I think we should just not have that conversation this week where ever we are at. I deal with it enough and would love to have something enjoyable to talk about for once.

Aired Out TLS
Welcome dc ![Wave](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wave.gif)
Did you ever go to the Charlotte cars and coffee meets?
Seen a 4gen TL out there couple times.
Was gonna stop by and say hi but the owner doesnt stay long out there.

Holy fuck i was just thinking to myself that it's incredible there hasn't been any 4g members in the charlotte area yet after 3 years.
Welcome!
So are you from the District of Columbia and also own a dodge viper?!

I'll be there at the first new meet though. Rumor has it that they will be uptown somewhere.
#7007
haha, neither to be honest. It was my initials and I've stuck with the username since I was a kid. The viper reference was for the vehicle though. Still haven't gotten there obviously.

A Viper GTS, blue with two white stripes, would be my choice

The stripes make you follow them up the length of the car and then you notice the bubble roof![Drool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)
BUT I will say that the stripes don't look right on a RT/10 or the SRT10 'vert. Only the coupe should have stripes

Generally I dont like stripes either, but it just works on the Viper and the Ford GT.
If I had the money:
![](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g49/atomictattoonorth/Viper%20GTS%20ACR/pics0101600x1200.jpg)
Flat black or even ghosted stripes =![Drool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)
And the single off center stripe only works on this:

So had to go home over lunch to take care of an issue at the house which resulted in me working from home the rest of the day. ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

It was actually cloudy here when I arrived home at 11:45am. Sun only came out about 30-45min ago so maybe it is heading your way. Shit needs to get warmer though cause I was planning on working on the jet skis this evening and thus need to test ride them and I am sitting in a sweatshirt outside right now so it is to damn cold. Weather report said 79 for today and it is clearly not right now.

Yeah, the clouds really killed the temps. I was going to do some yard work, but decided against it...did enough yesterday...going to chill. Besides, it'll still be there Friday...why do today what you can do tomorrow?

I can't take credit for the crib as it is my parents. They will be moving in full time in about 2 more years when my brother and sister are done with college up north where I am originally from. I am living here right now so I can skip having to rent and save to just purchase my own place.

Right now I work in application support doing a bunch of small projects but the one main thing I do is manage the asset system and do some monthly reporting off it. However I went to school for network and system administration and then took a side concentration in security as well so hopefully I can get into something along those lines shortly.

Yeah I have the degree but I am not working in it. I also need to get some certs as well. After 5 years of school and 2 co-ops over my last two summers I was burnt out so I am just working this year and having fun with my free time. Next year will begin working at getting certs and looking into where I will do my masters at.

hey fellas, quick question
should i even bother with going to honda for my oil changes? my 1st service is due but the closest dealer is like 35 miles away.
i always used firestone with my acura and never had a problem. as long as i use the same oil and same shop i should be good, right?
