Looking starting to think if I am going to be able to plan something good that it will need to be in Charlotte for December and then a larger meet planned for the Spring in either Raleigh/Durham/Cary area or Greenboro so that more time can be had as I am not as familiar with those areas to do it spur of the moment.

Going to put in a little more time looking tonight by Google Maps for a possible good location for a meet in one of those two locations but I am not sure I will have the time to get it put together and still give people enough advanced notice. I can probably put everything together tonight for a Charlotte one though.

The Raleigh C&C has actually been moved to Cary since it's gotten so big. It's behind the newly redone Waverly Place shopping center. There's a CFA right there

And fawk you Eric

Edit: WRAL did a story on C&C. Here's what else they posted:

  • Cars and Coffee Greensboro is held the third Saturday of every month from 8 a.m to 10:30 a.m. at Jefferson Village off New Garden Road.
  • Cars and Coffee Durham is held the last Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the top of the parking deck next to Mellow Mushroom on the American Tobacco Campus.
Based on the information Tyler provided above I think November or December meet that would start with a gathering at Cars and Coffee would be hard since Greensboro would be this coming weekend, Durham would be Thanksgiving Day weekend. I am not sure what day the Cary one is though so I can't rule that out as a possibility yet.

My plan though would be to try and do it Saturday December 1st as of right now but I will post more this evening about it.

C&C in Cary is the first Saturday of each month, just like it was for the Raleigh C&C.

Keep us updated Jason!

And i'm so glad he's changing the color of it. I've been looking at nighthawk black pearl TLs since 2004. It will be refreshing to see a different color.

I love an Azine meet and down for a meet anytime and place. Just havent made it to any outta state meets yet.

I have a wild guess on what Sharks new color paint will be.

If he is keeping his wheels purple, then car will most likely be painted white. Its already primed white right ? White colored cars looks good with any painted color wheels.

Teal. A bit lighter than this Genesis:



Then I would put back on my stock headlights and sidemarkers, clear my headlights, and repowdercoat my wheels to a silver color.

Yes I've thought about this before

A good paint job for a respray in the same color is usually 2500-3000. If you want to do a color change with the engine bay and all the jams you are most of the time looking at between 4500-6000.

That looks very similar to Spoon blue. Maybe just a tad darker.

So I guess I'll be looking at the $4500-6000 range

If I ever get my car redone, I'll be doing it properly. I've been telling Aaron to send those vultures down here but they haven't come. Bitches
