San Bernardino monthly meet and drive 2007 thread.
look likes u guys had a fun time. 
sorry i couldn't make it... i've been SO out of it lately 'cuz of the home renovation. the light is at the end of the tunnel though... <knocks on wood>
that said, i finally bought my first mod... except it's for the beamer- not the 8. picked up a pair of chrome exhaust tips that fit right over the oem's. but, sadly i have had zero time to install them. so, they're still in the box. <sobs>
couple more weeks and hopefully i'll be getting my sanity back.

You say that like there is a point to doing that to any car?
AWD, FWD or RWD doesn't really matter, it's still a donut you can't eat.
It's is fun to do that and about 20mins later a park ranger shows up asking if anyone was burning thier tires or something.
not us,Sir.

So I learned something on this cruise ;
Never let ANYBODY remove your wheels. And if somebody does remove you wheels . . make sure you check your lug nuts before you drive it.
We were gonna trade my curbed/dinged wheels for clean stock wheels, and trade all the dinged up ones for a custom set for stephs dads RX8. Deal never went through, so I got my stock wheels back.
I found out AFTER our little drive that my lugs were all just finger tight and one of them was missing. I sure hope it didnt do any damage.

Glad to know that it wasn't me, and that they were able to diagnose your noise.....before anything bad really happened. Imagine a wheel popping off during a cruise...not a good thing.
I'm bummed because I can only see the pics that loren posted. I hate my browser here at work....the recent changes (this year) have taken most of my fun at work away.
PATS update.....we beat the BOYS (cowboys) and are now one step closer to a perfect season. Any Colt fans in here?

Holy Song list Batman...that Guitar Hero 3 list is getting long. I wonder how many of those will be in the game that we actually pick up on the 28th versus how many will be available as download$.

some of you may remember i said my car needed at alignment prior to our crusie because it was pulling, well on my way into work it was flat (i wish TPMS worked with Volks). I was unabel to bump it up or change the tire so i babied it to the tire place where they found no evidance of a puncture. so they resealed it :O with some goo and sent me on my way? i will wash my car tonight to make sure everythign is fine and dandy.

i like that audi skin better then the previous keith, i was on last night as were 4 other rotar heads but i guess we were in the mood for other stuff. maybe tonight
My trusty Co-pilot did a pretty good job with the pictures. I like the pic of your car going up over the hill with the clouds in the background.
I got pulled over. The cop just wanted to be a . . . . . not nice person.
He said I came to a stop on the freeway, which I didn't. But he just wanted to give me a hard time because I was in a group of nice cars. I guess they have been having problems with car clubs recently.
Best part . . he didn't know what kind of car it was!!!!!

Don't know how much time I'll have for Forza as of the next couple weeks. I have two rentals right now and I bought a new one...so, three new games right now. This will give you guys a chance to polish up those racing skills, and for mine to get a bit rusty. Should even the playing field out a bit
I kid, I kid.....I have some new graphics and tunes to share.Cesar, Eternal Sonata is not improving much. I'll give it one more chance to win me over....but still have problems with games that are 80% cinematics and 15% game play. (I know, I know, 80 plus 15 is only 95%....what about the other 5? Well, that leaves 5% for crap).
ouch, got my insurance renewal this week... looks like i lost my good driver discount from the fender bender... extra $400/ per year and on myinsurance record for 3 years. OUCH! well, i went ahead and max'd out my liability coverage as well... too many unscrupulous ambulance-chasing ppl in our society nowadays...

I never understood insurance....We are forced to have it, are scared and relunctant to use it...because if we do, we are rewarded with higher payments for the next 4 years to help pay back the costs of the repairs we needed. Why not just do what most illegals do...just don't carry insurance and just deal with the fender benders......
I haven't once used my insurance since I've been a driver. This is now 14 years. I've been hit several times, and in all cases, people wanted to deal in cash and avoid the insurance companies.
...why do I carry insurance again?
(home insurance, I understand and have already used....the flood that we returned to upon coming back from China).
