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)
2. Lindsay (late, like 9-9:15)
3. Scott
4. Jordan
5. Brandon (maybe, commitment fears)
6. Thomas
7. Thomas's wife
8. Steve
9. Neckhole
10. Neckhole's wife
11. Neckhole's friend1
12. Neckhole's friend2
13. Joe

15. RingofStone (trying to make it out)
16. Brian (uncivil) (late)
17. Brian's woman (late)

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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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!
