Oh cool, yea I'm going but don't think I'll make it out to roll with u guys. I'm leaving Greensboro around 12 to meet up some friends in Charlotte then roll out there once I drop off my cat at my in laws.
I got the wheel and trying to fit them, I gota roll the rear fender now I'm using a fatty tire (235/40/18) and I'm scared with such a long drive it gonna cut the tire one way to another even at full weight i got like 1/8 " clearance from tire and fender. Just don't trust much people rolling fenders

^I've suggested him before, but try Aaron Mabe in Winston if you don't mind the drive. He does some of the best fender rolling work I've ever seen.
Also guys, miiiiiiiiight have a surprise on Friday. I'm going to keep it a secret just in case it doesn't come through.

Bryan what prompted the sell of the civic?

I was at honda with my dad picking up parts for the replacement cylinder head stud and he asked me "If you could have any car here what would you get"? Naturally I asked a salesmen to see the new SI's but they didnt have any. He then said well if you can find a car that you like would you sell the civic. I said yes. I remembered that my buddy was selling his LGT wagon and told me he was selling it for 9k. I drove it today and fell in love. It shifted like butter (BNR Shorty shifter). Everything on the car is new and replaced

He's also throwing in the stock turbo, exhaust and some other parts as well as two sets of wheels and tires. I have a soft spot for wagons and to top it off its making around 300hp/tq and awd. I needed something with moar power and something a little more comfortable

Nice!
Usually all it takes to fall in love is that first drive and ride.
Looking forward to seeing pics of it.
And congrats on the new acquisition.

Oh wow lol.
Nice.
Sounds like a week of photographic action for you. I bet you can run a few shoots down there if you find some cars that are worthy too.

Aired Out TLS
Today is a good day. Got my 2014 navi disc update for the car.
Also my voice recognition wasn't working, so took mic area apart disconnecting and re-plugged everything and its good now.
Just waiting on Ravspec to send my Work wheels lug locking master key
so I can finish on my brake pads. I lost the key somehow.
Also have a appt with freemans car stereo Thursday, to finish my audio setup, they was booked for months.
Congrats on the new car Bryan .

Guys I really think I saw a white TLX when I was leaving the post office today. It was white and had the jewel eye headlights. And just yesterday someone in the 3rd gen TL group on facebook said he saw one.
