I heard there are going to be some crazy TV deals this year. Something about 50" LED 1080p for $250 somewhere?

Currently in the middle of a custom order request from a repeat customer. He is inquiring about a mansion that he wants designed and built to arrive before Christmas for his son. Not sure what to charge but probably $800.

I think he is negotiating with his wife on the quote I gave him. He said his budget was $250-300. It's a few hundred short of what I will take to make it look awesome. We will see what he says.

Gotta Pay to play. Lego's are not a joke!
I thought about digging my old sets out... then I realized I would be so distracted not a single thing would get done. Ever.

So you would become like me. Nothing ever gets done around here haha. Sort of, but not really. But yeah,...cars like a TL or TLX are really hard to build out of lego.

Hey guys
Anyone doing any kind of shopping for black friday? I've seen the posts about a TV deal but dang that'll require you to sit in line for a couple of days!
Tyler.....that sound bar is calling your name lol actually I'll sell you mine cuz I already want a bigger and better one!
With my wedding and honeymoon and birthday and black friday and christmas, my money is spent but I always feel like I miss out if I dont buy anything haha
NOW, if anyone can find a new macbook pro for cheap during black friday I might make that purchase!

Last year I bought a bunch of stuff from Sears for racing (tools, tool chests, etc) at like 1am on Black Friday and chose the pick up from store option (so no shipping fees)... then just went to Sears and picked it all up on some random day at some random time in the middle of December. No traffic, no lines, no crazy shopping people... walked right in, picked it up, and left...

I'm gonna buy a few little things for the TL and Daily It. Then I am gonna start the Stock Pile of parts for spring for the project car.
Parents gave me a very sad ultimatum the other night.
"Stephen we are looking for a newer car and are planning. Based on the current car situation some changes will need to be made. Something needs to happen with your Taurus SHO. Its either running and driving, or off to scrap. You have until June 1st."
Running and Driving will happen, Turbo might be a topic on the table. We will see.
400whp Ford Taurus.... Sounds Crazy, making it happen will be insane.

Went to Victory Lane Go Karting with the guys from work.
I had the 2nd fastest time, but won the most races. I had a 47.688 Time. Fastest was about 46.7xx.
Was a good time. I improved quite a bit over the night. I need to do some real racing and get some more experience under my skin.
Anyone going to StreetWise Drift tomorrow? Last event of the season. Metrolina Expo. $10 to get in from 10am-6pm.
I'll be there.

It's a nice feeling when people you know just walk up and say "Dude your car looks absolutely awesome!" or "I love your car man, where did you get the wheels?"
Its a nice kind of feeling.
Whats everyone been up to this weekend? The thread seems kind of quiet.
Anyone going to the Auto Show Uptown tomorrow? My dad and I might go.

Went to the Auto Show today here in Charlotte...
Cars on my list to buy that peaked my interest:
-VW GTI
-Audi A5/S5
-Lexus IS or RC 350
-BMW 4 Series
-Kia K900
-Huyandi Equis
I was actually disappointed with the TLX.
It felt cheaply made. Looks good, but I am concerned with time.
Tap on the dash board, it moves, pull on the door panel, it moves, buttons are a soft plastic and there are too many lines to add an artificial Elegance.
The guy I spoke to was not very knowledgeable in the car. He didn't know what an A-spec Kit was.
The Kicker... When I opened the back door, the weather seal came off. Not sure if manufacturing flaw or coincidental. Still didn't bode well.
That S5 is growing on me though...

I like Black Friday shopping I usual go for thing people not fighting after like movies or tv shows, memory cards, usually just the odds things. That are 40% off. I might go buy a ps4 this year if they have anymore bundles. Not gonna sweat if they don't.
Does anybody have the stock front suspension to there tl? I need to take a picture of the top hats compared to mines. I believe they sent me the wrong top hat for my air suspension. I can comp for some lunch if your driving far once I'm in Charlotte.

Tyler,
Go sit in the Equis. Its got alot of nice surprises that make its level of elegance almost incomparable to anything available.
That S5 is glorious. An A5 Pulled up next to me in traffic, 2013/2014 I think, ugly factory wheels on it, but the car is just gorgeous. This one was silver. Do not care for silver.
