Yes, yes it was.

I am very satisfied with my decision making today. The decision to get up and go to cars and coffee was a very good decision.

The video upload is at 86%.

Thanks Tyler. I think that one is my favorite for the day. Also, i think i'm over processing these photos. The images appear to be a lot lighter in light room and when i export them to the computer they're much darker.


It was a decent size turnout. Jason will be able to compare the size of it to Cary's C and C since he went the other month.

I think the turnout was the same or slightly larger than the Cary meet. I think it didn't look as large because the lot where the Charlotte one is held is at least twice as large at the lot at the Cary one.

Hey guys, gonna be getting some new tires in the next couple of months. Was just wondering what you guys run here in NC. All season or will summer tires do? I know it doesn't snow here often so wondering is summer tires will do. Thanks

I run summer performance year round but that is because the IS-F won't hold traction as well on all seasons. I also have dedicated snow tires for when I head to PA. I would say it would depend on how hard you drive. If you only occasionally do spirited driving I would think you would do fine with some performance oriented all seasons like the Continental DWS or Michlien Pilot Sport A/S.

My girlfriend's lexus will be needing new tires and will probably be ordering some within the next week. I've decided to try Falken this time around as they were the most impressive with representing their brand last year.

Thanks. Nice! It seems a lot of metropolitan areas are having these cars and coffee meets. That's awesome.

Yeah let us know if you ever come to the charlotte one.

hey guy, new to the forums and i can recently bought a 2008 acura tl type s. i already did a few mods to it hopefully can catch up to you guys who already did some massive mods. so far i replace most of the lights with led (license plate bulb, and interior lighting) i did the roof vinyl and foglight overlays. then picked up XLR8 performance resonated exhaust, rota p45r 18x9.5 +30 and muteki neo chrome lugnuts. hopefully have tint, coils, cmod grill, and a few other thing on by spring. i just recently sold most of my 240 stuff so this will be a new experience.

now on to the pictures lol i am no photographer, but my wife tries to be one at least.

Got a job

Only downside is now you guys will no longer be paying me to sit on my ass. Sucks because your president just extended the sit-on-your-ass benefits, too. Going back to 40 hour weeks is going to be rough .

That is cool. How far are they from where you currently are?

Yes indeed as am I.

Looking in the same area or going to try a new location now? Let me know when you start car shopping I want to come along for test drives.
