GT5 review...I am happy to say, and sorry to say the 5 year wait was not worth it and it sounds as though Forza is still a better product is many aspects (I have not played it but see below).

On a side note a rock crasked my window dead center dash level, luckily it is only about a dime size or smaller crack. Didn't do any black friday shopping and spent $234 to fix our heater. Anything planned for the holiday meet? What has everyone els ebeen up to?

 

....sooooooo when's this going down again??

I finally passed the break in period n' my car is feelin' healthier than ever

 

2nd sat of every month...no night time meet planned, waiting for someone to take the bull by the horns.

 

atilla down for a night time gmr run? :]

 

nooooooo! no night time runs for me! lol. W/my vision i'll be planted into the side of the mountain within the first 5 minutes of the cruise

 

just follow my taillights :]

 

I nominate Lesper4.

 

jedi's car is too nice to be behind he must lead now so he doesnt get rock chips lol

 

i don't really care who leads but i definitely wanna take the same route we took the last time we went out...

 

i actually did the sb run 2 weeks ago solo deffinatly funn :] especially now that its chilly, stopping on that lake lol

 

yeah man, i think a winter time run would be dope. Before the end of the year?

 

down, you got my number just hit me up im always down

 

Winter runs would be great but...I rode my bicycle on GMR last week and saw some black ice near Baldy Village, low 40's. Went hiking in Baldy Village 19-18 degrees and icey trails.

Why me? why not hum....kevin or you or ...?

 

because you actually live in the SB area and you're one of the remaining "original" people left from this group.

Thanks for volunteering Loren!

 

am not getting GT5- never really liked it, as i thought Burn Out series were more fun, for a racing game...

was out in Beaumont this past weekend at my uncle's house & went boarding at Mt. High... i miss Idle Wylde... that's a really fun road. maybe in the spring time?

i can't make the SB meet on the 11th, but i'm going to try to go to Mt. High again this sat...

 

so you cant drive out here on Saturday evening around 7 if something happened? I think Keith might even show up.

 

P.S. i know everyone loves the wall calendars but to save time what about a desktop A-Frame calendar (one picture only per month). It would be vertical. See attached for similar version.

 

tell keith that tom brady is in serious need of a haircut! LOL... j/k :P well, in the pm my cousin's son's bday, and then the evening my coldflame's having a bbq at his pad... u guys've prolly seen him around the forum and/ or at sevenstock...

the 626'ers are having a big end of the year meet this sat night at our usual spot- if any of you guys are interested. i don't go every week anymore, but i'm going to try to make it to this one. they arranged for some sushi or taco truck to come by or something...

calendar sounds good to me

 

^^^ make sure no one wearing jeans rubs up against your car again.

 

^ i know! that really sucked. i hate to be the one to bash teenagers, but they always do stupid sh* like that...

i need a space ship "shield" for my car, like in star wars...

speaking of which, how are you liking FU2 Jorge? i played through the first 2 levels and it's pretty good so far. i like the new camera angles and the cinematics.

 

So how was the meet Gerry?

So I am looking to get a "Good" base desktop for my wife. My daugheter will be doing some gaming on it but not much. I have been looking at HP around $600 but I was wondering if I want to a not so name brand could I get the same for less and still be reliable? (I am not really in teh mood to biuld it)

loren: newegg.com or even check out Costco. They have great prices every now on then on HP's

 

Keith: your offensive line is ridiculous.
that is all...

 

The meet was... a bit shocking. It was like -all- the import cars of San Gabriel showed up for it... <lol> I had no idea the 626 guys went through so much effort... There was a sushi truck, and parking was, a nightmare...

I ended up just staying for about 45 min, said hi to my friends, and then took off. I had to wake up at 7am to go riding in Azusa and GMR the next day, so I needed some shut eye...

 

where's cesar when u needs him?

i think a dell dimension or equivalent ought to work? i haven't bought a PC since 2001, and now that I've moved most of my gaming to the PS3 i don't plan on replacing my dell...
