I hope they find a more northern permanent place though. The Music Factory was an awesome location for those south and north of Charlotte.

^Yeah, we'll see. I'm sure it's not the easiest job to find someone who meets all the requirements + willing to accept the liability + works geographically, etc... The biggest problem the closer you get to downtown is that there is less and less space for that many people.

I know they've 2-3 places in their final stages of negotiation, although I have no idea what they are. Only time will tell.

I do too, but any time something is prime real-estate you can bet your paycheck they'll do a big corporate deal and sell it out. Hell, I'd do the same thing if I stood to make several million dollars.

Hey all,

Anybody want or know of anybody that wants a Progress RSB for a 3G TL? Not looking to sell, just looking to pay it forward. I have one along with some never-installed MOOG endlinks. The only thing you would need is the bracket hardware. PM me if interested.

I was the passenger when he drove it to Cars and Coffee

Seriously though, feel in love with the car! I can't even look at a regular GS350 knowing THIS is out there! You HAVE to see it and drive it to understand what Lexus was trying to create. Actually you guys could probably do that without even seeing it or driving it :rolf: forgot I'm talking to car guys. It was funny because a bunch of younger CRX/Del Sol/Type-R teenagers saw the car and started to giggle and point when Tyler revved it a few times and I almost wanted to slap them for the insult but realized quickly "they're clueless and young and dumb and stupid"

Just got back from autozone and installed a new k&n. The spectre filter I had on there before had rust on the wire mesh.

Apparently the 1966 GT40 is the LeMans winning car and they bought it and are doing a full restoration on it. It will debut at Pebble Beach next year.

The next time you guys need something from advance auto, go to their website and order it before you pick it up. Use one of their promotional codes. (just search for it) Just ordered an o2 sensor and it brought it down from $94 to $64. I'm all hyped up about it right now.

I'm new to AZ, and I am looking for help finding a place in the Charlotte area to install my Tein S-Tech springs for less than $400 which is what all the places I called are charging. Is that the going rate or are they overpriced? I know a DIY is the cheapest but I don't have the tools or confidence for that. This will be my first mod. Thanks in advance for the help!
