Congrats @suspenceful

Jk, I would be interested to see how fast Spence's 135 is in the 1/4 though. I live in a world where a 15 second car feels fast.

LOL. I consistently trapped 131-132mph last year. I have a few improvements I'm making the car this year to make it more efficient, so I should see my ET drop. Not sure if the MPH will go up or not.

Anyone have a enclosed trailer I could rent/ use this Saturday (Tomorrow)?

[Jdesign]

Never mind guys, I just used A LOT of straps, shrink wrap, and misc road debris as I made my way back home to secure the load. LOL.

It was an adventure to say the least.

NOW, does anyone want/need to put flooring in their shop or garage space? I have a little extra. 17,000 square feet extra to be exact.

Im quite proud of the dually. She didn't skip a beat the entire 6 hour trip, and I got an average of 19 MPG!

what kind of flooring is that?

Possibly! I was thinking about painting my new garage floor but if that stuff is heavy duty shit and wouldn't get all melty from grinding and Welding I might be interested in some.

Wow, that's a load!!! 17,000 extra???

Are the seams tight enough on the smooth to keep fluid spills from getting underneath the tiles?

Did you get a killer wholesale bulk price on these? Common pricing online is around $3/ft2.

IDK about the fluids yet. I have yet to lay them out, but they snap very tightly together. 

I got a deal because the guy didn't want to sell sections, so I had to buy all of it.

Damn, I epoxied my floor last year. Otherwise I would have been interested.

[wasnt m3]

Its technically a gym floor application, but unless you park your steam roller in your garage everynight, it should work perfect for a workbench or a car. I plan on installing most of it this weekend.

I tried to capture the color. Its a very light blue, almost grey. I have a basic harbor freight 5mil glove on, one has my concrete floor behind it, the other my white truck.

How much does a Non-Collision Damage report on

Carfax affect the value of lets say an E36 m3?

[wasnt m3]

What kind of damage are we talking?

[jc43089]

I need an intervention.  I bought another Sienna van which brings the total to 3.  It was my parents van and my mom hit a deer and insurance totaled it.  I bought it back for $2000.  It needs a hood, bumper cover, both headlights, radiator, condenser, fan shroud, grill, and part of the radiator support replaced.  Insurance quote was 6700.  I ordered everything but the core support for less than 1000 shipped from RockAuto.  And I have a core support to pick up at a local salvage yard for 100 tomorrow.  I would have preferred used parts already the right color but I couldn't find any remotely nearby so i will be trying my hand at painting.  It's a facelift 2nd gen which I guess not many are in junkyards yet.  It's an '09 XLE with 120k miles.  I will not be engine swapping this one though.  It should replace the '01 with 210k on it.  Insurance valued it at about 9k.

Anyone need a deluxe green 1st gen Sienna XLE, it even has a VHS player?  It has a little rust but runs good, new genuine VVT solenoids, new A/F sensors, all 4 shocks/struts just replaced.  I'm thinking $2500ish
