Wow Jedi! I was about to post my pics but I see you've got it covered. Mine didn't come out nearly as well. Good Job, and thank-you!

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.

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.
Wow, I'm glad to read this.....cause I was telling Erica and Cesar that I may have been the last one to remove/install your wheels when we did your suspension....me saying to them, "but I torqued all the wheels down to 105 pounds".

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$.

Presenting my second custom paint job...on the Audi RS4

If any of us had any brains at that point, what we should have said, was "yeah, there was this guy in a silver Subaru that came up and was trying to show off....he went that way sir."

We should post all our meet pics on Forza2 forum.
Obviously Kieth's browser has no problems on that site.
Nice paint job BTW.

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.

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).

...400 dollars times 3 (1200 dollars.....is that how much the damage was to your Beemer.....you also paid your deductible...)

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).
