There is a terrible one on the 485 to 77 interchange going north coming from the west side of 77 on 485. I literally have to slow to 30mph for it not to be a bumper otherwise I rub tire really bad any other time.

I need to send my D300 out to be cleaned. There is dust in the sensor and I can't seem to get it clean myself.

No. I might just use the 3200 until I finally upgrade to full frame. I see there is a new d750 that just came out.

Oh yeah, how was the meet?!

The camera should have an option in settings to format the card. Make sure there's nothing on it you want to keep.

Uh oh...that might be a problem. My menu screen won't show up so unless there is another way to format the card then it's definitely time for a new body.

I'm glad you finally decided it was time to show up to a meet. It just so happened I was in Durham and if my snaps from Saturday at Raleigh cars and coffee didn't give you a hint then I feel bad for you son.

I doubt I'll be going to another UNCC meet. The cars and the people are wack. I'll do C&C and any Acurazine meets but that's about it.

Well that's because none of the heavy hitters synced up. If they do and they all show up then all of a sudden it's not so bad.

Eric, someone just posted a picture online of your car with the Jewel Eye headlights....

I have come to one of 2 conclusions:
-You did do the Jewel Headlights
-Someone is really REALLY good at photoshop

Also to mention, for my trip to Charleston. I got 36mpg average on the way down. For the whole tank it was 32mpg. I went down, drove around a bit, and drove all the way back up to Rock Hill on 1 tank. I could have drove all the way home, but I would of been digging into the reserve and the gas is much cheaper in Rock Hill!

I watched the first half and then left to head back to charlotte from Durham. I could tell the game was over because after I went through Salisbury there were strings of cars with HIDs on the northbound side. They just kept coming and coming. Most of them probably heading home from the panthers game I assume.

No I didn't, but I would love to. Someone is going to do it eventually I bet.

So I chipped away at the sound deadening a little more today and DAMN is that shit a bitch to come out. It looks like dirt that stuck to the metal. Whenever I get done with it and it's all painted I'm going to be really proud of it so expect me to open my rear doors and show you. Can't decide if I want to spray paint it or have it done with legit paint.

I wonder how much it would be to have the interior painted white. Maybe Jeremy will let me do it at his house in his garage or something.

Went back to my spot at RDU. Here you can see the roof rack, roof diffuser, and navigation housing all MIA.

Why have you decided to chip out the sound deadening? You going to finally replace your 3 bad O2 sensors as well so your are not killing your engine?

I got inspired by that guy with the dark gray tsx with the aqua painted interior. Plus I started realizing how heavy the stuff is. And the part in drivers floorboard is brown because my shoes have eaten through the layer of paint that was on the sound deadening. It looks terrible so ive decided to do this. It will look better, the car will be lighter, and I will be moar content.

As for the o2 sensors, I will have to get pulled over before I have those changed out.

I was getting tired of all the shit protruding off the roof lol. I was gonna try and put a shark fin on it instead of the little dome but I might just leave it completely empty.

Just covered up with work man. Car needs a boatload of maintenance, none of my plans for it have shaped up like they needed to, J's car is still broken down. I've just been too busy.

Been thinking about selling my car tbh.

Just took a quick trip to youtube and the issue has been resolved! God I love youtube. Also, I was able to get the menu screen working as well. The erase image button was depressed because of sand stuck in it and I kept messing with it. So boom! No need to immediately upgrade.

i think your giving yourself a hint to make a video on how to remove floorboard crud, the only hard part is keeping it language appropriate.

I know dry ice was mentioned before and i know the smell would be horrendous but what about taking a torch to it then use a putty knife to scrape it off. ive never removed the stuff so i duno, just a suggestion

I should do a video of it. It will be neat to see the before and after. Right now it looks disgusting and once its done and painted will be night and day.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo..... I got my wheels today

They are going to be touched up next week. 2 of them have some curb rash and minor scratches. Hardly noticeable.... but I am a perfectionist when it comes to expensive stuff. LOL

I will post pictures tomorrow. I am headed to bed. 9 hours of driving today. Ugh.

You should drive around on them for a while and then get them touched up after a few months.

Oh and over the weekend I met a guy at the gym that recently bought a 07 nbp TL. His name is Alex. And then I saw a nbp type S at Red Robin with wheels on it tonight.
