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%.

Awesome shots Eric! This is my favorite:
Btw, since when is the Charlotte C&C so small?

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 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.

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 .

Otto Environmental Systems. I'll start part time next week while I finish out my notice at CIT (only part time there). I'll then be full time as of the 21st.
Thanks.
Yes, we should. I am rather thirsty
No kidding! Looking at some houses tomorrow. The new car is not far off
