I was thinking today it has been way to long since we have had a dinner and beers get together at a nice local micro brew establishment. I think it might be time for another one soon.

Nice photographies everyone. Keep the pics rolling in. Any pic is better than no pic.

Wats up fellas. It's been a while. Recently got int ANOTHER accident with the CL. Lady cut me off and I rear ended her. Good thing is they deemed it to be her fault. The CL is totaled though. Got a couple parts for sale. Wheels, front and side skirts of the lip, a KSport coilovers and magnaflow exhaust.

ok so im stuck between two colors for the car...blue raspberry metallic or nebula gray pearl. I feel that the raspberry is very different but the gray would put the luxuriness back into the car and make the blackhouse headlight and clear bumper lights stand out. Both colors seem to go well with the wheel color...opinions?

Nebula Gray Pearl


Blue Raspberry Metallic

Damn sorry to hear about the CL. I would grab the rear bumper with that lip on it as well cause that is a rare kit for the CL. I bet you can sell the entire bumper.

Just did some research on ebay and the lego taj mahal that was a $300 set, this dude sold 3 of them in the last month for $1500 each. My feelings are hurt.

I will share my dream the other morning with everyone. The night before i was browsing Joey's coverage of his trip to Japan and the Tokyo Auto Salon (the Chronicles), and it made me have a dream about being in Japan. I was in this auto store and I found this amazing rear mount wing. It was entirely titanium and was beautiful. I had to have it. It was going to cost 80,000 yen or, according to my translation in the dream around $5,000 dollars lol. I was like ..ok..i can pay $1000 on debit, Dorthy can spot me another $1000,and then I will pay the rest on a credit card. And then I think i woke up. But that wing was SICK though. I must create it in photoshop or something.

Thanks but no thanks. You act as if I am unaware of the actual price on ebay not to mention the fact it was bought to enjoy building not for selling.

LEGO is for kids. Don't you have some longtube headers to start saving for?! Just go ahead and liquidate those plastic kiddie toys. Or if you really want to build it, go ahead and open it up and enjoy some quality family time with whomever wants to build it with you, sit it out for a bit, and when it's collecting too much dust, sell it to me for $400.

I used to work for around that wage and discovered it doesn't really pay bills, let alone pay for a paint job.

Two sentences that i've heard that have stuck in my head.

"You can't make money working for someone else"

"If you can find a way to make money in your sleep, then you will be set"

Im trying to get something where I can use my skill in graphics, something entry level cause Im still in school, but I know how to use most of the Adobe products and im learning to use Lightroom 4 now. I have two extensive portfolios, my own website its just the degree thats my downfall. But, I did receive a call from a graphics place in mooresville which pays a decent 13 p/h so I guess its a start
