sonic meet

Brian, you weren't kidding when you said there was a thousand cars!

:) it's no prob

I'm headed over for NoVA Cars and Coffee in Fairfax at Starbucks if any of you guys plan to go this morning.

There's a chance I might swing by later this morning after the F1 race, but probably not. Got a busy day ahead of me today.

Scratch that -- not gonna make the show today.

It was a light showing. I think the sprinkles scared folks off. There was still a good 8-10 cars that showed.

Cool. I saw an Aston Martin DBS parked in front of a starbucks near the meet location right before getting there. I saw Trooper when I was pulling up to the Target and decided to follow him. He stopped by for a pre-meet coffee at a seperate Starbucks like 2 mins away :icon17:

Wish I had taken a pic of the Aston though.

:eek::shakes head:

Haha, yeah the Aston DBS is a gorgeous car. Apparently the bright red Aston DBS one I saw in the Giant parking lot a few weeks ago is owned by a friend of mine's Uncle in the area.

So who is in for tomorrow?

I think we are going to do lunch a little later than normal (probably leave at 12) since Shahid and Masa are going to try to make it down to join us after their exams.

I should be in.

I roll out of bed and drive a mile.

Wayyy too much effort... :roflpuke2:

Jay is the new Lance. :icon18:

Difference is, I actually show up to the meetups near me AND on time :owned:

I might try and make it if I get the beast running tonight and everything checks out ok after my first 65 miles....

I need a longer shake down cruise and the 120 mile round trip should do it just fine.

Hope to see you out there with the beast. :tiphat:

I'll be there.

And I bought, but then immediately returned a black bra for the car. So, man card still in tact for now.

Painters tape FTW.

I need to get some. Any advice on where and what type?

Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart... really anywhere. They also carry it at all the auto parts stores. Try to get the Blue painters tape that has the orange on the label... it's the lower residue version of the blue tape. But either one is good.

:icon18: Guess all of my bashing this week made you ditch the idea? :bowrofl:

No, the following line in the installation directions did:

"The paint under the bra must have already dried and cured."

That's the reason I can't get clear bra re-applied, so why would I bother shelling out 200 bux extra on something that I also can't use?

Ahhhhh makes sense. Touche, salesman!

The folks at Car Max, where I purchased it, were none too pleased. :roflpuke2:

I walked in, bought it, walked out to my car, read the instructions, walked right back in and returned it. :roflpuke2:

Pat and I will be attending. Where we headed for lunch?

Hmmm... I've been craving sushi... todai? :drool:

hahaha...I'm always down for Todai, but not sure about everyone else. Pat and I just had dinner on Monday evening at Sakura and had some great sushi there as well. Either way I'm flexible.

Could also go for some Famous Daves. :drool:

I probably won't be eating much anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. Probably going to have breakfast right before I leave for the exam and I won't be very hungry by noon.

:yum:

Willard's BBQ FTMFW.

Willards BBQ

I'm up for ANY PLACE! Todai's, Famous Daves, Willards, Coastal Flats, etc.

Pit Beef BBQ, Mmmmm.

Pick whichever one is closest to College Park ;)

:icon18:

I should probably start studying soon :p

Don't think I will make it tomorrow. Should have the car running by noon with just a hair of luck. Intercooler piping and oil cooler left to do and start her up...

I might be later or not there. Car went longer than expected.

That is doubly true for me...
