Filing an extension gives you until September 15(for Partnerships, Corporations, and S-Corporations) and October 15 for individual returns.

About half or more of our clients extend in April. So August-October is pretty busy for us.

There's not many states I can think of that don't follow the Federal deadline. I know the Franchise Tax return for Texas is due in May, but I think all the other states comply.

Got the muffler welded on today.

Sounds amazing.

My fuel economy is going to be in the gutter for the next month.

Virginia's is May 1 without an extension. I wasn't sure about other states.

How's that going to affect your fuel mileage? Back-pressure on the engine forcing it to work harder?

I think he meant he'd be on the gas a lot listening to the sound.

So I installed the shocks last weekend and it rides fantastic. Also did the first oil change since picking it up. Used Mobil 1 synthetic. Was kind of funny seeing a Mopar filter on there.

Hahaha, I love a good healthy V8 sound. My old 1999 Z28 Camaro, one of the first mods was to cut the muffler off, weld in a straight pipe and put some cool dual chrome pipes poking out the rear bumper. It was loud when you stepped on it, but pretty quiet at cruise. All my buddies said it sounded like a beat up redneck truck.

Still I remember pissing off a neighbor at the apartment complex I lived at. They had basement grade apartments with the bedroom window level with the sidewalk. The spot I parked in, far away from other people, that I backed in was like 3-4 feet from his window. Fired that SOB up at 6:00am to get to work, needless to say after about a week of living there he left a rather politely worded note on my car. "Some of us work 2nd shift and try to sleep at 6:00am. Please park your loud car somewhere else or go jump off a bridge. Thank you"

Nice.

My buddy has a 1995 Firebird Formula with the old LT1. He punched out the catalytic converter and put a flowmaster muffler on it and it has a nice loud bellow to it.

Decided the exhaust still wasn't loud enough. Went back to the muffler shop and had them chop off my resonator.

It's MUCH deeper and louder now.


I apologize in advance to my neighbors.

Bought a tri-fold tonneau cover monday, and it arrived yesterday. Went home and installed it at 9:30 pm after work last night. Now I can keep things relatively secure from prying eyes and hands in the bed. It was annoying traveling because I had to keep all my stuff in the back seat so it wouldn't get stolen during pit stops. Especially some of my expensive long sticks.

Dude your truck is the modern equivalent of a Lincoln Town Car. Or in the case of me, its the modern equivalent of my old *** 1991 Cadillac Brougham and 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood. Both of those are huge *** sedans, the 1991 has a 5000lb tow capacity, the 1995 has a 7000lb tow capacity. Both have as much room in in the interior as those crew cab pickups, the trunk room is 19.5 cubic feet in the 1991 Brougham, 21.1 cu ft in the 1995 Fleetwood. Honestly that 1995 Cadillac had the biggest trunk I've ever seen, in any full size car. It fit a whole set of 4 17" Impala SS wheels, with mounted tires on them, in the trunk.

true, although I remember my uncle's 86 Town Car riding much smoother lol.

I like that this cover can fold up easily out of the way so I can still haul big things.

It was also handy last night, I went camping with some friends. Folded the cover back, pumped up a big air mattress, and had a comfortable night's sleep with a great view of the stars.
