Mantis = I was drunk at the time
Me = I thought he knew where he was since he was driving a 3,500 pound mean machine with NOS but I guess he wasn't paying attention 'cause they were driving the twisties

been crazy busy lately.. finished undergrad, now working full time- but still taking masters classes in evening
finally got a bit of cash flow
but since i work downtown, and parking is $6 daily (no specials for employees), i've been taking the dart.. been driving the camry around, cuz i'm scared of my window getting smashed while parked at dart
so when's the next get-together?

Also, Mantis and DeeZnuts are talking about cruising down to Motorsport Ranch first weekend in February to hang out at the track during the driving weekend.

My RA-1's got here yesterday. I sure hope they fit on my rims--they look HUGE!!! They are 235/45/17's and they fit on a 7.5" rim so I should be fine but damn, they are BIG!!!

There was a guy at the track one time who hit a tire wall with a viper and it cost him $10,000 for minor damage to the front right. Turns out on the new ones (or maybe it is the old ones?), the hood and fenders are one piece. I think you can see that in one of the picks, if I am not mistaken.
Sorry about the big bill, however. That is too much for road chips.

I have never seen this car, but I know the seller (he is a tech at Subaru of Dallas--recently gave me a ride in his Stage 2 STi a few weeks ago but I knew him before he started working there). He is selling his VR-4 for the very affordable price of $4,500 (I think, anyway). Here is the link (take a look if nothing else just to see the mods!).
