lol.
so yesterday i got into my car, started her up and the maintenance req. light started flashing slowly for about 6 seconds then went away. as far as i know, nothing major has happened since the day before and then. it's approaching 85000 miles, could it just be telling me to go get a tune up? cause i figured anything else would trigger the CEL.

anyway, here's who i think is showing up to our little lunch

1. razzi
2. asujosh
3. underst8
4. mypearl
5. angel_fall [maybe, im not quite sure what he said]
6. takata

and it think that's it. still 6 guys and some chinese food, gonna be tight. someone wanna call ryan, he might come

here it is again

THE BLIZZARDS COMING - THE BLIZZARDS COMING!!!!


Hopefully I will be part of the group that meets for chinese. The only thing stopping me is that I leave for a cruise at 3am on Sunday - so anything last minute will have to happen Saturday.

Can't beat a free cruise to Cozumel and the Grand Cayman Islands (is that Jamaica?) Wifey's work is sending us for 7 days.

Every time I start my car lately the "Service Engine Soon" light flashes at me and pisses me off. I keep forgetting to reset it. Who would pay the dealer to inspect the same things any decent shop inspects every time you get an oil change?

Hi Dudes I say 12:00 will work better for me. But if we get snow as Josh and Dan say I would rather put some miles on my snow rocket (sled) No Superbowl Parties for you ANIMALS this Sunday. My Giants are playing. On sunday afternoon there will be Ice sled drags in Forest lake any one interested a co-worker of mine has a serious machine 1000CC 141.38 mph on 1000 feet drag of ice. They kicked butt on their last drag. THAT IS SERIOUS SPEED.

Razzi, I think you might just have figured it out. Unfortunately, the same weather people that were predicting snow for yesterday and today are now saying its not going to snow. So, odds are pretty good that we are getting some Chinese food.

Good to see everyone again. I can wait for the good weather. Maybe we can all attend the AUTO SHOW this year. It would be sweet to see all our cars together at the show.

You act as if you didn't have a good time! I mean, come on, who doesn't want to sit around and watch someone configure their bit-torrent software? I bet Ry4an would have been down...

on my out, i took a left, then another left, then one more left around the block, and i still ran into Dan who left 5 mins before me. some old ass volvo or something ended up tryin to race him haha.
