Damn, it might be cheaper to just get a super-cheap hotel room over there and spend the week than to drive back here from Wisconsin. What kind of confucktion are you into?

CraigsList is your friend, I found a smokin deal on some new Michelins for the TL.

I'm looking forward to having you back in town, how long are you staying?

By the way, what the hell were you doing to roast your tires like that?
Yeah I didn't think about pressure when I was out, should have. And the cause was an extreme case of onrampitis.

I'm landing in town on Wednesday the 23rd of July and will be free until like Saturday night when my cousin is coming in. We are loading the truck on Sun/Mon and leaving Tuesday morning.

I will let you guys be in charge of the final planning, but I will throw something out there.

If anyone is interested in having a big get together on Friday (the 25th) - I can make sure that day is free for having everyone over. Not sure if Jorge's place is available that day, could go there too.

I think it would be cool to have a full evening of grillin, perhaps some yard games (bocce, polish golf, and bags), and a bonfire.

Some of you that wanted to partake in some drinking and/or shots, I could offer a place to sleep as well if you wanted to party a little harder than the usual meet.

Let me know. We've got a month, but I think this would be a great time to have the killer meet of the summer. Dan - if your cousin is into this type of stuff, we could even make a Saturday of it.

Glow, what the hell is going on with your avatar? You seem to be changing it daily, did you just find an avatar website and you're going through the list?

Dammit Dan!!! You HAD to pick the weekend I have to go to STL for my brother's baby shower, didn't you? I leave on Friday after work, so I will be around for Wednesday and Thursday though. You need a ride from the airport? Or are you going to rent a POS?

LoL @ avatar. Yeah.. I decided it was time to get one. I found quite a few that I liked, but the others seemed to annoy me after a while.

This one suits me well though. I think I'll keep it forever, until I change it.

And josh - you should just sick around anyways. Your brother can always have another baby. sheesh.

If you had ever met my brother, you would not think so. This is probably going to be his first and last.

Besides, I haven't seen my family in over 6 months, it'll be nice to see everyone and remind myself why I moved 9 hours away...

So true. Every once in a while I run into an old friend at the bar, and I'm all excited. Then I get together with them and realize why they were considered an old friend.

What hours do you work on Wednesday (when Dan is in town) ? I have them off now, so maybe we could all get together for lunch or something?

Plus I still have to give you your super sweet RAM.

Glow ya ya the 25th sounds sweet for a meet since I will be there! lol

Josh, sucks you are leaving that weekend. Can't you tell your brother to move the baby shower? Jeeze. I am renting a POS (I'll ask if they have any Acuras, but probably not lol) so I won't need a ride. I am landing at like 8 on Wed night so I will come straight to your house if you will be there. Gotta get my keys anyway and we can have a beverage or several. Did you get a chance to stop by the ol Churchill?

Couple of things, ditch the stupid-ass sticker, get a real exhaust that actually looks decent, rip those dumb-ass window deflector things off, and then the car would look decent. You know, with the exception of those off-road tires....

Just take 77 south past the MOA and keep going until you get to 150th St West and hang a left. Take that road until DCTC is on your right. I don't know exactly how they are going to open it up, but that is how you get there.

From the sounds the wife is making, game over is a good description of what will happen if I buy them. But man, those are the wheels that I have wanted for a long time. They are the lightweight wheels with some shitty tires on them, but they are the look I want and would improve performance immensely.

Damn I want those wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there!

Blackura, If you live west or north of Mpls, you can meet at my house downtown in the morning and we can roll out together. Plan on being at my house around 7:30 so that we can get to the track by 8. Otherwise, I'll see you at the track at 8.

Those photos are from the night we put the suspension on his car in your garage. When he was dropping me off he pulled into the guest parking garage and we took some pictures.

I just might be the proud new owner of some 18s!! I talked the wife into it, now I just have to work the deal with the guy that owns them. He is moving to Japan on Sunday so he really needs to move them, and fast! If I can get the right deal from him I will be rolling into Jorge's on Sat with my new 18" fatties!
