Baa, good to see you sir.

Tyler, I am rather upset you didnt bring that car out.

Eric and Jason, I was very amazed that neither of you showed up.

You all better be at Cars and Clouds tomorrow. 2pm. Madvapes of Pineville.

ACCURATEin

How was the turnout today? Somehow I was able to finish that order earlier and send it out. I am positive it will not reach the destination without falling apart.

Thanks for reminding me about the cars and clouds meet. I will probably show up at some point.

Great seeing ppl I havent seen in awhile like Bee. Brought the work camera to Cars and Coffee today and played around with it. I has wide angle lens on it and did a subie shoot today.

Turnout was great. Filled the entire Parking lot all the way to the back.

There was a 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS there today that I absolutely Loved. I've always looked at photos of them online in the hopes to have one, or a 328 GTS. Both Cars appeal based on the phenomenal engineering of the late 80's combined with a small N/A V8. Its a beautiful refined Italian sports car.


There was also a BMW M1 there, BMW Z8, all the guys from GMP performance, the usual Corvette's, Mustangs, Camaro's and the other groups.

It was well worth waking up for.

Hopefully the girl with the TSX Show's up tomorrow.

97CL_NC1102

Did you catch the P1 Stephen?

SHOstopper1992

The Burgundy one that the guy parked in the very back of the lot face in so no one could see it.

He and I left at the same time, so we cruised together for a minute.

Great looking car once I saw it driving. And the Sound is glorious.

ACCURATEin

Really dislike I couldn't make it to cars and coffee.

Looking forward to cars and clouds later today. My frand Scott is stopping by Charlotte in his lexus and I haven't told him about the meet so he will be surprised im sure.

SHOstopper1992

The more the Merrier.

I cleaned my car this time, So it will be a good show.

Now time to get my camera gear together and get ready!

I really wanted to attend C&C with a RCF but my manager wasn't feeling it this month. I had to work all day so I decided to sleep in

I won't be at Cars and Clouds since I don't have my car and my parents are coming in town for my birthday. Take some pictures for me!

chill_dog

A P1? Damn, I love the P1. Spent my day outside yesterday between the car and some yard work. Was going to do outside stuff next weekend, but with the forecast, figured it was better to switch that to this weekend. Going to change the oil, oil filter, and air filter on the mower today...it's just like a car LOL.

97CL_NC1102

My car is also down atm. My power steering pump took a shit on friday (probably due to my winter shenanigans).

ACCURATEin

Cars and clouds had a very large turnout. Cars were all the way in the staples lot, which is where we parked. I was in the jeep. Stephen the TL was looking good in that prime spot all backed in.

SHOstopper1992

When did you show up? I was there from 1:30-6:30. Never saw you.

You should have brought the TL, that would of helped!

ACCURATEin

I was there from around 2:30-4. Was walking around with the largest baskin robbins milkshake that I have ever purchased in my life. haha

I know...I thought about going back and getting the TL but never did.

ACCURATEin

Tyler..hope you had a happy birthday. I suspect you texted me today but I'm not positive. (lost all my contacts)

Sorry I missed C&C. This was the first really warm C&C of the year and that is usually one of the largest ones. Oh well, hopefully the next few will be good

Oh and kind of having a dilemma and figured you guys always have good opinions and are all big car guys, so wanted to run it by you all...

Thinking of trading the Porsche for a CTS-V Wagon. The Vagon would be more practical (example, we've taken the Porsche to the beach once since I bought it) but I'm having a hard time thinking of trading a 911 Convertible for a Caddy Wagon... even if it is basically a 4-door Vette. Then again we have her car and two trucks (FJ and Wrangler), so it's not like we don't have other vehicles with room... but none of them are really great cruisers to take to and from the beach (except for the E350, but my wife uses that as her daily, so we typically give it a break on weekends). And now that we have a dog, we've been taking the FJ back and forth. He would fit in the back of the Porsche... but it's such a tight fit compared to the FJ so not sure how he would do back there for 3 hours. In a Vagon, I still have a beast of a car, plus the comfort/luxury of a cruiser... but it's not a Porsche.

Thoughts?

