My car is soooo dirty right now. Its like this every time they put that damn sand down. Ugh

They never put it down when they should, its allways after rush hour and all the bridges are all ready frozen. So everyone gets in wrecks and we all have dirty cars for a few weeks, good job.... ugh

you SSM/AM guys are lucky... especially in this weather! everything and I do mean EVERYTHING shows up on NBP!! Full time job keeping that car clean!!

On another note, Trance, don't know if you still shopping around man, but i was just on craigslist and I've seen a few E39 M5's for sale....low miles, decent price...

Not exactly an Exige, but I'm sure you can get pretty creative on an E39!

Well mine was hella dirty last week but most of it did 'blend in' with the car. But honestly I've seen a couple WDPs lately that look probably dirtier than your NBP; I mean it looks like they went mudding and then drove through gravel and salt all on one trip. Half their cars were dark gray/brown.

Hey guys I just bought an 07 TL-S. I am a complete newbie when it comes to aftermarket stuff but I would like to learn. I figured finding some local guys to ask for advice is a good start. If you don't mind I'd like to come to your next meet in DFW area and make some new friends.

The MX is getting the top replaced, and I gotta say...driving anything other than that kinda sux.

Im in a Mazda 3 right now, and although I like the car....it feels like Im driving a 4x4. I can no longer see the underside of semi truck trailers.

Hopefully ill have it back tonite so people at the party can see the new toys!

How about an AZ DFW meet Jan 24, Saturday at my place.
Say noon.

I will have some food (surprise)

BYOB if you want I will have sodas and waters

Also the garage will be available for some light mods.

Directions

If anyone interested would pipe up so I have an approximate headcount, it would be appreciated.
