The first quote was from a friend.

The second one was from the father of a millionaire talking to his son on tv.

Jason - job is good. Work is ramping up, which is nice...the day goes faster with stuff to do. I like it, so far.

Eric - nah, I've just lived here too long...I know how it always goes, especially when they're calling for something a week out. They never know what's going to happen a week out. Looks like we might get a little ice tomorrow afternoon...meh. And whether it's ice or rain, it'll suck because I'll have to drive home then...Murphy's Laws are absolute.

It's looks like they might have been right this time. It's so cold out..whatever is going to fall from the sky will be frozen.

2009 was horrible. We had two or three blizzards right after each other. Aside from the brutal cold the past week, this winter has been beautiful.

This weather sucks. We didn't have any snow, it was all sleet and freezing rain. Everything is under a coat of ice.

Got my schedule figured out for the spring for the most part but enough that I have chosen a date for the Spring NC/SC Acurazine meet. Working on gathering some information still for things but should have the thread created this weekend.

Spring will be sprung upon us before we know it. But winter still owes me for the blue balls she gave me. Twice. I fucking love snow and it just hasn't happened yet.



On another note, is there something wrong with me that i'm really trying hard to make myself order a pmu bbk for the is300? The damn thing is $3500-3800. I did find some of those teal capped pmu lug nuts that i'm probably going to order today after I tell the wife what's happening. haha


And Tyler congrats on your wolfpack win.

Jason you failed with 'hopefully' posting pics of the mclaren that you saw yesterday that you elegantly failed to notify me of your trip to RK Motors.

Yes there is something very wrong with it. You should be fixing the TL instead and dumping that money into increasing the boost and tuning the TL instead. Also I think you should get the roof wrapped in black vinyl it would look really good.

The trip to RK Motors was very last minute wasn't very long either. I had told my buddy about the LFA being there a few weeks back and he randomly called and said he had time and we should go now. Now was in 15min from when he called. We also were not even there for an hour. Mainly to see the LFA and the McLaren. We also got a treat that wasn't on there website yet which is a Ferrari 275 GTB which they had just gotten in the day before.

I did not get the pics up yesterday but I am working on a few now for real. I did however get the spring meet information finished and posted it just a few minutes ago.

The F40 pic looks really nice. Colors are deep. Quality is crisp. The content is highly sexual and violent.



As for the pmu lugnuts, there was no resistance from the wife. In fact, it was a very positive response from her. She just told me that what I did was a good tactic...suggesting the purchase of a $3500 brake kit, but then shortly after suggesting the purchase of a $95 set of lug nuts. We made an offer for $80, but if it's not accepted I will just buy them now for the $95.


The same seller had some awesome looking gram light 57DRs for $1700 as well. They would look really nice on Tyler's car with a wheel adapter as they are 5x100s.

Ok so I got a lot of pictures edited last night but still have some left to do. The last two pics of the F40 are my favorites.

Ferrari F40









Ferrari 275 GTB (I had to look it up but apparently these average a price between $750-950k )












Lexus LF-A Nürburgring Edition


With all the high tech in Lexus lately it maked me laugh that these are the keys to the LFA.


Ford GT40 CAV


Ferrari F360 Modena Challenge (It has been stripped and race prepped even more than what it was from the factory. Biggest annoyance I found out, they bought it for only $50k )




They have there own white room there for photos.


Love this custom vette.




Awesome Camaro


Isle full of hot rods



Well those that I have left to do happen to all be of the McLaren I will leave you with this teaser of the key though

Awesome shots Jason!

I love how the shifter in that old Ferrari isn't right in the middle of the center console.

And how the hell did they get the 360 Challenge for only $50k?!?!

Thanks.

Apparently the 360 was modified more and made into even more of a racecar by someone other than Ferrari. Apparently that decreases the value. I would have found a way to daily drive that non street legal Ferrari if I would have found it forsale for only $50k.
