I tried my best to get him out with his TSX this past weekend but to no avail. A uncc car meet on friday night, and a Porsche parade national event today in Uptown was not enough for him to bring the car out. It is a shame colts!

I just found out about the Porsche thing this morning. I would've thought something that closed streets downtown would've gotten more publicity...would've loved to have gone. They're suppsed to have 45 or so cars at the convention center Tuesday and Wednesday.

Good meeting up with you guys tonight.... I want to apologize for not making the trek back down to southend for the late night eat. We'll get a beer or two or three sometime within the month.

Jason thanks for taking pictures of the cars. Strobes for the win.

e, j, & r, had a good time meeting up last night with you all! i must really commend jason on his meticulouslness and professionalism when it comes to photography ... that boy just knows how to get down. i can't wait to see the finished photos and show those west coast boys that we do indeed know a thing or two about modifying cars.

eric, you bet i'll keep you to your stated offer ...

Dude if you want to roll in on saturday, you could drive down to the university area friday evening. We could attend the unc charlotte meet on friday night, hang out or whatever, maybe even get some of the local acuras out for a mini meet while you're down here. I've got 2 guys coming down with a s2000 and IS350 that are pretty sick looking.

CCC - You're leaving in a week? Damn. This week is going to be pretty crazy for me, actually. It's kind of ironic because 98% of the time I have the same schedule and/or nothing going on. I might be able to swing that Friday night thing at UNCC (saw the new entrance Saturday on the way to Crue Fest...wow!). Otherwise, I'll just have to catch up with you your next time through since this weekend is shot.

yeah i am leaving in a week. the place where you guys meet is that down near exit 18 and north lake mall at all. if so I might be able to do a 1 or 2 hour meet friday night as long as I can persuade the girlfriend to be ok with tagging along for that long.

We usually meet in Ballantyne (far south side of the city). I think the meet at UNCC is actually somewhere on the campus, although Eric will have to verify that. If so, it's about 10-15 from exit 18. Just tell the GF the restaurant you're going to is down there (and there are a few nearby that are pretty good).

if we can plan it to be about an hour long meet and i can pull it off in two hours round trip then I am good. car will be almost fully detailed by then so a place to be able to unload the trailer will be essential so a campus parking lot sounds like a good idea.

I'm game for Friday at UNCC (and Flying Saucer afterwards if anyone's interested). Eric, do you have any details of the meet they have there? There was never anything like that when I went there (man that was a long time ago ). Where and when, specifically?

So are you guys planning a mini meet tomorrow night or what? If it's close by, I might be able to pop in for an hour. Let me know. Eric, If I don't get up with you before the show on Saturday, have a blast man and please let us know how you do on the dyno.

If you guys want to meet up, i'll be at the UNCC car meet around 10pm friday night. Everyone is welcome to come, and you can also check out some of Charlottes finest ricecars as well. There is always an assortment of vehicles and makes at these UNCC meets. One time a gallardo even came out haha.

So Vinny, Jon, Jason, Jack..etc...just head on up to the university area tomorrow night if you guys don't have anything going on.


Also reminder, HOT IMPORT NIGHTS is on saturday!!

Good deal! I wanna see your car with all the new stuff on it and the red calipers. It's on the top level of the newest deck on campus. It's kind of hard to explain where it is. I guess the best directions would be to take 485 to hwy49..go towards the university..go past the main entrance to the campus and take a right turn onto the campus...maintain 20mph...go past the first parking deck...and once you start to descend the hill you'll see the brand new parking structure which will be where the meet is held.
