Alaska.

Keep us posted on the progress.........

TIMSPEED · 04-07-2003, 01:24 PM

Sounds good Eric. I guess both mine and your trucks will be recieving a lot of work this summer

Cole's 87 · 04-07-2003, 07:36 PM

Good list, hope you can get it all done before the end of summer. After being trapped in the house cus of the long crappy winter. I've already got the ball rolling just waiting on the Big Brown Truck

Except he would have to drive to Texas (I think they have one) or Kansas to get tickets because Oklahoma has retarded laws and we don't have one.

84Stepper · 04-07-2003, 10:06 PM

What a blast Eric! I'm doin have of that right now to mine. You should see the kitchen sink every night after I clean up! Have fun with your projects.

On the lottery, in Louisiana you have to be 21 to play. What is the age in other states?

He should be ok unless he tells them his usual response..
Officer" Do you know how fast you were going"
Eric "no...was I going Warp Gerardo?"
Officer "No son..you were going so slow you were impeding traffic"
Eric " STFU!!"
Officer..."Son...step out of the truck"
