    Thanks Matt B.,

    I had a rear seat passenger to a show tonight, I took my 3 YO with me and he loved it!  That is what it's all about!  I'm going to take my 5yo tomorrow night.

    Tom

    I got the Shroud in and it seems like it pulls more air at idle now.  All I got is to fab up a couple of small pieces to seal it completely at the top and bottom.  The hoop sits a bit above and below the radiator.  Not much but about 1/2" top and 5/8" bottom.  The fan is about 1/2" out of the shroud. :2thumbs:

    I had the samething happen to my laptop and had to reload windows.

    What I did was take out my hard drive first and hook up a usb adapter recoverd all my files then reloaded windows.

    Let me know if you need help its pretty easy.

    Enjoy the cruze with the 5yo.

    Yeah I got the HD backed up but... I never made the recovery CD's. :misbehaving:  I think I have to order them from Sony.

    The picture software is terrible on this Desktop, it's like 5 years old.  But functional.

    The cruise was great, it turned out to be a nice night(70 degrees) and We stayed for a few hours had some burgers and shot the stuff with the boys.  Great times, many more to come with the little ones. 

    I tried to buy new belts for the rear for the boys seats and they only had 1 in stock that's why I can only take one of my little guys.  I got taking the rear seat out down pretty good now.LOL

    Tom,

    Any windows cd will reload windows just use the numbers off your windows sticker on the bottom of your laptop to register it. Then if windows cannot find all your drivers, you can download them from sony and burn them to a cd to install them on your laptop. Are you running xp or vista?

    I have XP, I do have some Recovery disks from a nother computer.  But don't know if they will work.  They aren't just Windows disks they are "HP Recovery Disk 1-6">  IDK what happened, all I know is there was some Karate looking girl in my administrator logon and then POOF! :dupe:  Good thing I got an Antivirus running Huh?LOL

    Yes Ken, I have pics of the kid seat, Shroud, and some from the local shows too. :stomp:

    Tom :drama:

    Anyways, I really need to address the pinion angle in the rear as the 45-55MPH range is brutal with a rolling vibration.  I picked up the protractor but have to get the car up on stands to do it.  Right now i just go past 55 anyways.LOL 

    On a side note, everyone needs to check their registration, because mine expired in February and I  didn't find out until I did a bit of cleaning in the glove box on Wed night(2 days ago)......  Luckily for me I didn't get pulled over or get in an accident, all set now though.LOL

     :walkaway:   My car isn't registered....

    Glad the cruise went well!  Some of the best times you'll have with your car is with the family!  When you can share your fun with the ones you love it makes it all worth while IMO!  :grinyes:

    Hope you computer probs get worked out!  :thumbsup:

    On the way home trying to beat a thunder shower, I made the mistake of running out of gas on a semi-busy road....   I had a buddy that was driving ahead of me grab % gals and I was on my way 20 mins later. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    Good things-- Windshield wipers work, Hazards work, and I have a good buddy!  Well, he does drive a Olds 442 Vert.  But I can't hold it against him now.
