What to do for our meet next month now? Usually we start with C&C

Maybe just meet at RK Motors since they have plenty of parking? Get there early for our pictures and such and then go inside?

ACCURATEin

Maybe I'm just hungry right now, but I cant help but think that its going to be hard for me to let this go that these fucking faggots ruined the meet for everyone.

Maybe it wouldn't have happened if you didn't bitch out and run to Durham for the weekend

ACCURATEin

RIP cars and coffee charlotte. Mustang fail bitch boy, I will find you.

ACCURATEin

This is all your fault Tyler. If you never moved to Charlotte, this wouldn't have happened.

Eric, to add fuel to the flame, he was from SC. Weren't you just ranting about their driving techniques?

Boy stop.

ACCURATEin

I know he was from SC. Which adds to the point that we as Charlotteans need to tax their asses when they come across the border. People like Jack and Evan think it's cute to live down there and come up here and get in everyone's way, causing ruckus and road rage and traffic.

ACCURATEin

Oh and I spotted another 3rd gen TL dead on the side of 440. This makes 2 that I've seen now.

The_GPW_AP2

^I think it's cute/amazing to pay 35-40% less taxes by living 2 miles across the border :P

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

You can make up that difference by paying tolls

ACCURATEin

Yes, I know that's why you guys think it's cute. And there are thousands of you assholes. haha

I am foaming at the mouth for the day when a toll booth is proposed.

97CL_NC1102

Well jack hardly ever comes up here anyway

ACCURATEin

Has anyone here driven on the newest section of 540? If you did, what were your thoughts?


To me, it was the nicest section of highway in the united states. The names of the road were etched into the cement on the over passes. The metal supports for the road signs were wrapped in concrete and had 4 leaf clover designs. There was hardly anyone on the highway Saturday morning when I was driving on it.


I kept thinking, ...man this is some bullshit. This needs to be down here where there is traffic everyday. And I honestly think the tolls would make the non toll paying sons of bitches find another way home and the traffic would dissipate.

The new section of 540 is amazing.

Just saw the C&C post. I'd like to slap that D bag w/ a freak'n brick. I finally made it out to my first C&C meet and now it's toast. I'm sure we'll figure something else out. That location was about as good as it gets though, in my opinion.

The_GPW_AP2

Just so everyone knows...RK Motors may be taking C&C and running with it. No real news yet, but it might not be gone forever.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Oh shit! That would be amazing.

gentrysd

Tommy likey!

chill_dog

If y'all would either drive faster or move over, there wouldn't be any ruckus or road rage .


This. And the people down here are so much nicer. I've never encountered a place where everyone, including government employees and minimum wage types, are all nice and pleasant to deal with. Show me the DMV, tax office, or Wally World in Charlotte full of nice, pleasant people.


Technically, I'm here everyday for work. But even on weekends, I'm in Charlotte quite a bit...just not at ridiculous times of the morning.

ACCURATEin

Yes! I just watched it a few times with the volume turned up to listen to the hks carbon ti. It's pretty damn deep in tone.

ACCURATEin

That would be cool. Where did you read/hear about this?!


Tell us moar about the s2000 and gtr that were racing on 77.

ACCURATEin

The_GPW_AP2

I know some people that know some people Seriously though, it's sorta just a rumor at this point. There has been verbally expressed interest, but nothing offical.

As far as the racing, I'll tell the whole story. I'm a little embarrassed to have been there. I was a victim of circumstance, wrong place at the wrong time, etc... but from what I hear I appeared guilty by association. I'm pretty upset because people that know me, know that I'm not into street racing. (Used to be, but that was ~10 years ago)

The guy in the s2000 is a friend of mine. It's fully built, 35r BB, front mount manifold, etc... car can make anywhere between 400-600 whp depending on which tune. We left C&C shortly after the Mustang incident, and were driving together with a couple other s2000 owners that I don't know. A silver GTR that was driving around with us pulls up beside him dropping gears, revving, and pacing the s2000, while we were all behind.

At first, my friend does nothing. He waves the guy off, there is traffic everywhere, etc... The GTR paces him and keeps up the douchebag behavior for awhile. I guess eventually it made my friend mad, so he drops gear and runs. First time, looks like he almost got sideways so he pedaled through and GTR noses him out. Second run, he gets traction walks the GTR.

The main point is, in between these mini runs we're in the middle of traffic, having to slow down behind them (holding up traffic), etc... Apparently there were some C&C attendees behind us and thought we were blocking to allow them to race, when that wasn't really what was going down at all... We were just there getting held up like everyone else.

If it matters to anyone, the friend ended up calling me later apologizing for what happened. Apparently he knows this guy, and the guy had been bugging him over and over in person and on the street for a run. I think it just got to him eventually.

On one hand I'm pissed that people would just automatically assume that I'm involved (I didn't jump in his car and press the gas pedal down for him), but on the other hand it was a bunch of s2000s driving together so... I can see how it might appear the way that they're saying.

ACCURATEin

I wonder if it was Tiny Tom in the GTR.

ACCURATEin

I wonder how the uncc meet is going right now. I told Tyler if i go it depends on if i feel like being a bitch or not lol.



I've been browsing stickydiljoe's coverage of Tokyo auto salon. It's taking a long time go to through the photos.

97CL_NC1102

haha it amazes me that he spins all the way through 4th gear

97CL_NC1102

I like this car.

ACCURATEin

I am getting a sense that both of you guys took some photos at the meet tonight and are in the process of bringing them to the internets.


How was the meet?

ACCURATEin

Saw a couple fotogs posting about flickr issues today on fb.

The_GPW_AP2

Man I'm going to fly to Japan for the sole purpose of burning Volk's HQ to the ground. First they discontinue 17" TE37, and that sucked but I get it I guess... Now they've discontinued my dream wheel/specs. The CE28 in 17x10 +45 is now no longer made. WTF Volk?? Even buying them used will be an extremely minute possibility. They were already selling used for ~$3100, they'll probably be the same as new prices now. Not sure if you can tell, but I'm still pissed about the SE37k back in the day. Seems like they always ax the wheels I like the most.

97CL_NC1102

I just want to visit Spoon Sports

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Sorry Evan

At least you're in the market for new wheels

Eric, I didn't take too many pictures at the meet. The rain and cold turned a lot of people away.

CCColtsicehockey

I wish I could do this if my commute wouldn't be over an hr

ACCURATEin

Please don't burn the Rays Engineering manufacturing center to the ground. kthx.

You should listen to your elders when they tell you to stay home.

You should live up to your plans, especially when they are made with a friend's fiancee.
