I dont know if anyone has noticed my absence from the board but last year I tried to work at carlysle & the owners convention & friggin hated both ....
between the problems with my car at the NY SOC & the A hole kids trying to put me out of business, I really was starting to feel I had made a mistake dedicating so much of my effort to tuning saabs (its been a dark year SOC-SOC)
Im bareley keeping my head above watter as one of the best in this scene & that had me pissed in a verry real way
IM forming really strong friendship with the owner of the dyno shop in town here (the only AWD dyno in western NC) & Ill be tuning all kinds of cars as their lead programmer this guy is at least as insane as I am & probably more determined
I think this will bring the new challenges that I need to keep sane as well as better income.....
my wife is also going back to work after 3 years off sinse our son was born
this allows me to take my car as more of a hobby being the weardo I am, definatly not mainstream I can kick ass with my bizarre car

Ive seen insane mustangs on the dyno here with 13:1 compression sounding pissed as can be make 350WHP while my lil 2.0 made 425.... I have gained the respect of a pretty strong performance comunity here in WNC this has sorta rekindled the flame to push the boundarys with saabs & IM feeling much more secure & happy in general (thus the I dont care what people think additude)
Id like to be to saab like whoever the hell made the cobalt & neon so popular
Id like saab to be a known name in performance in the USA!

I still & allways want you guys to know that TSN is my home no matter what & that you folks (the saab comunity) are directly responsible for bettering my liveleyhood & life
so there it is sorta.... pouring my guts out on a saab perf board :-)
thanks & take care
