Walk out of my apartment this afternoon to go to class and glance over at my car as I'm walking to the bus just to check her out like I always do and what do I see. Some mother fucker nailed the shit out of my front number and just dipped out no note or anything. Great first day of classes let me tell you. I'm livid. Will post pictures later once I get on my laptop. Going searching around the parking lot today and going to look at everyone's car and see if I can find paint transfer and going to go to the main office and see it there's any cameras in the parking lot. This is unbelievable.

South charlotte people. The new 7 eleven is open as of a couple hours ago (the one by the walmart in Indian Land). On Friday from 11-6 they are giving away free slurpees and car washes. I actually managed to get a free one today for being the first customer hehe. Apparently one of my buddies is a manager of the car wash there. He was telling me how high tech it was. It's one of those Sam's express washes. 
Is it bad that I want to sell my S and do this with a rocket bunny kit?

That would be fun, but stay in the Honda.
Gentlemen, the passenger side is currently sitting on 275/35s. Any recommendations for what type of tool to cut fenders?

For cutting the inside lip of your fender, I'd suggest a Dremel and A LOT of patience. Weren't you going to have Mike Ngo massage dem fenders anyway?
*edit* You got some free time tomorrow? I could bring my Dremel over and check it out...

Well I had heard of people using dremels, and I have one. Which saw blade should I use? When I cut the fenders out I will be able to lower the perch on the sleeve. And I want to run some spacers all around so mah meat can poke out and chop in the wind.

Pictures of the damage... There's like paint cracking in a straight line all along the bumper that you cant really see in the pics but its pretty shitty. The office was closed today after my class so I'm definitely going tomorrow afternoon before.

Here's his car:
*edit* Yep, I just counted: Red TEs, Ti Silver CEs, Diamond Black CEs, Merc Silver REs, Bronze TEs, Silver BB LMs, & Wedsport TC105s. What's worse...they're all in the specs I would buy if I was buying them -.-
Here's a couple more shots of his garage & parts:

Hey guys I just got my dad's business up and running and was hoping to get your support. He's been baking for almost 20 years now and can do just about anything. His specialty is cheesecake and its a home made NY recipe and he offers over 30 different kinds. He also does small treats like dipped fruit, snacks, etc. For now its only local (no more than 30 miles around Charlotte.

Thinking about snapping some pics of the nicer modded cars from my apartment complex just to show you guys what some of these college kids are working with.... Some are really nice and some are downright hilarious what these kids put on their cars

No not even the ridiculousness of the niceness or expense of the cars just the tackiness and ricerroneys that these kids put together. There's only about 4 or 5 impressivley modded and nice cars the others just make me laugh... The nicest one is probably my good friends 2013 range rover sport and the second is a BMW that I've been parking next to that I'm pretty sure is a 335 but it's debadged so I'm not positive but it looks nice but I'll take some pics over the next few days to give you guys a taste haha

The Australian chick in the video is just as human as I am. If she can make some fiberglass fenders...so can I. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the photos.

I don't know if the Tuesday night meet is still happening. We will have to wait for Bryan to respond.
