i am very excited and dumbfounded. my fiance actually asked if she could have an empeg for her pt cruiser. she is not impressed by anything, and especially not stuff like the empeg. you guys make a fine product if you can impress amanda.

thus i am happy to report that the empeg will accompanying us on the honeymoon. what else is there to do on your honeymoon? anyone up for some pictures of the empeg in beautiful exotic bora bora?

Hey! Congrats man! And I hope you have a few more things to do on your honeymoon than mess around with your empeg!

But hey, you can put all the Barry White you want on it

that the empeg impressed her was a huge surprise, but she would probably get along with you laura. while she hates computers and the like, she loves muscle cars. she owns an 86 trans am, and i own a '67 camaro with a 468 cid big block. whenever she pulls into a gas station in the camaro (which is very frequently in this car), all the men expect to see a guy get out of the car. they are even more surprised when she can talk competently about whats under the hood.

ps. whatcha got under the nova's hood?

In reply to:

I have a 350 CID small block dynoed at 350 HP, camel hump heads, GM L79 Cam, Edlebrock Hi-rise Performer RPM manifold, Holley 650 CFM carb, Dynomax jet coated headers, TH350 tranny with a 1400 RPM stall convertor (which I plan to replace with a 2400) and Flowmaster exhaust for that great sound.

But the BBS doesn't know what women are - Laura-you are now in the status "Journeyman"

Actually, it's a very fair term to use... you take 'Journey' from Journeyman and 'man' from woman, put them together to get 'Journeyman'

What could be fairer?? (apart from doing it the other way round!)

Hmm...good solution. But I don't know if Laura is glad with it.

I am fine with it. I never thought it was a sexist term anyway. Feels kind of strange to be a "journeyman" when I don't even have an empeg yet, hopefully that will change someday.

The other day the same thing happened to me. My wife and I were headed to the bookstore (in my truck of course) and she asked "can I put one of these in my truck too?"

I almost passed out. She HATES computers. I think she sees them as the "other woman."

I thought it was hard enough saving for one, now I have to start saving for another one...

Great work guys@empeg. I never thought she'd find anything computer related to be interesting.

Are you already registered? The guys@empeg have already invited clients up to 14000 so they're going to run into delivery from stack quite soon as it seems.
You just need enough money...
