Highways don't look terrible (on TV) but I'm staying home today. Not worth dealing with idiots on the road.

I think we got about 3" total. Of course, school is closed. It is only 12* out, so I guess I can't blame them for that.

We got a dusting...not sure why anyone is surprised. Main roads were clear early this morning, but secondary roads are ice. I see no need to venture out when I can work from home.

We're in a "code red" at work - basically only those that are absolutely needed should go in. Otherwise, the start time today is noon. I'm just staying in all day - on the news, state police said they've received over 330 vehicle emergency calls, ~120 of which are for crashes.

Yep, inexperienced idiots.

Indeed I am. It looks like you guys had a great time. I wish work didn't make me miss out on that trip.

That is correct sir. I will be at the next one though. Speaking of the next one hopefully we are done with lunch by like 1-1:30pm or I will have to skip it. Either way still excited for the meet.

Where did you see where it looked like we had a good time?


One of the glorious parts of the trip was whipping the ford edge through the blizzard so it kind of worked out that you weren't able to go. It made my trip that much more enjoyable being able to drive.

Next time if you decide you want to go, payment will be required before, which will be non refundable. But that's all if we decide to ask you if you would like to go next time.

Nice... That's gotta suck. I ended up driving back to my hometown (near Elkin, NC) Friday night after all... well most of the idiot drivers got off the road. I basically did 45 mph the whole way up 77. There was a Toyota Yaris that came zip'n past me and the lady was on the phone. I thought to myself, "This freak'n retard is gonna spin her ass out and I'm gonna laugh!" Sure enough she changed lanes like she was about to make a pass on someone and started spinning across the highway.... but somehow didn't hit anything and kept going. I thought she had learned her lesson. I.... was wrong. She does it AGAIN!! I passed her after the second time and I think she was driving about 10 mph up 77 then. ha!

Anyway, got sidetracked there. I did some E-Brake drifting around my hometown and got a little cocky after about 30 mins and damn near took out a stop sign with the side of my car. Fortunately when my rear tire went off the road and hit the grass it stoped about 3 inches away from the post. Then.... I went home. haha

Finally took care of all the salt and shit on the car and this time used my new camera and hardly had to edit any of these pictures! Think I made a good buy.

Cool Nice

I'm running mine through the wash today. Autobell has a special today, "Free Underbody Wash with any wash purchase." Snag one for $4, not bad. Here's some random pics I snagged in the snow.

Yo, just noticed the Base ATLP exhaust too. I've been wanting to hear how it sounds in person to see if it's worth the $$ to upgrade my custom exhaust. What part of Charlotte you live in?

Yea... when I got hit by a deer last year, I tried to pass at least the A-spec front lip off on the insurance comp but they weren't buy'n it. Looking back I would've had the dealership provide the quote and had the work done else where and put the diff towards the kit. Why didn't I think of it then! Grr....

I LOVE my ATLP. It made me fall in love with my car all over again. I'm in Indian Trail, south of Charlotte and Matthews on 74.

I'll be at Cars and Coffee at the NC Music Factory tomorrow from about 8:30 to 11 if you want to meet up.

I applied to 5 jobs yesterday alone. I still have two applications being reviewed from a while back, so we'll see. No one will respond to my e-mails or phone calls about many of the positions.
