I think the meets have been called off for some time.

Went to rock bottom last night and it looks pretty bad ass with the new renovations. Dorthy had a girl from the belgium office there. SHe was pretty cool.

..Delivering another semi motherload of photos from Charlotte. This was the second detox meet after import alliance. Hosted by Eurowise and Metrolina Auto Group. Good meet.
I used to work with the owners of these cars at GMP Performance. None of us work for them anymore.
I've noticed my camera doesn't capture purple very well. The centers on this car are indeed purple. It's unfortunate my camera is unable to capture it correctly and it makes me want to punch it.
The owner of this car also used to work at GMP Performance.

Round 2 is looking good . The purple came out in that one pic. I think it looks good, too. I like the wheels on the GT-R as they show off the brakes nicely. In fact, I love it when rotors/calipers fill the wheel...it looks soooo good.

Aired Out TLS
I believe Charlotte cruise ins "CCI" are every Thursday nights off of Independence Blvd. Parking lot meets.
Cars and Coffee monthly meet is in Two weeks or every first of the month weather permitting. At the Charlottes NC music factory.
Next big meet i think is in November at Zmax dragway, some kind of stanced out meet or something.
Weakfest car show is being held in New Jersey Aug 26.
You just miss 3 good shows in the past couple weeks.
Oh guys im on youtube and got my 5 seconds of fame at the last freshwise meet and they put my car as the thumbnail haha gyea.
Sean there's a little bit of your cars ass in there also.

Cars and Coffee is the first Saturday of the month as Bee mentioned.
East Coast Fitment Festival is in November at Zmax.
Also Freshwise is putting on a 2nd meet on October 6th @ St Joseph Vietnamese Catholic Church (4929 Sandy Porter Rd, Charlotte, North Carolina)
I saw the video Bee. Pretty cool we were in it.

Can you guys give me your opinion on Greensboro?
I have a job opportunity there, and it will get me trained on large systems/mainframes which is what I really want to work on. I was hoping for something closer to Charlotte though.
I've worked in Greensboro once before, but I was there for 5 days and worked about 15hrs each day. So I didn't get out much to explore.

Greensboro is alot slower than Charlotte or Raleigh. I find myself bored when I visit GSO. All the essential places are there (good shops, restaurants, and housing/apartments). Just seems lacking for younger folks, though. And this is even with 5 colleges/universities in town.

So two not-so-glowing reviews. That sucks. I was really hoping for something in Charlotte though. Charlotte is on my short list of destinations, along with Atlanta, Phoenix, and Vegas.

Any openings in RTP Morgan? There are a TON of businesses in that area.
Have you looked into a job at SAS? I'm sure I could get my dad to give you a recommendation

Im on the SAS website right now. They do a lot of work for the gov't apparently. They also have a site outside of Richmond....
I appreciate the offer, but I'm not qualified for any of the jobs they have available.

^ I'd love to get into SAS. One of the best employers in the country, apparently.
Morgan, its not like Greensboro is bad. The area is just more suited to raising a family, thats all. Plus, at least youre closer to Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham.
Your short list is similar to mine, except I dont care for ATL. What field of work are you into?

Take the offer in greensboro so you can go ahead and be right between the raleigh folk and the charlotte folk. Then wait for a job opening in charlotte.
Greensboro is on the come up.
