Dallas post # 601

ok, that's 601 posts, only 19 (as of now) to be even with the sacremento......

i'll leave that for you guys tomorrow......

GOD, i love a countdown....

DuckBlue

i guess i'll have to help you out, upping the count

i'll be up for another meet, and yeah, it'd be better if it was after may10, when my semester of hell is over.. lately, i've been going to extra class sessions saturday morning cuz our teacher is so stupid, and our class is waaaay behind. he comes to class unprepared, takes 10minutes doing a sample problem, and later finds out he messed up somewhere, so he re-does it again, and you wonder why we're behind... btw, he works at TI full time, and teaching is only a side thing.. (not that i'm knocking on TI people.. i sorta hope to work there someday)



anyways, i live close to 75&635.. belt line in fact and so does casper
just let me know where's the meet...


whohoo, new page.. i get to pop in another sig again

danny25

I kinda feel bad, I went over to the Sacramento board (just for a little look) and all their posts are actually about the CL! Kinda seems like we're cheating...oh well.

CasperTL

well, if you really wanna talk about the CL........

i like CL's....


there, now we're talking about CL's too

mantis23

Yeah, I get the same message. You're not alone.

Hey, did one of you guys call me last night? Jeff, was that you? Dude, I was fucked up(and still am). The music was too loud where I was.

Anyway, did you ask me something about Ennis? Please refresh my memory as I'm a bit dull this morning.

danny25

Am I in line for the new tranny club?

This morning I was just cruising in 4th at about 40, and ~1600rpm when my car kinda shudders and jerks for a second. It was too fast for me to check to see if anything happened to the revs, but it sure didn't feel right. I think this has happened before too, but I wasn't paying enough attention at that time to be sure, but now I'm sure I didn't cause the shudder.

I know I'd probably get more response in the car talk forum, but I'll start here.

Hanzie

yeah mantis it was me that called. Hehe, you were pretty fucked up. Anyway, i was calling to see if you knew if ennis was holding street night every friday night from now on?

I never checked their website, oh well

mantis23

Danny, it doesn't sound good dude. That's kinda how my car was acting before I took it in.

Jeff, they normally have it every weekend. But if something special is going on, then they won't have it.

Here is the schedule in case ya need it.

Hanzie

thanks man, well thought i would tell everyone that i got a tattoo last night, hehe, damn it hurt

mantis23

Sweet, what did you get? I got mine as soon as I turned 18.

Hanzie

i got the chinese symbol for my birth year on the Chinese Zodiac which is the MONKEY!!!:wackit:

typeS_CLark

hey danny
where in what part of arlington r u from? i'm in the south east area and i cruise up and down 360 an i20 frequently. maybe we've crossed paths???

danny25

We probably have. I live in the same area, a couple streets N of I-20, and a few miles west of 360.

CasperTL

Hey Hanzie, you wouldn't happen to know anyone that could write a few things in Chinese script for me. I've wanted a tat for a while and I know what I want, but need someone who can actually write in Chinese to "draw it up" for me.


CasperTL

CasperTL

Gee Mantis, closing in on 1000. I remember when I was closing in on a special number......... do I smell a countdown to the big 1K...? hehe


Post # 990....

Post # 991....


i'm waiting to see this...... hehehe

mantis23

Hanzie

Casper, no i dont really know anyone that can write chinese,heh, usually though, the place you go to get your tattoo will either have a book that has all the symbols etc.

CasperTL

eh... i've looked, and no one really does, surprisingly. At first I wanted a small drawing of a turtle, and I could see the design in my head, but could never draw or describe it so that anyone could understand. So I thought I would have "Green Turtle" written in Chinese between my shoulder blades, but no one has that. I figured that was simple enough, but I guess not.

BTW. the reason I want "Green Turtle" is because my favorite color is green, and my favorite animal is the turtle. Just so yall didn't look at me too crazy like.

danny25

Thank goodness your favorite color isn't red, that would just be a weird looking turtle.

CasperTL

hahaha, i actually love the irony. my favorite color is not green because of turtles, and my favorite animal is not the turtle because of the color green....... just luck i guess..... or whatever you call it

BTW our post count is still beneath the sacremento thread, but our view total is higher.......

danny25

Yeah, I noticed that too. The views have been higher for a while, and after this post we'll only be behind on posts by 11.

