View Full Version : Dallas: Meet FRIDAY Mar 20, 7:30pm
Creto 03-16-2009, 05:05 PM Back by my own demand (and warmer weather), we'll be meeting on FRIDAY this week at Los Lupes in Addison. There's good specials on drinks and the short order taco grill is great.
They are located on Belt Line between Marsh and Midway on the north side of the road, a bit west across the street from IHOP (can use their blue roof as a guide).
Here's a map link (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3855+Beltline+Road+Addison,+TX+75001&sll=27.44979,-85.78125&sspn=58.543294,79.101563&ie=UTF8&ll=32.953724,-96.849949&spn=0.003498,0.004828&t=h&z=18) of their location.
3855 Beltline Road
Addison, TX 75001
Their parking lot is likely to be full, and if it is, there is additional parking to the east (behind Al Amir - view the map link). That is where most of us ended up parking last time.
1. Brandon (late, like 9-9:15)

Creto 03-17-2009, 01:19 PM hopefully ill be slammed on my new shocks and springs before i go to this...
well, to be fair, unless they're used, you won't be slammed yet. It'll be a little lower than stock, but give em two weeks to settle in and then get your alignment.
frangmi 03-17-2009, 02:48 PM I'm in.
WTBRotary! 03-17-2009, 03:08 PM my springs are used...

Who delivers on Sunday???
WTBRotary! 03-17-2009, 05:55 PM exactly... i need them here before spring break ends so i can install them... yikes...
Riley Craven 03-17-2009, 06:14 PM I've confirmed with my wife that we will be coming on friday... apparently all I had to say was Mexican Food and she was quick to want to change plans with her family....
Creto 03-17-2009, 06:41 PM haha, nice thomas.
Neckhole 03-17-2009, 09:05 PM We'll definitely be there, but I may or may not have my RX-8 by then :(
Riley Craven 03-17-2009, 09:36 PM We'll definitely be there, but I may or may not have my RX-8 by then :(
Dude... I have to ask, where the heck did you get your name from????
Creto 03-18-2009, 07:59 AM We'll definitely be there, but I may or may not have my RX-8 by then :(
Why not? Thought you said you bought it on the 16th?
Neckhole 03-18-2009, 08:49 AM Dude... I have to ask, where the heck did you get your name from????
From gaming a long time ago, I used to tell people that I was going to cut their heads off and have inappropriate relations with their neckholes. The name just kinda stuck.
Neckhole 03-18-2009, 08:54 AM Why not? Thought you said you bought it on the 16th?
I found a dealer with a car that met all my specifications, but had god-awful wheels. I made an offer on the car that they rejected and we walked off the lot. They called and said they happened to have an '08 RX8 in stock and wanted to know if I was interested if the swapped the wheels out.
I signed all the paperwork and was supposed to pick it up yesterday, but it turns out the wheels are 16" from an automatic and won't fit. I told the dealer to knock $1600 off the price and I'd take the car and find my own wheels, but they weren't too keen on that. They offered to sell me some new wheels for $600, but I didn't like what they were describing. Supposedly right now they're calling past RX8 owners to see if they'd be willing to buy new wheels with the purpose of buying their old stock wheels and put them on "my" RX8.
I don't think that deal will go through, so I'll get back to shopping and make an offer on one of the other RX8s I was looking at. But I'd be surprised if I have a car before the meet Friday.

That stinks. Well, 8 or no 8, you're welcome to join us.
Neckhole 03-18-2009, 10:43 AM It's just the process you have to subject yourself to if you want to find the best car possible for the least amount of dollars. I'm not too worried, but I am going to be disappointed if I can't bring a car to show off ;)
RingofStone 03-18-2009, 10:35 PM Hi all,
I'm no longer a Rotary virgin. I've had my RX-8 for about 2 weeks now. '05 with 61k miles on her.
I will try to make it out to the meet.

