Default Spring break plans (you or your car)

Anyone who is still able to enjoy spring break... sorry guys with jobs (where I actually wish I was).
First thing: playoff hockey first round!
I am going home to repair/upgrade my car a bit. My rims and tires have been delivered, I bought a rear blackout vinyl, have an axle, and am taking it in to a shop (of a guy I know) to find out what I need to replace in my suspension. Almost 170k so i am guessing it will be quite a lot.
No it will not be lowered... one day I will take some pictures and videos of our roads in duluth to show you guys why
If I have time I may go on a short road trip somewhere.

Well my lowering springs have desrtoyed my stock shocks and struts so I think a set of Tokico D-spec may be in order. Also a brake job, I will probably reuse stock rotors (after being machined) and Hawk ceramic pads.

For the car:
-Mac catback with H pipe.
-GT rear bumper.
-Possibly smoked taillights?

For me:
-Start lifting again.
-Eventually buy killzone 3. (I'm a ps3 guy)

Nah, I just reserved one at a nearby GSSF dealer, they said they're on order and they just got some G23s and G26s delivered so hopefully the G19s will come soon... sigh.

I've got 19 paid vacation days left for this year. But now I've got every weekend off. So I'll take 5 days maybe next month. Just to do nothing, or fiddle around the house. I should detail my stang and she'll get a good bath and vacuum. But the pollen will be crazy by then.. So I might just wait till late May to wax her up.

I'd love to just take off and go fishing though. I used to be a notorious bass angler. But I sold my boat, so did my brother in law. My biggest Bass to date is only 8.5 lbs.. dammit i need a 10 pounder....

We have a way to go until opener but my brother and I brought all of our fishing stuff back to school, not as many spots to fish up here as back home but I know of a few good walleye spots.
8.5 is huge up here haha, you have to go for the 50" musky

Go to the san antonio zoo with the gf tommorow morning. After that im taking the class to earn your motorcycle liscense monday tuesday and wednesday. Hopefully will have the liscence in hand by the end of the month. Other than that, possibly party once or twice with a few friends, max of 6 total people including me.

The party part sounds like win to me.. That's right up my alley.. I got one of those hand held mixers for x-mas for making sauces. I found out they perfect for daqueries and pina coladas. No more bulky blender and easy clean up.. Weeeee

You should try this then. Throw 1/2 banana in with the mix.. OMG. Of course you will need to throw another jigger of rum. Just don't get to hooked on the banana part. They are very, very tasty in the drink, But remember what bananas can do to your digestive tract. + =

I'll be riding in House of Boost's Vette for part of the action. So we'll see how many pairs of pants I go through riding in a 1200rwhp C6. My car is wayyyy too slow to handle 95% of the cars down there, so it'll be staying home this year.

I am pretty sure you have to be smart enough to spell LICENSE correctly to earn your motorcycle LICENSE.

Girlfriend is filming another music video, so I've been doing that for a few days. Plus there's been a lot beach time. That's really it.

If Badfish spelled it wrong in his thread, I would be worried.
