It's not because I'm afraid, just don't want to be forced to hang with people I may not really like too much.
I kid i kid you're a stand up guy Jeremy, I was already able to tell from my interactions with you online. Then you set up a meet for me, the icing was when you came to your own meet 4 hours late

I hear you though, I'd be hesitant to invite people I've never even seen before to my house too!


Except you suckers.. y'all always welcome. Just bring me food

None of you guys will want to hang out with me..



I'm known for stealing, drinking, and smoking weed.

If you have a garage, we can roll some dice for some money.

I don't know how you do it. How you can work away from home for the week and only be home during the weekends.

I may have to travel down to Los Alamitos (sp) at the end of August and was going to take my wife and kids so we can make it a small vacation.

You're too far away from all the azine members. Plus Boston, pffff, being a Habs fan you ain't getting any love from me.

My kind of party. Minus the stealing, smoking weed and rolling dice.

Yeah those side fans are often problematic with large CPU coolers, good job on the fixing. I would have probable just went without it haha

Thank you!

I got a call this past weekend. The company got the newest 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder

I can't wait! Super Souped over this! I'll give them the TL and make payments on the Gallardo. And.. The wife would be totally cool with that as well, in fact... she would hand them the keys to the TL today and say "where's my lambo!?"

I've met a couple of people from here.

long story short...

One of my good friends I met at a car show....his wife and my wife were best friends before I met him. I met my wife at work, it was a small world when we realized we all knew each other.

It's the 'Consultant lifestyle' . It sounds great and all when you're in college because you get to 'travel' for free and the idea is you're on short term projects and you learn a fuckton. It was ideal when I was living with my parents but now that I've moved out with the gf, compounded with the fact that this project is going down the shitter, it's getting old, fast. Plus my parents are knee-deep in their home renovation too and I'm the liaison between them and the contractor so I'm pretty stressed the fuck out.. Hence why I'm looking to find a local job in the near future...


Wtf you doing out in Los Alamitos??

I don't think the Gallardo is getting returned..

It's going to be a very sad day returning this



EDIT:

This is the one we will get for the Wedding/Weekend.

I have no interest in driving something I can't afford. I keep my reality really limited. The TL is the fastest car ever made in my little world.

Always hard going from borrowing the S5 and the 911 this last time...
butt fk it...no payments.

Honestly.. when I was shopping for the TL-S I contemplated a used S4... but then some of my friends slapped some sense into me ("you're seriously looking into a USED GERMAN car?! Are you out of your fucking mind.. are you made of money?! ")

They did have a point though.. Also I would have become an Audizine asshat..

Makes me think, saw two guys that looked TOTALLY LEGIT driving a lambo convertible and the other one an Audi R8 convertible in the port of Montreal.

Both in their 20ies too.

I thought about an S5 or 3 series as my next car. Then I looked in the mirror and said.

"Kevin, do you want to be pulled over everytime you drive it? Do you really want to pay the repair bills on them?"

Let's just say I decided against them.

Yeah.. I think it wouldn't be as bad if 1. the project was a little more fun..(unemployment benefits ) 2. better co-workers (read: younger... my lead is 50..) 3. the venue was a little more fun.. (i miss being in Florida after coming to North Carolina..) 4. i didn't have so much on my plate at home taking care of my family.

but hey life gives you lemons, you just gotta make the best of it.. It builds character..


YUP.. Grew up in LA, moved down to Orange County for school and then just recently moved down there with the gf. My 'local office' is in Burbank though but I rarely go there.


I'm down to meet up with you Kev

Driving while black?
I never have had to think about that...crazy. I remember this one Fresh Prince PSA episode where he drove to Palm Springs and dealt with this...I was like...

I didn't even know there was difference between white and black people until I was like 10...I would ask my Mother what they meant on TV when they said black people. My parents were very strict about no racism/sexism/bigotry...

Hippie

I have a very legit friend (no seriously though, he is for once) who has a green Murcielago (I think) and we drove (meaning he drove me ) around town on a sunny day last year. I had a stupid grin the whole time. One day maybe he'll let me drive.

but hey life gives you lemons, you just gotta make the best of it.. It builds character..


YUP.. Grew up in LA, moved down to Orange County for school and then just recently moved down there with the gf. My 'local office' is in Burbank though but I rarely go there.


I'm down to meet up with you Kev
So your in NC. There is a penguin man that just bought an S2k, I think you should go pay him a visit. If the S2k is parked outside.

I'll let you know if I end up going down. I should know by the end of the week. It's only an hour flight.