Welcome!! The Nordic Greens are slowly taking over!!! Now, if I can just convince Angie to come over to the dark side and get a NG 8!! :)
WTBRotary! 03-18-2009, 11:12 PM Boo!!! Wwp ftw!!!
JoeHawk 03-18-2009, 11:13 PM Boo!!! Wwp ftw!!!
Ah now, you know you want one!!
Riley Craven 03-18-2009, 11:14 PM Ah now, you know you want one!!
Personally I want TI grey... thats where all the action's at...
Creto 03-18-2009, 11:52 PM If AggieTiff would join us, that'd be another NG.
docmombo 03-19-2009, 12:21 AM cant make it, ill be in houston, tx2k9 baby!
thejew89 03-19-2009, 01:12 AM Personally I want TI grey... thats where all the action's at...
ain't that the truth lol
xsnipersgox 03-19-2009, 01:31 AM i'll see what plan i have =)
RingofStone 03-19-2009, 07:08 AM Almost got a TI, but the only one I found in my price range was an automatic... and that's just wrong.
GODFATHER 03-19-2009, 08:11 AM ha ha so true
Neckhole 03-19-2009, 09:04 AM I'll be there, and with an RX-8. I wound up telling that dealer "Thanks, but no thanks" and buying an '04 RX-8 with about 60k miles on it for $3k cheaper than I would have spent at the dealership.
This guy needs to get to the garage, there's something funky about the brakes or steering but nothing serious. It's certainly road-worthy and I'll bring to the meet, just pardon any brief grinding or other embarrassing noises she might make.
She goes to the garage on Saturday so that she's all fixed up and pretty for me when I get back into town from business.
JoeHawk 03-19-2009, 09:22 AM ain't that the truth lol
Y'all poor misguided souls.... Concrete gray vs. Sleek & sexy Nordic green... Y'all are just Nordic green with envy!!

Riley Craven 03-19-2009, 09:46 AM Y'all poor misguided souls.... Concrete gray vs. Sleek & sexy Nordic green... Y'all are just Nordic green with envy!!
Personally, I think its the other way around.. the car is nordic green with envy cuse it aint TI Grey :P

agcutie03 03-19-2009, 12:07 PM Oooh, I feel stupid now, I looked at it for about five minutes and came up with "Live Fast Or GTFO the Way"...hmm...eh, mine fits too. Kinda. Not so much for the auto but for the 8 in general. ;)

Riley Craven 03-19-2009, 04:47 PM o and Craven? Dont you have a Sunlight Silver???
Says the man that had 3 engines in a month.... Mine might be silver, but its still mine... aka Lucky
Now see you weren't even on my dissen radar till you said something....
WTBRotary! 03-19-2009, 04:52 PM Once again i fail to realize how the faulty remanufactured engines was my fault... id drive them 50 miles and the check engine light would pop up with me leaking oil...
Riley Craven 03-19-2009, 06:20 PM Once again i fail to realize how the faulty remanufactured engines was my fault... id drive them 50 miles and the check engine light would pop up with me leaking oil...
No body said anything about it being your fault... was just pointing out that the curse you mentioned can affect any color car... not just silvers... point being you've had more trouble with yours than I've had with mine..... to date...
WTBRotary! 03-19-2009, 07:46 PM Lol it only takes one time to total your car :)))
GODFATHER 03-20-2009, 08:46 AM thats a pretty shitty re-direct...
Riley Craven 03-20-2009, 08:47 AM balls
Creto 03-20-2009, 08:59 AM Lindsay and I got some crap sprung on us that we have to be at at 8:15. On the upside, it's only about 40 minutes long, so we'll be over at Los Lupes a bit late (around 9-9:15 is my guess).
Gee... that's almost normal arrival time for Angela.
frangmi 03-20-2009, 09:23 AM I have to bail. You guys have fun.
GODFATHER 03-20-2009, 09:52 AM balls

Dude... I think you actually have to show up before you're allowed to pick a restaurant! :) Sushi?? Really?? :eyetwitch
Creto 03-21-2009, 01:09 AM Dude... I think you actually have to show up before you're allowed to pick a restaurant! :) Sushi?? Really?? :eyetwitch
I was going to say the same thing about showing up.
Although, I am all for sushi (so is Linds)
RingofStone 03-21-2009, 07:33 AM It was great meeting everyone. I look forward to stealing mod ideas from all of you. ;-)
BigRed 03-21-2009, 09:06 AM Dude... I think you actually have to show up before you're allowed to pick a restaurant! :) Sushi?? Really?? :eyetwitch
If it's sushi, there's more incentive for me to show up :) Errr...yea, I'll start trying to show up. It's going to be harder now that I have tennis... If I don't ever have much homework for a Friday I'll definitely show up...
Neckhole 03-21-2009, 09:51 AM we had a really fun time, it was great meeting all of you guys
Riley Craven 03-21-2009, 10:16 AM If I don't ever have much homework for a Friday I'll definitely show up...
Dude, I went to a gifted school in highschool that I had to live on campus, and even most of us took Friday's off.
If your doing hw on a Friday then either your doing something wrong... or you have way too much on your plate.

Doing homework FOR fridays, not on Fridays. Anyways, not that I don't like hanging out with you guys, but there are people "more around my age" that I hang out with on Fridays :) . Since the meets are usually on Thursdays, that's what I was referring to!
WTBRotary! 03-22-2009, 10:24 PM Alright just wanted to thank Nick, the Brians and everyone else who helped on my spring install... i appreciate it a ton and im going to get a alignment soon... thanks guys and ill get my shock problem solved soon...
Thanks... :)