CCColtsicehockey

Damn I was too lazy to go to C&C this weekend and now I am pissed I missed the Z8 and the P1. Z8 was one of my favorite cars growing up and P1 is one of my favorite cars now.

Where is Cars and Clouds held at? I have never heard of that event before.

CCColtsicehockey

Damn trading in the Porsche already? I know it isn't super practical but I though that was the point of getting it to cruise in while at the beach?

The Vagon is one of my favorite attainable cars. Probably one of the few things I would trade the F in on. I say get rid of one of the Jeeps and get the Vagon. Have a porsche and a vagon. Can't beat that. I know I am not helping you out.

^ Funny I just replied in another topic that maybe I should just trade the FJ for the Vagon. I can't trade the Jeep... that's the wife's

ACCURATEin

I would get the wagon. Fast. Makes a cool noise probably, and if not you can make it so it does. Unique. Can put lots of stuff in it probably.

ACCURATEin

Or you can just keep everything and just acquire the wagon.

ACCURATEin

Just look for a batch of clouds hovering kind of low in the south charlotte vicinity near Pineville.

CCColtsicehockey

This is my vote. Do you really need two off road capable vehicles?

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

I wish. I'm also in the process of looking for a small Class B RV for racing.... so I don't think the wife wants any more cars. We are already looking into building another garage


We don't. But I do love my FJ. Thing is a tank. Seriously it has like 110k miles and outside of oil changes and fuel all I've had to do is the water pump at 100k and front CV boots when I lifted it. It's also good for towing where as a 4" lifted 2-door Jeep really isn't...

Getting a "practical" weekend car doesn't make sense. I would DD the most practical vehicle and then have a toy for the weekends that doesn't need to be versatile.

Everyone go follow @danbilzerian on instagram if you don't already.

Welcome to 2013.

I guess it would depend on your definition of "practical". Some people would say 4 of our 5 vehicles are "weekend vehicles". Works out well b/c the one that isn't is my wife's main DD and I work from home which is why I was considering something like the CTS-V. It could be the practical weekend vehicle. LOL.

Just went out to the garage to unhook the battery tender on the Porsche though and not sure I could let that go

ACCURATEin

Battery tenders are for the win. I've been using one to keep the optima red top in the TL operating.

Yeah,....just keep the Porsche and get a wagon as well.

SHOstopper1992

Dang. Cars and Clouds was great huh?

And I've been following Dan B for a while now. The ultimate bro.

I would keep the Porsche. CTSV wagon is a great car none the less, however the driving experience of a Porsche surpasses that of a V wagon. If you do get the V, you need to add stuff and make the 0-60 time smaller.

97CL_NC1102

Good luck in your quest for finding a V wagon. Before I started at Cadillac we had 2 V wagons and within the week both were sold

ACCURATEin

Just saw a shorter commercial for furious 7 that I hadn't seen yet. At the end it had paul in a white supra lining up next to Dom in the muscle car. Was touched.

SHOstopper1992

I'm so ready.

Anyone wanna go as a group to the midnight showing?

SHOstopper1992

New Phone is in! Brand new 32GB iphone 5s for $150 straight from verizon.

Crazy thing was, With all the bad stuff about the cloud being out there, I am truly amazed at technology.

iCloud did a back up on Feb 22nd at 2am. My phone went through the wash that night at about 7pm. I still have yet to find anything of value I have lost.

I almost had a moment of weakness and went with the iPhone 6... but I got strong again and will wait for the Galaxy S6 release. What's another 4-6 weeks at this point?

Beat-Freak...

Bryan pictures are looking good, when are you gonna shoot my car. My canon DSLR is just collecting dust.


After C&C, took my boy to the dentist. Then had a birthday party at chuck e cheese. Then chilled out at the house.


Sunday was so nice out I started to grill and chill, totally forgot about cars and clouds meets.


Have another car part coming in today


Acurazine needs to add some more smilies...

ACCURATEin

Baa the roof spoiler looks fresh! Nice addition to your already excellent TL.

Import Alliance, Hyperfest, Springfest, and Honda Day. All coming up this spring.

hmm, what modifications will everyone be doing?!
