I have an entire pork tenderloin marinating and it is headed to the Weber in 90 minutes for a slow-cook over hardwood coals.

First World Problem:

Tomorrow I am flying the following route:

SMF --> SLC --> ATL --> XNA

There is only one remaining seat in First Class on the Atlanta flight (the long one) and there are more than 30 people on the wait list. I am in the first spot, but that last seat could go away before tomorrow.

I may have to fly in coach!!!

Your thoughts and prayers are welcome.

As always, rep freely and often.

I am haunted with nightmares to this day. My knee cries out in pain as a reminder to the hell that it was pushed against the side of the plane all the way to LA :icon17:

I do not miss those days. I paid my dues in coach in crappy seats with disgusting people for many years.

That particular event caused me to buy first or business class tickets from then on.

Got the car wired for the GoPro so I can view it on my head unit while its recording. Not the easiest car to pull component wire in lol

Stereo mics inside the rear bumper cover for killer audio to match the 4K 120 :D

Now it should be plug and play when the new Black gets here on weds.



And for the life of me I still can't get the stupid rear view camera to work properly. :mad:

Oh and the 4K Black is going up in the front girl for real birds eye view. Or maybe that's dogs eye view! Session inside for driver shots. If the Session works out may get another to play around with outside, but will see how well this setup works.

Going to use it to shoot a commercial for my watch co.

Hopefully :icon17:

like i said, this thing is a rocket.

Used to have a blast in my A3

Definitely a little pocket rocket. Exhaust and tune and little sucker really hot above its weight class.

I am waiting to see if Chase likes his. Not a bad price for it to be honest. idk if I like the add-on look or not though.

ur sills looks like add-ons so im sure it's fine. i like those sills btw.

forgot pw 08-13-2016 06:05 PM

on my Z and STI i only did the front splitters but my GTI came with those sill moldings for not only front but for the sides and rear. my car is black so looks kinda blended in but i really like those little accents at the bottom of the car. :D

but the whole two step ups from the hatch lid makes it look kinda funky to me, at certain angles.

forgot pw 08-13-2016 06:07 PM

Given the variety of spoilers out there, and many of them that come with that sort of look I'm not too worried about it. But will find out in a few days I guess.

From a design perspective I think even more importantly it will balance the rear out from the side profile and give it a little upward girth. It feels a little too pulled down as it is.
