I have long ago left Firefox for Chrome and never looked back.

In 8 days I'll be on my way to Charlotte for a week or so
What should my girlfriend and I check out around town? We are in Indian Trail but can drive wherever. I think there's a museum downtown she wants to go to but we don't have plans besides that. Well, Sonny's of course, but that's a given

Was your "hehe" intended sarcasm? I can't tell 
I do want to see the NASCAR HoF, take some pictures and such. RK Motors is on the list as well.

As for a museum downtown...the Bechtler art museum? Discovery Place (stretch as a museum, but usually fun)? I'd pass on the former, but that's me...I have no culture
. If she's into the art stuff, besides Bechtler, there's the Mint Museum on Randolph and the Museum of the South downtown, as well. If you like outdoors stuff (read: gardens), there's Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens and the gardens at UNCC (still free, I believe). There's probably some other stuff around to do, but I can't think of it off the top of my head at the moment.

Cars and coffee pretty much filled up the entire lot today making it a record turnout. There were a lot of cars that I didn't manage to get a photo of.
Ben's CL looking fanfuqqingtastic. Ben sorry I didn't get to talk to you.

Is there any chance that when we insert the gran turismo 6 disc into our playstations and turn it on and get into the prototype nsx and turn up the volume that it will sound like that?! Maybe?! Please?!

Nice pics, Eric. Looks like a good turn out. Earlier in the week I had been thinking about going...but I remembered at about 10 as I was eating breakfast .
