I'd kill for some new seats (might end up using my tax return for that), so I'll be just about as excited as you to see them! That is, IF I end up coming. Shoot, 180k hmmm, I believe that was around the time my 3rd, no wait, maybe 4th tranny was born hahaha

The physics of cars sliding on snow/ice elude most people.

And "reading" the road surface - FORGET IT!!


I just stay home - it's safer (no urge to ram someone), easier (short commute) and less stressful (less stress = hair conservation).

That's why most people should stay home...or learn to drive, but we all know the chances of that.

I wish I could stay home...everyday.

This morning I almost rammed two people who had a rolling roadblock going on BGP. I think they finally figured it out and created enough of a gap that I could squeak through (and was subsequently gone). I looked back and there was a huge line of cars behind them.

The person who owned the car before me took really good care of the car, I bought it for $1800 from carmax when i worked there. An older lady traded it in for a tsx, but she took damn good care of the car, it had 163k on th odo, still had all the original floormats with no tears and VERY little wear, and even the original owners manual inside the leather case with the original pen from the dealership where she bought it! This thing runs like a champ! The only bad thing about it is the wear in the drivers seat, so that why its time for new seats!

Looking at the meet list, I thought you got a Marketing job with Ru Sans.


Congrats. Hope they get you started soon.

well actually he kinda did. we went up there one friday and I was talking to the parts manager. We got to talking somehow about how I used to write service for BMW cars, he was all "oh you wrote service? We're looking for a service advisor" yada-yada-yada, I talked to service manager, interviewed with him, set up an interview with the owner but I nailed it... I hope I can start soon, also

It was a nice mini meet at the house.....Eric, Nick, Jesse, Jack, Trevor and Jim. Not bad for a last minute thing. An ATLP exhaust has finally arrived in NC. Come to the meet on Mach 7th to hear in person.
