I think that's where I'm going to get the A-Specs fixed once I get a set of stockies.

I submitted my resume over there at Eurowise. They need a Tire Tech/Shop Hands/ universal Kind of guy. It's better than dealing with the BS I deal with now.
I am thinking about going back to school in the spring. So we will see where things go.
I'd be going for Business Management or some kind of Marketing Degree. I know Continental Tire in Fort Mill has a HIGH PAY internship plan thats available while in school for business majors. And with my background of 5 years in the tire business, I am gonna apply for that as my full time/part time gig while in school. I think it would be awesome!

working at dish network has been phenomenal! i'm really kicking butt and taking names. i will say, however, that traveling int'l so often gets old (about 10-13 days a month). living out of planes, airports, and hotels isn't as cool as it sounds ... especially time zone changes. at least i earn crazy airline miles and points at the hilton - i also have a driver 24/7 when i'm abroad
i'm actually in manila now and can't wait to get back

It was a great turnout last year, but it was hot and couldn't stay out there too long before I got thirsty n stuff. Like all the nicer car plus car club on one side n everybody else on the other. Had a dj out there plus vendors. There a bump that will break your car in half on the highway I swear my knee felt it more. I know Bryan knows about this lol. I am still undecided since the tl is filthy and nothing new with the car except wheels. I might just pass and save my effort for import evolution.

Bring Me the Horizon has some good songs...never heard of A Day to Remember, but I would imagine they're similar since they're on the same tour. Unfortunately, I'll pass on the show. I like a good radio rock show, but these guys seem to think a lot of themselves. $40 for randoms? Currently eying Amon Amarth in October and Slayer in November...doubt anyone here is interested in either, though LOL.

So Dankfest was fun but was hot as fuck. There were so many cars there that it had an Import Alliance feel to it...1300+. We had a 70+ car caravan from Northlake. I almost went to jail twice coming back on 85 South.

Hey guys I'm still around. I was throwing the idea of selling out there just because I kinda wanted a bigger car again and so I posted the ad on craigslist to see if there was any interest but haven't been pursuing it very much. For you guys who want the roof rack, as of now I'm just going to keep her on and if a buyer doesn't want it or any of the other parts on the car then ill make a for sale thread to for locals first then open it up for shipping to the rest of azine.

On the way back last night I was behaving myself. And Then...I saw bmw headlights roll up in the left lane. It was an older blue M5. He was traveling from VIR I'm assuming and was heading to Georgia and was rolling along hastily. I decided to try and roll with him, but as we got on 85 he kept pulling farther and farther away, eventually out of sight. I thought about this for a little while and was like, nah doggie,..this is my state. I'm gonna represent and let this driver have a good memory of his commute through NC. I caught the M5 and let him know he was getting passed whether he liked it or not lol. In the 3 lane section where all the trees are and the rest area, we opened the throttles and just went gumball on each other. It was pretty even. The bike was on the roof but I didn't care. We raced again near Lexington and then my gas light came on.

Yea it sucks I was around the left hook for first part of the race then moved to the area right before the snake. I had a big screen in front so I saw all the replays and accident. The viper pop the wheelie near the south bend and had a face full of grass but recovered back into the race. I saw the first accident with the JetBlue Aston and another Porsche on the second lap. It was so intense since everybody was all packed in together. Gonna put some videos up n picture didn't have my camera so everything phone quality.
Are you going to the next race at road Atlanta the 10hr endurance race?
