He didn't just run back to the fort. The buster brought ME back. You can have any beer you want. As long as it's a corona.

Mah woman is in Cary for the day. I'm sure she'll be visiting all of the local CFAs getting her grub on

We are having people over tomorrow if anyone is in the LKN area. Me and all my stand up jet ski buddies will be riding the lake most of the day but we only ride for 20 or so minutes and then come back for a rest and a beer. If anyone wants to hit up the lake, text me 607-341-3571

Not a bad idea. Mooresville (GoPro Motorplex) may be even better b/c it's outdoors. You'll get more attention at Victory Lane though. If it's not busy you can just tell the workers what's up and if they are available, they'll likely spend time with your niece and her cousin and go over a bunch of stuff with them...

Hey Charlotte people! I'm moving from Asheville to the queen city tomorrow. Does anyone have recommendations for a reputable body shop that could paint my front bumper & ASPEC front lip? My front was repainted sometime in the past and the kit doesn't match the way it should. I'd like to have either the front matched to the lip or both matched to the body.

Cheers and I look forward to meeting more of you once I get settled in!

BTW -- Birdsong Brewing is my favorite!

We outsource our minor paintwork to a different company. They are decent but I've seen a fair share of vehicles come back after having pieces painted a few years before and they are horrid.

Of course that comes down specifically to the person painting, not the company itself, but I'm still skeptical.

Today was pretty fat. Gathered about $100 worth of free chickfila with BK, the wife, and the niece and cousin. Also enjoyed a free watermelon slurpee.

I'm interested as long as we aren't doing inventory at work that weekend (currently scheduled for it, but they delayed both of them last year). I almost made C&C in July, so I've got the itch to go.

Birdsong currently makes my favorite individual beer locally. I love the Jalapeno Pale Ale. I plan to get a keg of it once I built my kegerator for the house.

I had my whole front end painted at scotts autobody in Charlotte. Google them their shop is off interstate 77


I wish they would've started to spray away then fade in to start, seems like the painter pointed right at the middle of my fender to start and I can see that spot. Other than that its a pretty good shop. Thinking of doing my front lip again, its scratched from the static low.

I'm not big on the jalapeno beers...they're ok, but I can do without them.

I got up at 7:00 to wash the car since I have limited times I can wash due to the driveway being in the sun. However, I didn't make my way out until 8:00, and it was too late by then. Thought about going to C&C since I was up, but said fuck it since the car was dirty. Then I went back to bed .

Absolutely nothing; it's a great house, but this one is yours. Things are better when they are yours as you have total freedom to do with them as you please. So are you still in the Lake Norman area or did you move to south Charlotte with everyone else?

What ski do you have and what is wrong with it? I can probably fix it.

Edit...I am down to ride any time, any place.

Yesterday did get a little crazy. We had a bunch of people over. And I pulled a 3/4 backflip on my buddies 2013 aquabot v1. (custom standup jetski) I just need to sack up a little more and I will have a complete back flip down.

I am glad I will still be close enough to use the house on the weekeneds.

I did halfway in between. I am between exit 18 and 19 on the west side of 77 is the easiest way to describe it. So I am now south of my work but closer to everyone in south Charlotte. If I would have moved to south Charlotte it would have given me a 45-50min commute again which I did not want at all.

I am not sure. I have huge plans for both in my head but not sure what will get done first. The Lexus will be paid off and years end so that will probably become my car modding budget then for the year then.

A new car lol. Wish I could find a decently priced is-f, got my wife looking at Lexus is250/350 but she love the rawness of the isf. Also looking at evo x but doesn't look like it be comfortable on the inside for long trip and such.

What is decently priced? I have seen high mileage IS-F in the low 30s which for what it is is a pretty decent steal.

For me under 60k miles and around mid 30k price range but really has to be white with black interior in think they mostly come in black interior. I would something 2010 and newer to my wife. She very picky so even if it meet our criteria she still wouldn't get it. I seen a few 90k one in the low 30g there averaging around 35g for one with 60-90k mileage
