Will do! Hoping to see as may of my friends up here as I can. I lived up here from 2003 to 2007. The bugs on the front of the S from the drive is killing me.
Awesome. I'll PM you my number, text me if you have time. I won't be around Saturday but will be tomorrow night and Sunday.

Not any faster than Jeremy. The first time we met was in a Target parking lot. I went to shake his hand...but what he grabbed wasn't my hand.

I mean....I wasn't complaining, but some kisses on the neck first would have been nice.

Man, this trip has been non-stop with the wedding and seeing friends. The S is doing well and she'll be glad to be back home and clean again. Especially with having drove her out to Renfest today. Going to have to do a couple trips next year to see more people including my car peeps.

I took a pic at RenFest of the beer battered cheese curds place if that counts. They don't have that down in KC at Renfest so was super excited to get them up there. Yep, I have the burnt copper pearl still in the OEM wheels. Looks way to good to remove it. On another wheel note, I'm 80% sure I'm going to sell my Volk SF Challenges. My days of modding the TL are coming to a close as I'd rather save money for a better car.

Also has anyone else read up on the new Nissan Variable Compression motor? High level is that it is a 4 cyl 2.0 L engine with the same HP and Torque as their 6 cyl 3.5 L engine. Compression varies from 8:1 (economy) to 14:1 race car so it acts as if a turbo was on it with no turbo lag. Anyone else thinking that this could be an awesome swap into the S2000?

LS in the TL!!!! That would be fun to drive. Unfortunately I have an AT so to me swaps are worthless in the TL unless I convert it too. Just not worth the money to do that.

Lol, well I want to drive it now! Thought about a CTS-V myself. Also some BMWs as well. I'll probably hold off for a Tesla 3 or Y. You know once they are all out some rich dude is going to buy all 4 and line time up for a picture to spell out S3XY. I say that because if I had the money, I'd probably be that guy.

You got a puppy and didn't post pics? That's almost criminal.

Here's mine, he's 5 months.

I haven't yet ventured into bringing the pup into the S but he rides in the back of the Jeep like a champ. Got a hammock style seat cover so he doesn't fall on the floor and he loves it.

If I had known what I know now, I would have got a puppy ASAP when I was single. Best pickup line in the world is a puppy.
