When are some good local car shows/meets? Any coming up? Id love to come out and meet some of the locals.
Ive been itching to get back into the car game for sometime, but I am/have been so wrapped up in building my jet skis that I just havent had time to care about cars.
Ive had my TL-S for 3 years yesterday....and its completely stock with some OEM add ons lol. What a sad life I am living!

So I visited Acura today to drop a used TL off for a radio code and when I left I drove around the building and saw a brand new GT3 RS...needless to say I came in my pants but was in a rush and couldnt stop for pictures It was grey in color, black wheels, big rs wang, and beige seats. I was in love
So far I've got this as my list lol..
Palmetto state armory lower,
Radical firearms quad rail 10.5 upper
Mag pul MOE grip
Mag pul extended trigger guard
Mag pul afg
Noveske raptor ambi charging handle
Phase 5 Extended bolt release
Still need to figure out optics and BCG but I'm trying to keep the budget on the cheap side. Any suggestions or comments about anything I've listed are welcome.
Ive been obsessed with this guys build since I've seen it but i think I'm gunna switch the magpul tan color for their gray and thats a 7 inch barrel with a nine inch hand guard.. Idk i need to keep researching the 7.5 vs the 10.5 before i make the decision

Yeah they're running a sweet deal on a complete pistol lower with buffer tube for $119. I was going to try to pick up one of their 10.5 uppers also but almost all of their upper assembly's are out of stock so they must be pretty damn good

The Spoon mirrors look great on an NSX but not really feeling them on the S2K.
Oh and Eric soon your car is going to challenge my record for the most time not driven

I was working over the weekend winterizing irrigation systems while I was in Mooresville and a guy whose house I was at had a clean 95 e36 that was amazing. Seats, Cage, Turbo & the whole 9 yards, he had about 4 sets of wheels in his garage so i started talking to him about it and it's his track car and he said his brother has a track ready tsx and that they take them up to VIR and all the tracks. He started it up for me and man that thing sounded great.
Oh and Evan I bought my upper today. Wanted to go ahead and buy the PSA completed lower but it was out of stock due to the black friday sale but I'm thinking about just buying a stripped lower and lower parts kit because my upper comes with a buffer and grip. Any recommendations for lower and parts? or do you think I should stick to Palmetto State and just buy one of their stripped lowers? AR's are fairly new to me so any suggestions from that standpoint would be great.. I know theres a gun enthusiast thread but there doesn't seem to be much traffic over there.

The record I was referring too was the one while the TSX took 2 years to rebuild and upgrade. Its never been more than 2 weeks that it sits without at least a 20min drive on a weekend.

Since regular cars and coffee currently has not found a new location anyone want to hit up the cars and coffee at Waterbean Coffee in Cornelius this Saturday. It would be good to have another get together before the holidays.

Yes it is looking to be a nice weekend at least Friday and Saturday. Rain possible on Sunday.
Finally washed the Vagon this weekend since it appears we should have a week of sun.

I won't be attending
I injured my lower back yesterday morning and I'm bed ridden. Someone from the dealership should be bringing a 2013 Boxster S that we have. Have fun fellas and take pictures!

That sucks man. That should have happened when you hit 30 but you're a little ahead of the game with lots of things.
It happened about 4 years ago as well, but I was being dumb then and tried to pick up something heavy. This past Thursday I was just drying off after a shower, my lower back tweaked, and I fell on the ground like a Life Alert ad
Getting old isn't what it's cracked up to be.
