Good Morning Everyone!!! TGIF!!

Went to the Efeta meet last night and there were TONS of cars there as usual, saw a McLaren MP4-12C...

Eventually we have 4+1 Zs, '+1' because he left earlier so the four of us stay till like 11ish, here's a crappy pic:


There was a Supra next isle to us doing a rev-up making so much noise and flames...

At one point I thought they are using the flame to have a barbeque...

And I also found this car:


Forgot the name but it starts with Austin...

Gonna go there again next week and hopefully we will have more than 4+1 Zs..

I arrived the site at 9pm and not until 10pm the other Z came... I was surrounded by all those 'shoot-up' civic and WRX...

But once we have all 4 Zs and we moved to the main parking lot, it draws quite a bit of attention...

Today going to do the brake work on my G35C and test drive the MS3 again to decide my next move. Also checking with another dealer if they can accept my lowball-ish offer on a new 5MT Fitsport. If price is right I will deal with slow.

GoodAM everyone!
Good Morning Mr.kenchan, Good Luck with the test drive and hope you will have a deal very soon..

Can check if the still-growing collection is available from kobo via download... hard copy will take up too much space...

And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.

I believe, and I could be mistaken, that this is an Austin Healey Sprite.

Love the grill I would consider doing that with a Z hatch (not mine!) for the sheer volume of grill space

Taking the Z to Perry's Steakhouse for their amazing pork chops and delicious margaritas (they're only open for lunch on Friday). Should have brought the Acura so I could valet; now we'll have to drive around for parking :shrugs:

Good afternoon Mr.alcheng

The show and shine looks like fun, I really want to make it out to one before the end of summer.

The little car looks like an Austin Healey

For a hot minute, I wished my Z was my old MS3.
My light kit just does not fit in the Z, so it's another day of driving the Ranger for me.

hi mr.alcheng- nice picts. wow, that pink is ... wow, pink.

thanks, i do hope i can figure this winter dd nonsense out soon as it is draining me (well, not really. )

i test drove the MS3 today (2nd time) and compared to the first test drive 3yrs ago, it felt so frikken... wierd(?). it's like a euro car-ish but it's not. it's like a sports car but it's definitely too FWD and imho it felt slow...might have something to do with the 92F humid weather today . it's like a puddling/spike-rocket but it twists my arm a lot when it spikes.. i HATE torque steer. it's like it's telling me im now too old for this shitt? like i out grown it. it was not a very friendly test drive. the sales guy was very polite though. he kept asking about my 370Z than asking wat i thought about the MS3.

he asked only once if i really felt like buying the car today. i said 'sorry, no, it's not how i remembered this car and as of today i dont want it...'

unless im going to go cheap with the 2012 honda fit sport 5MT, i think i might look at new TSX's. it's nearly impossible to locate a MT one in my area though..