CasperTL

well here's a wasted post hopefully down to 10

mantis23

I can see green, but why the turtle? Why not a llama, or penguin, or baby cow or somethin'?

CasperTL

there's only two explinations i could ever come up with to explain that.......

1) a few of my friends that i've known for forever call me that as a nickname. they say i look like one...... whatever.

2) i love the sea and the ocean and all the life below. the sea turtle just always seemed to be my favorite. i got a scuba liscence just so that i could actually spend time in their environment. that and it's freakin trippy to hang upside down and not get a head rush. playing guitar on a fin upside down sounds wierd, but it's funnier than shit below the water.....

danny25

Hey I was just reading this post over in the car talk area...
http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...407#post756407
You can regester to drive Bimmers to raise money for cancer research. I called the number Shawn posted and got registered for one at Moritz BMW on Collins and i-30 on April 26. If you all want to do this at your local Bmw dealership I suggest you call soon. The Moritz dealership was all booked but they take walk-ons so I'm gonna try it.

Hey TypeS_Clark, since you live close by, want to give it a try Fri.?

danny25

Alright Mantis, it's almost May. When are you getting your wheels, and when are we getting pics?

BTW, I got finally got 23 on the mini-putt game too. But I know I can do better...

mantis23

Heh, I got a 22 today on the golf game. I e-mailed my customer service rep today... here is the reply I received.

Hey Aaron.
Sorry haven't heard anything yet. Typically in these situations there will be no notification as to schedules on special orders from Japan. This sucks really because I'd like to keep my customers informed. Even Dazz the importer will have zilch for information, they just fax the order to Japan and wait. We tell people 60-90 days just from our experience and what Dazz tells us. I know you're frustrated but hopefully good news will arrive shortly.

The pic/link you sent to me before...looks like 18's and i don't think it was lowered so although it looked cool your setup will be totally bling'n...no comparison.

Feel free to chime in and I'll keep you posted the first I get any info.

Thanks,
Jim

((The link he is referring to is Shawn S's Blue CL-S)) Dude, I'm dying. They received my payment on February 21st, and still no bling bling. :'(

danny25

That sucks! They've had your money for 2 months?!? That's some bad service . I ordered some shoes the other day and was pissed off it took 5 days. I hope for your sake they come soon, I'd be going crazy if my order took over 2 months.

I almost got a 21 on mini-putt, but I screwed up the windmill hole with a 3 and the last hole with a 3 and got 25. I usually get a 1 on both those holes. But I know...didn't happen, so it doesn't count.

danny25

I got back from that BMW Ultimate Drive thing a few hours ago. That was a good way to spend 3 hours . I drove 7 cars: 330ci, 330ci vert, 330xi, 530i stick :wackit:, the new 745, an X5 4.4, and a Z3 2.5 stick. Now I know what all those car mags are always taking about, that I-6 growl is music. And it's so nice to feel the rear gently sliding in behind you when you take a corner aggresively.

I'd forgotten how much faster sticks are, or atleast how much faster they seem to be. I had no idea the Z3 was "only" the 2.5L until I got out and looked at the back. And the 530 was sweet with the 5spd, it had power almost everywhere in the rev range.

The steptronic system, or whatever they call their sport shift, is pretty much like ours with regards to the speed of the shift. But it likes to shift for you way too much. If I wasn't really steppin on it, it would up shift for me way too soon:shakehd:.

The new 745 is cool, but way too big for me. I did like the new tech though. "I drive" is pretty cool, and not that hard to learn the basics on, like the stereo and climate control. And speaking of the stereo... almost all the cars had the best stock set up I've ever heard.

danny25

I had too many images in the last post to put this...This pretty much sums up my morning and my impression of BMW... :wackit:

CasperTL

Hey danny, sounds like you had fun, kinda wish I had the oppurtunity to do it too.

BTW, we're only 3! posts away from the Sacremento post.....

i said countdown, but DuckBlue stopped me......

CasperTL

OH, and if Austin519 reads this for ANY reason, DuckBlue and I are in Austin.

CasperTL

danny25

Ah, but he can't stop me!
