Passed pretty much every example of a vette 50's - 14 groups of 5-15ish on the rest of my trip to Austin so I guess there is something going on at COTA today

I would if I had time too. :x

Been so busy with everything that I don't think I can spare 4 hours unless I were to get a rental. :x

Which is why I'm thinking of bringing it to someone like a dealership to do it for me so I can get a rental while they do it.

hey guys, recently bought a 07 TL and just starting buy performance parts. I'm a little new to the car scene, I used to drive a 4x4 and the TL's engine is way more compact. So I'm looking to meet up, chat, drink, bbq, etc. let me know!

Sounds good I'm on my second one & have had almost every bolt on performance part & have always installed everything myself. ..lmk I've probably done it or know what it requires. ..

"SOME" of these guys like to meet up... lol...

Hey San Antonio A-ziner's. I know I've been out for a while but I've had good reason. See back on August 8 I had a slight encounter with a curb. Curb won! You know the feeling when your hydroplaning and can't do shit about it! Well here some pics of what happens when your 3858 lb TLs Vossen slams into a curb. Over a month later and it's still in the shop, just waiting on a tire now, which should be in tomorrow.
I have to say, I still rolled about 15 ft on that wheel's one remaining spoke, damn good wheel.
I should be back out and about next week!

The initial estimate was only to replace the wheel and tire, and repair/paint the front bumper. However ended up having to replace the entire sub-frame or engine cradle to get it to align properly. Still waiting for the tire.
