Welcome to the forum dc

Congrats on the pickup

CCColtsicehockey

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.

Beat-Freak...

Welcome dc

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.

ACCURATEin

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?!

chill_dog

Welcome dc!! A local with a 4G...nice.

dcviperboy

Thanks for all the love. I used to go to c&c all the time in my Honda Accord, but it seems some hoodlums have prevented us from returning to Northlake . Therefore, I have not taken the TL.

I'll be there at the first new meet though. Rumor has it that they will be uptown somewhere.

dcviperboy

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

You cannot have one.

Bu-but why??

CCColtsicehockey

I know

CCColtsicehockey

There was a blue with white stripes gts for sale at Foreign Cars Italia in Charlotte a few weeks ago.

Want

chill_dog

Meh, don't like stripes.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

For the most part I don't either but they look great on Vipers and Cobras

dcviperboy

On the viper? How could you not?

I'm not the biggest fan of them, but some cars (viper, ford GT) just beg for them. I will admit that I completely detest the off center stripe(s). It looks like they forgot to finish the job.

chill_dog

I hate stripes of any kind on practically every car, whether it's pin stripes or racing stripes. I can't think of a car where I prefer striping (of any kind) on it over no stripes.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Looks naked without stripes...





The stripes make you follow them up the length of the car and then you notice the bubble roof

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

civicdrivr

Generally I dont like stripes either, but it just works on the Viper and the Ford GT.

If I had the money:



Flat black or even ghosted stripes =

And the single off center stripe only works on this:

iTrader: (3)

YES. Those ghost stripes are awesome.

+1 on ACR stripes.

CCColtsicehockey

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.

We are having Viper talk

chill_dog

You can post all the pics you want, still prefer no stripes.

chill_dog

It's sunny at your house? Bastard . It's been cloudy all day here .

CCColtsicehockey

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.

chill_dog

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?

CCColtsicehockey

So where are we having beers and food tomorrow? I want to wait till next week to do Tmac again when they will have a different brewery for glasses since last weeks was lame.

dcviperboy

couple of thoughts here:
1) not fair - I'm stuck at the office
2) nice crib
3) that laptop/rsa token looks familiar, you work in finance?

CCColtsicehockey

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.

No I work in IT. It is RSA SecurID for remote access to the network via VPN.

dcviperboy

Oh, ok. I do IT work for a finance company and have a thinkpad/RSA token for the same thing.

I can't believe next week is April...

First off... welcome to dcviperboy. Glad to have ya!!

Secondly, I'm definitely a no-go to meet up this week. Possibly next week as well.

Lastly, that Italian Car/Bike meet I mentioned several pages back is happening this weekend. I actually created a topic for it. If you're around this Saturday, I definitely recommend you check it out. Pretty impressive list of vehicles. I will be there with the Duc...

CCColtsicehockey

You need to become less busy

Maybe I will have to come check out the meet since you won't be making this week and I will only be around if we do it Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Jason, youre in IT? What do you do (if you dont mind me asking) ?

CCColtsicehockey

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.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

My job description is a system admin, but Im really not. Id love to get into security but need to find the time to study and get the certs.

CCColtsicehockey

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.

chill_dog

Doubt I'll make this week...lot going on here.

But not to post empty handed, how about Rusan's for lunch on Monday? Any takers? I haven't been in so long; I'm having serious withdrawal.

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?
