Well I will be out of town in Chicago the 7-10th of May, but after that I will be home. Also I have one of those fancy Seibon TS Dry carbon fiber hoods that is suppose to get here later today. I am so excited for it. They are crazy expensive, but I got a wicked deal on it. We just need to figure out where would be the most central location for everyone and what would be the best time (idk about anyone else but I work like 40 hours).

Actually I am a full time college student (15 hours) as well. I only work those hours to buy nice things and make bank even if it is only min (7.75 p/h) I say not to bad for a 20 year old lol. Anyways Sundays are good I just need two weeks notice to have one off since I work weekends. I will say I won't be able to meet up until June since I will be on vacation this week, which takes up a Sunday off.

I saw a clean black RX-8 with vanity plate "HOWWL" spotted on 270E getting off @ N Florissant. Unfortunately I was in a rental. :( Nice ride! :wavey:

Sorry it took from April 16th to see this, but that was me; sounds like I was on my way to work at Dobbs up on Lindbergh. Thanks for the compliment!

I won't be spotted for a week or so. Got decommissioned by a nice chunk of concrete dropped in the middle of the road on 64/40 by some Semi. The 8 is currently at the body shop getting a new front air dam and new rear bumper cover.

Also, anyone know some who could lay down a bead weld? Body shop pointed out that my dual exhaust pipe is cracked at the point where the pipe splits off to the two mufflers. Just need a little patch laid down.

Suggestions in the STL area?
