SEMA. You gotta be psyched up. That's quite an honor. You'll be having a good time.

randall, i know how it feels to be detached from the 8. i'm glad to hear the good news!
Thanks! Im excited!! Its not installed yet. I need to get everything I need ready just so theres no hiccups and it can all be installed at once with no delays. The only issue is I cant get ahold of MM to get a Cobb so I may have to run with the e-manage crap thing just so I can at least get the car home. THen I will have to save and get some dyno time. ***** adding up real quick!

This weekend might be the weekend all the hot rods/classic cars/ rat rods/ and all kinds of badass bikes are in town for the show that's put on byt the dude who own Continental Club, If it is I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who loves cars to check out South Congress Saturday night, as if it's anything like last year it will be the most awesome-est day of the year for cars in this town so far.

edit: ahh **** bitches, it's on!! - http://www.lonestarroundup.com/

there will be good tunes at the roundup too, if you don't mind rockabilly Seriously though, just a cruise down congress is worth it just to see everything, weather permitting I may park and walk around this year, just have to play it by ear I guess.

Dude. You might as well play tiddlywinks. Maybe when I was 20 you could get into clubs, but I'm pretty sure it's not that easy anymore. Maybe your friends know some door guys.

Ugh. Not being 21. Not a good thing in this town. You can still walk around downtown, the warehouse district and 6th street.

holy **** congress was awesome, every year it's just more and more sick rides, nowhere to park and being exhausted=no parking/walking, but at least I got to see a ton of stuff.

I dont mind doing it, Ive always done my own work. I prefer it actually, I was just nervous about doing it, but now I think Ill be ok. I watched the new Fast and Furious the other day and Brian did an entire engine swap to his R34 like it was nothing so I think I can add a turbo kit to the RX8!! lol!
