I was thinking around 2:00-3:00, but I guess that could work. 4:00 is pushing early start time for most people, so there might be a slight crowd. Most normal people aren't looking to start at 2:00, so I figure it would be clear. Patio table for sure; weather is going to be perfect. I'm thinking sleep late, wash car, drink beer...perfect Saturday.

Don't be a fag. We're not talking about showing up at prime time again, we're talking about showing up when the people with problems show up.

What shit luck. Of course, if you had moved tables, the service wouldn't have improved any...TM's service (or lack thereof) has been proven time and time again.

^I think it's just that location that's terrible. J & I went to Huntersville location last night, and it was pretty darn good for how crowded it was.

Well we did end up moving to a different table, and the waitress was a little faster than the 49 minutes that the other guy was running on lol.

The philly cheese steak was really good.

Quite possible. The few times I went to the one in UCity the service was decent.

Yeah we were going to meet some friends @ the University location last night, but it was so covered up and they didn't want to wait. Ended up going to Wild Wings with them, drank a single beer, got frustrated at the $4 price tag then we left lol.

I don't think we're going to try today. We've heard ppl constantly saying it's just gotten worse and worse as the week has gone along.

^I can see that; word has gotten out.


Well, as you can see, I'm up early . Fucking birds chirping outside the window woke me up just after 7 and again just after 8. Neighbor got me at 9 cutting the grass. I can't wait to get back into my room where it's nice and quiet and the sun doesn't come around until late morning. C'est la vie. I'll be there somewhere between 2 and 3.

Megan doesn't get off work till 12 so trying to be there by 3pm. If you get there before put in the request for the outdoor table. We are bringing some friends with as well so there will be 4 of us coming. Not sure who else on here is coming as far as numbers go.

I am going to swear off beer except Thursday for like the next month after this with how much I have drank. Today will be the 5th day in a row of 6 credits.

Now off to watch the Lexus finally.

Anybody know where to get a cracked wheel fixed for not too much? I've seem to cracked a wheel and pops doesn't want me shelling out for a new set of wheels yet so I'm just going to have it fixed until summer for now.

Meh. As cheap as the beer was, dealing with shitty service and drunkards stumbling around and getting in my way isn't really worth it. I'll pay full price to be able to kick back and relax, not to mention receive the beer I ordered without having to wait 20 minutes.

It wasn't that bad. Service did suck, but it always does. You did have to wait a while for your beer, but if you ordered strategically, you were fine. No drunkards stumbling around, though...place was barely full; nothing like Wednesday. Overall, it was a great time.

Yeah server was pretty terrible. But that is expected at the Southpark location. I do not know why the other locations have it together and they can't though.

It was indeed a fun night. You missed out Mr. Penguin.

Already had had that but wouldn't have been surprised if they were out of it too. Pretty sure my count by the end of the night was 18 beers ordered and only 6 received cause they were out of the rest.

There is probably no way I could even afford to track a car, no matter how much I want to =( I'm SUPER down to come help out/hang out though.

Plus, turbo and track don't really mesh well in an s2000 without a LOT of money.

Yeah it's pretty expensive.

For starters, it was $400 just to participate over the weekend.

And diesel was $4.00 per gallon at 9.8 miles per gallon in the super duty F350.




So when people ask if I track my TL, the answer is no I do not. I would love to, but no, not yet.

Just found out some terrible news. The guy from Toronto that's producing those extra wide overfenders is only producing 15 sets, after which he is completely destroying the molds on purpose...for the sake of keeping them exclusive and rare. Would be fine...but they're all spoken for already.

Not. Happy. At. All.

Update! A friend who had a spot has decided to back out, and gave me his. Now...to find some money real quick...not sure I'm going to be able to >.<

Getting the parts is the important thing at this point, even if it takes another year to get it all put on the car.

Nice pictures as always Bryan!

^Yeah...now he's saying he might do another 15 in around a year for overseas folks if there is enough interest. Too much of a gamble to try to wait imo.
