Damn, I go away for a couple of days and get so far behind!!
Anyways, work was getting stressful and I was getting lazy, so I decided to take a short trip to Key West. Had a blast. Laid out at the beach, went shopping, went fishing. It was fun and relaxing!!
While I was gone, my Acura dealer was working on getting me my new car, this bad-boy:
But, the guy flaked on me. :angry:
Looks like I am back to searching again. Keep y'all's eyes peeled for a 2002-2004 Z06 for me will ya??!!

I am not sure if I will make it out this weekend. I think that I might be going out to Houston to look at a car, and one road trip is enough for me for one weekend.
I will keep y'all posted should things change.

Trust me though, it is not like I have not thought about it!!

And if I were to get a new one, just a regular C6, I would load it with options, so, that base price would be off by about $8k.

Hopefully, next time, I will make it out to one of your gettogether's. Heck, maybe y'all can cruise on down to Austin and have BBQ here at our ranch. Both Chopper and Blades have been down, and I think that they will attest to it being a fun place to chill.

^^ Ya know, the failure rate on CL's versus CL-S's is noticeably lower from reading that hella-long study a few months back. I guess it's cuz of the lower power getting transfered thru the shitty clutch plates and typically less aggressive drivers.

Cool I didnt know that Dan. Well I'm sure I will get rid of the car before I even come close to 100k. I just hit 33k after four years.
So did you get alot of stuff done yesterday?

my "non-aggressive" driving made me have three transmissions hehe
yeah...u need to tell people if u're having that rib eye right now so that we can plan for next sunday ethan. i know i have a soccer game again at 1:30 but i could swing by around 4 or 4:30. keep us posted. i'm finally trying to do a custom front grille. i have it all figured out in my head but i don't know how i'm gonna do it yet. it looks crazy mean without a grille period. just two big holes and the radiator peeking through. maybe i'll just leave it like that.
