Tyler I thought you had white wheels?
Aired Out TLS
I know you don't like it when people quote pictures but I don't care what you think. JK Car looks lower than before, coils must be settling down. Unless you got fatter.

Finished putting Tyler's old suspension on today. Loving the slight drop I got, about an inch and a quarter maybe more.. Not too terrible of a job considering I did it all myself and just had to have a friend help a couple times. Gunna try to come out to the meet tomorrow to meet up with whoevers going before I head back to school

I just took a peek at the forecast.
71 for a high on Saturday running a 40% chance of showers.

I'm actually crazy happy about this. My sister's wedding reception for the extended family is this Saturday, and she had the bright idea of sitting everyone in the sun with no umbrellas/shade @ the venue. I'll take 71 degrees in a heartbeat.

Not sure if I am going to the meet tonight or not. It is late and takes me about 45min to get there which means I won't be home till 11 and I have to get up at 530am for work. I want to go but wish it was earlier.

I won't believe the awesome temps that are predicted until they occur. The weather people love to give false hope 5-10 days out, only to give the real forecast a day or so before. 71 would be perfect, though.
Also, drove through Pineville this morning...what a cluster that place looks like by the hospital. With all of the outparcels filled with multi-story buildings, it's almost like driving around downtown...that plus the ridiculous traffic makes for a very unpleasant drive.

They also are calling for showers between from 7 to 9 for Charlotte so that pretty much seals the deal for me. Don't have the time to deal with washing two cars before Saturday.

In this particular case, I'd have to side with Jason. Priorities are key :P

Thankfully going through there this morning was a rare (read: once a year) thing for me. 77 in north Mecklenburg and 485 in SE Mecklenburg are the worst. I would never do either; I'd move or get another job first.

The south village deck which is where I used to park my acura legend when I lived in holshouser looked legit from when I glanced at it the other week leaving the meet. I also noticed a new building with the abbreviation: EPIC

One of my all-time fav cars from s2ki, a guy named vyets from Australia. I know you'll definitely appreciate the details on this one Eric:

Well instead of going to the meet tonight my crazy ass tore apart half the A/C blower and circulation system in the IS-F tonight. That past few weeks while it has been super hot out I have noticed my A/C hasn't been working. Apparently on the IS there is this stupid design that you have to have it in re-circulation mode to change the filter otherwise there is this door that is down block where you put the filter. Didn't know this when I changed the filter last time as there is no warning about it on the filter door. So I pushed the door open and broke the arm connecting to the door. Had to rip the whole system out through the glove box opening and it is supposed to be accessed with the dash off. So that I could drill I hole in the arm and screw the pieces back together. All is good now. Doubt they would have covered it under warranty and most people that have gone to the dealer about it say they normally get quotes ranging between 1000-1500. Screw that. Shit works now.

The AC in the is300 isn't working this week. It probably will next week though. She is on her period right now.
