Nice to offer. Thanks Eric. But I'm going to do a 3x3 and mix the Racing Type-F with D4, so I wanna stick with one brand.

If you have some Amsoil DOT4 brake fluid or Amsoil PS Fluid, we should talk; I might be willing to make an offer on that.

You're welcome Jim. At first i was thinking it was redline because of the red fluid, but after staring at it for 20 seconds, i realized it was a completely different brand. I don't have any other amsoils.

Knew that. Only RedLine dealer within 25 miles or something like that. I figure they can order what I want though.

I'll give 'em a call. Thanks for the info.

Hendrick Acura posted a link yesterday on their facebook fanpage to an article on CNN Money talking about the top ten fastest growing cities in the US.

Charlotte was the fastest, and Raleigh a close 2nd. It said the population is now 1,200,000. Last time i checked it was 750,000.

I did some cost of living, crime, growth research before we decided to move (back ~'97). At that time Cincinnati (where we were living) had a compound annual growth rate of 5%. Charlotte had a CAGR of 20%.

Also on the list:

Charlotte
Raleigh
Greenville
Knoxville

We're obviously in the middle of population growth center.

You can tell Greenville is growing just by driving down 85. There is a corridor of brand new buildings right along the interstate. Those buildings look very neat.


I also just looked up the ballantyne road expansions outlook and Bissell Development is going to spend 11M of their own money to help fund the projects. They're going to build a flyover bridge for the northbound traffic on 521 to connect to the inner belt 485. (which will be amazing) There will be a 4 lane bridge connecting community house drive to Johnston Rd, with bike lanes and 6 foot sidewalks.

485's master plan has 4 lanes each way from 77 to 74. One of the lanes will probably be a toll lane for motorists that want to 'get shit done'. (people like me) lol.

These projects are going to start very soon, and i am more than excited about all three of them.

I think the growth thing goes for most of the Southeast honestly. I know Columbia is steadily growing. They are building a new 90 acre Amazon warehouse here right off of I-77 exit 2.

Also, Raleigh was just named one of the 10 best cities for college graduates to get jobs immediately after school.

That's a really big warehouse. Go take pics of your TL in front of it when they're done.

Yeah Raleigh has been growing. I've been watching it for a while now.

Dorthy did all the searching. We were eating at Skillets earlier and were wondering what the plans for the roads will be.

She said she searched for 'I-485 widening to start next summer'.

She said the article is on Charlotte Observer from April 24, 2012.
