All of these things that we wish were in video games will happen one day.


I remember playing super Nintendo BACK IN THE DAY and we would be like...'man I wish there was a game where you can drive anywhere.' Sure enough, that happened.

No I quit because I was getting blamed for things that BMW should have been in control with. You'd think it being a Hendrick owned dealership they'd have more organization but they were far from it and made my job hell.

I've seen lots of nice and modded cars around the Charlotte area since I got here yesterday. Me gusta.





Where do you guys get alignments done? I need to order adjustable ball joints for the front and get everything straightened up as well since I got the 215s.

Ok guys here's the word. Although the UNCC Modified Meat has been shut down for Mondays, Charlotte Motorists Group now has a sanctioned meet every tuesday at 8:30 at North Deck. I really dont know how they got the college to sanction another meet after the street racing bust but Im not gonna even try to debunk it.

I'll be there on Tuesday

Bryan, thanks for the heads up for the alignment place. I don't have a place near school and I'll be in Charlotte at least once a month so I might as well find somewhere that I can do it.

The weather for washing the cars this week sucks. Supposed to rain everyday. I need to get the F new tires and aligned before the meet. My front drivers side tire is chewed to hell and had to put the factory wheels back on to go home this past weekend.

It has been this way for over a month unfortunately. I can wash the TSX in the garage with a bottle wash probably but the F is horrible dirty. Probably needs washed twice.

I haven't washed the FR-S in over a month. It's getting detailed Thursday and sitting in the garage until Saturday morning. This time Im taping the car up for the drive too.

Its actually nice having a second car that actually....runs.

I washed my car last weekend and it was clean until I got to Charlotte

Luckily it's only rained at night when the car is stationary so I can just wipe it down in the morning and there are no spots

There are a few options out there. The 2 Firestone locations that were mentioned a little further up are there, as well as going to see Mark Marske @ Modern Nissan in Lake Norman. You can also go to any Acura dealer that's equipped to service the NSX.

Good to know, thanks! I'm still running the specs that I had with my 235s but now that I have 215s, I should be able to reduce the amount of camber to clear fenders.

I haven't washed the F I would say in just about as long. I guess I need a third car I guess so I can wash it and leave it in the garage all week.

I am going to be trying the Firestone in Mooresville as I need to get the F aligned once the new tires go on. Hopefully they have an in ground as I have not checked it out. If not I am going to try modern Nissan but not sure if they will be able to get me in on Friday as I haven't called them yet to see.

Gotcha. I may go but it depends on how much work I get done on the Lexus tomorrow night. I need to get the other wheels mounted but I need a hand to press the brake pedal to get the spacers off the front lol.
