Hey Girls, what's cooking...!!!

So y'all planning a MD (KC) meet tomorrow, I might come :)

Sorry I've not been on for weeks, you know how it goes with work and stuff.

And my Hard Drive Raid took a nose dive, so I've been waiting for new hard drives.
Good job I do backups LOL.

Since it's a high-end gaming rig I went with Raid 0 (striped) for speed, and lost one drive.
So this time I'm going with Raid 1 (mirrored), so I don't lose anything LOL.

I had 10,000 rpm Velociraptors, but can't afford to replace those right now,
so going to just do a 1Tb mirrored raid.

Anyway, enough geek talk HaHa, so who's up for tomorrow?

I'm not, unfortunately. I have to run some errands and get the car worked on.

Actually instead of KC, this spot was suggested which I think is a great idea. This is the address for the Target and the lot is huge with restaurants and coffee nearby.

6111 Dobbin Rd Columbia, MD 21045

Tomorrow sounds like it might be a no-go, but the next MD meet should be here IMHO.

Looks like a nice spot!

mmm Chipotle is right across the street from there! Been a while since I've been to that shopping area, anyone know what ever took compusa's spot?

Sooo no meet tomorrow then?

shadoquad 12-30-2010 01:21 PM

I can't come, but what about Lance, Kirk, and Darren?

tooohip 12-30-2010 01:22 PM

Yeah, I won't make tomorrow it looks like. I don't think anything is in that CompUSA spot. I actually drove up there a couple years ago to get something. I was like, wow nobody is here, then walked up to the front door and saw chains, LOL!

4r3s 12-30-2010 01:41 PM

scrap it, not worth trying to get it together this late in the game. See you all next year! Hope everyone has a happy and safe new years eve!

shadoquad 12-30-2010 01:52 PM

You, too, Andrew :tup:

okay, I need an education - why lower a car?
What are the advantages?

Looks, lower center of gravity, better cornering...
what else?

In addition, how much would it cost to lower a 370 an inch or so?

Thanks

tooohip 12-31-2010 02:05 PM

Bill,

Looks and performance for me. You can just get a set of lowering springs if you just want the looks or go with a coilover setup for more handling performance. Cost can vary depending on your approach, but plan on a few hundred for the lowering springs to a thousand and up for coilovers.

For me it is all about the performance, the fact that it looks better is just a side effect. That and the stock Roadster suspension had some bad habits when pushed to the limits on anything less than perfect asphalt...

New Suspension is :yum::yum:

:iagree: I put 2K ish into mine but I trusted Scott to know what he was doing with the setup as his track record is pretty well proven...

Good to see you still live... Figured the new GF had taken away your forum privileges.
