Welcome, pepito0!
As the "old man" of the group, I am working around Bama Football & U14 Girls soccer.:rolleyes:
With a Nismo I don't think you are as big a introvert as you think you are.;)
Glad to have you aboard.

What kind of nonsense is this?!?

Quit posting in the Huntsville thread... It keeps sending me emails! The nerve of you people...

My problem generally is that I'm always pretty busy... I pretty much quit going to the little meet up things.

Little embarrassed to show up somewhere with my car at the moment... Like to keep a distance... My front bumper has yet to be fixed from when I hit a raccoon [though I did pull the dint out, you just see a crack/break if you get up close]. Then when they were repaving the parkway a rock hit the windshield and I've yet to get that crack fixed.

I also have 81k miles now.... *sigh*

I'm totally shot for the month of September. But I'm down with the idea of a Z meet. I also like the idea of incorporating some actual driving into the idea. Cars and Coffee is awesome in Nashville.

Getting a group to cruise to Z Nats would be cool but I can't commit to that yet either. I will likely only be good for the one day on Saturday there.

Why not just park at a distance, and bring my camera?

And not allow anyone to look closely at my car... Hah.

Been trying to free up the money to get a new bumper and have it painted... I've gotta see how much my guy will charge me to have it painted... He kinda owes me a favor so who knows.

And on the side I'm trying to get the old SRT back into running condition so I'm not putting sooo many miles on the Z.

Hey everyone :tiphat: sorry I'm late to the party. Just found this thing. Larry, glad you made it over to the forum, and glad to have you in the community. Oh and clean Nismo BTW.

By my count there's now 7 Forum Members checking in from the Huntsville/North Alabama Area.
Not a bad start!

That would work. If I was having to replace my bumper I would look closer at switching to Amuse, Fujimara, Stillen. The first two you can get reps so more in line with the price of the Stillen front bumper. I figure you are spending around $500 for a stock replacement?

Replacement is like $300 I think. My problem with getting a different front bumper like that is not much is done to my car, so I don't want people to think there is more done to it by having a different front bumper.

In the end I would probably just like to get a lip.


*edit*
Also my job is a bit uncertain lately so that has also been holding me back on some stuff.

Well if the OEM is that cheap then that would be best bet especially if money is tight or could become tight at the moment.

Next up:
Z Nationals Oct 4-6.

Who is available Nov. 2 and wants to cruise up for the Nashville Cars n Coffee? This will be a striaight shot up and back on 65.

I see what you did there... It's a bye week... lol.

What time would we be leaving out for Cars and Coffee? I've been wanting to go.

Yep same weekend I hit last year. We would leave out early Saturday morning. When I say early I mean 7am or so. Some of the exotics are known to be there bright and early and do not hang around til noon to be seen. Takes about an hour to get up there.

That sounds pretty good, Should be able to count me in on that.
