Tyler I want to thank you again for suggesting to build a LEGO Sonny's. I'm finishing up another one for an order shipping out to Richmond.

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.

That's C&C material.

Maybe we all can go to Sonnys after the next Charlotte meet?

I wouldn't have changed a think either it would have been great. My neighbors would hate me for a loud car even more than they do now I would suppose.

Got to talking to one of my customers just now and he builds custom models and sells them on ebay as well.
Here is a link to one of his Deloreans from back to the future.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LEGO-Cus...item1c2a0d8044
He's really good. Spent just shy of $400 on bricks and plates.

Attention Charlotte and North Carolina. There is a disturbance in the atmosphere today. Hide your kids. Hide your car/cars. Tell your wife to hide too.

I got all the snow on the car on the way to Snowshoe this past weekend. It was some crazy conditions but the Blizzaks were amazing. You should check out the F thread in car talk for a bunch more pics. Where did you find your snow at?

Maybe if I build a LEGO Biltmore and sell it, I will be able to afford a PMU brake kit for the IS.
My level of ambition for this project isn't where it needs to be at this point though. Too much browsing the interwebs on acurazine and facebook.![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Laziness ftl.

Also hopefully you will not be going the weekend of March 2nd as I would love to see the TL out at the Acurazine NC/SC meet.
If you still haven't gotten it fixed let me know I will gladly come down and help you take a look at it this weekend as Megan will be in PA for the weekend.

I can't seem to stop though. I can't stand driving slow. I think we need more stringent license tests so we can have higher speed limits.

That would be nice. I would gladly go through some extra classes/courses to earn that privilege.
I'm usually content if I can set my cruise at 7-8 over but dumbasses on the road always make me angry and impatient, so I speed up and stay at that speed.

Lol it was more a weekend with my mom primarily. Not switching to the dark side. That is fine though. Probably going to plan for a trip to one of the NC slopes either the 16th or the 23rd if I don't go somewhere else. I really want to ski again especially once my new skis arrive.
I need to stop getting speeding tickets though. I am up to 3 in the last 6 months now.

Where did you get your most recent speeding ticket. My last one was in VA on 81 heading to snowshoe last year.

I have a developing story with the ring I purchased from Diamonds Direct Crabtree.
The sales person was Laura Gallardo.
Laura told me the size 5 that I need will be a special order that will take 4-6 weeks, which would bring the time frame to mid february. It's a good thing I went ahead and did the proposal because after Dorthy and myself walked into the Southpark location to ask some questions, we discovered Laura never even made the special order.

Such a gorgeous ring. I like the CF-style weave that it's sitting on. Will your band have CF in it? Hella lightweight yo ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
And I will come and steal your keys if you spray paint your bumper. You have all these sets of baller wheels and you don't want to spend a few hundred to have the bumper painted properly

How fast did you get up to in the tunnel and what method did the VA police use to clock you? I think the tunnel is the border for WVA and VA if i remember. Those assholes.

Eric you are only downgrading the quality and hard work you put into your car if you spray paint it.
In the tunnel itself I may have seen triples![Ninja](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ninja.gif)
The clocked me on the other side he said at 82 and wrote me a ticket for 80 so I didn't get reckless driving and have to come back to VA to appear for it.
Still waiting to hear if you are actually heading to Snowshoe at all as well.
