    With all the recent events I'm feeling very solemn, somber, and spiritual. May God bless all my friends and may those little angels be hard at play giggling, laughing, smiling in the best playground ever. Saying goodbye to Baker Quality Services seems pretty small by comparison. Merry Christmas to you all.

    Hey guys, what's the best option for a garage heater? Getting cold in there!

    I recommend the Hot Dawg Heater (45,000 BTU). I have that in my 3 car garage and it keeps it at a constant 60 degrees and pulls the temp up to 70 degrees in 10 minutes when I want to work on the cars. It can run on propane or natural gas.

    Here is the link to the Modine Hot Dawg website.

    Here's Charles installing the new hard compound independent suspension bushes he got for Christmas. Should tighten up the cornering pretty nicely. This space tube chassis is ripe for upgrades and he's salivating at the opportunity. Next is the lip spoiler and lowering kit.

    Looks very nice but it looks as though Charles also should be thinking about adding new, stickier and wider rubber to go with those new suspension components! :)

    Clearly, that vehicle is being prepared for rallying... just look at the ride height. You might want to get him some safety wire pliers, those tin snips are no good!

    Wishing all Happy Holidays.

    I like the custom shop floor, two thumbs up.

    This lil' knee dragger is definitely in need of lift in his shop.

    With all those modifications that thing is going to scare the sh-t out of him. Fortunately he's dressed for the occasion.

    Well done! We have a winner.

    A foot of snow on the ground here, about to fire up one of the tractors and spread it around. Yay, snow!

    p.s. Yes, the snow in the image is real.

    Frank: About 6 inches in Avon. The Southeastern part of the state got clobbered.

    Too cold for me to come out and play. I just finished snow blowing the driveway and now trying to warm back up. I guess it is officially time to put the snow tires on the Audi.

    I reluctantly put mine back on Christmas morning. And took the lotus off insurance for the winter. At least we got some snow and my tires will serve there purpose this season.

    I really like the Playboy Bunnie custom paint scheme. He should pick up a lot of "babes" with that ride.

    Goodbye 2012. For some it was a good year, for some it sucked, for others it was just weird.

    Babies, boats and babes kept some of my friends occupied this year.

    Hoping everyone has a happier, healthier and better 2013.
