So tomorrow is supposed to be another beautiful day outside. Was thinking it will be another great day to sit outside at Duckworth's and enjoy a few brews and some great food. Temps are supposed to be between 75-77 tomorrow.

Yes but it is unfortunately leaving us. I wanted the high 70s to stay while the gf was in town. That would have meant bikinis FTW!

There's no reason she can't wear it inside if it's too cold outside.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind going out for a bit, but Duckworth's isn't doing it for me today. I'll have to think about it.

Current plan...go home and see why one of my tires/wheels is making a noise...if an easy/quick fix, go out if anyone is going. Every time I've looked at it I don't see anything, so I'm going to have to take the wheel off .

Tried calling you Jack but you didn't answer. So I take it you were not a fan of Duckworth's then? I just want to go somewhere that I can enjoy the outside weather. So that leaves either Flying Saucer or Brixx if they have outdoor seating. What time are you getting off today cause I am technically done in 20min. PM your address if you want and I can stop by and help you figure out your tire/wheel problem.

I live by the YMCA in Mooresville

I should be getting a 3g Type S in hopefully 3 months (this car is giving me headaches after 7 years). My knowledge on the 3rd Generation's Isn't extensive but I think I know enough to get a good start.

My friend Scott came down for the weekend and we spent some time messing around with the cars. Decided to work on the front end of the lexus. Cleaned the headlights, installed some bulbs, installed some yellow film on the foglights, and spray painted the grille black. Just these inexpensive mods, in my opinion, greatly enhanced the look. Now i've got an itch to modify it further.





No pics of the final result unfortunately. lol

Really? No after pics? Fail.

Headlight is much improved, though. I knew it was only a matter of time before you started modding the IS LOL.

Now I either want to open the headlights up and paint them black or buy some online. Might order a front lip and maybe choose an exhaust for it. This car is a little easier to mod because there are actually options lol.

The CL is Scotts. I forget what brand the wheels are. He will be at the Raleigh meet on saturday if you're going.

So thinking we should do Brixx this week Eric, Jack, and Junior.

Trying to decide which one to hit up.

It is between Foxcroft, Uptown, and Dilworth ones,

Foxcroft - 7814 Fairview Road, Charlotte, NC
http://brixxpizza.com/locations/charlotte-foxcroft

Uptown - 225 E. 6th St., Charlotte, NC
http://brixxpizza.com/locations/charlotte-uptown

Dilworth - 1801 Scott Ave., Charlotte, NC
http://brixxpizza.com/locations/charlotte-dilworth

Foxcroft seems to have the best outside sitting area, there is a special Four Friends Double IPA cask at Uptown on Thursday starting at 5pm, and Dilworth seems to have one of the better overall beer menus.

Right now uptown is winning in my mind since I will be coming from 77 since I have to drive up to meet Megan after work before getting to wherever we are going but I am definitely open to input for sure. I probably unfortunately won't make anywhere before 4:30 since having to drive up to 18 to pickup Megan before going to where we decide. I am even open to other places but I have one requirement that we can sit outside with the nice weather they are calling for for Thursday.
