We are doing the midnight showing down in Roch tonight, so I'm pretty excited for that! I picked up the walkies last night too. Now I just have to find a situation I can test out the distance with them, I might drive to the south end and have someone on the north end and see how they hold up for distance.

I didn't know the show was at 10pm, but I guess it makes sense for a midnight movie. I might show up for it, I'll text ya Lance if I'm coming to it.

KK lemme know as soon as you know! Lindsey is ridin' w/ me! We're meeting at Nick's apartment (Parklawn ave apartments). Its like 4-5 blocks from the theater. Nate is meeting us there with his 300 as well.

Glad to hear you can make it Saturday T-Hayes...can finally get these springs into your car! (what are you planning on doing w/ the stocks? )

Ive been fighting this odor in my car for the last few weeks. Tried everything to get rid of it - odor bombs , air neutralizers, sprays and nothing. Checked everywhere in the car for food, wet clothes etc. I don't eat in my car so I thought it was weird that I suddenly started smelling this funk. Had the windows open for 4 days straight in the garage and after I closed the window for a night and went back in the smell was back.

Last night when I got home I decided to rip the car apart to find the smell. Took out the all the panel, dash, trunk space. I noticed my grommet in my trunk by the spare was not in. Removed the back seat and there staring at me was a dead %^^&(** mouse! Unreal I think it climbed in when it was nice and warm a few months ago then got really cold. I got some ozium and sprayed that and Im running some spray that goes in the vents now. Sprayed it in the air cabin intake now and it working. What a nightmare. The better you take care of your stuff it seems the more $%^# happens!

My car gets shat on almost every day after I wash it lol and me being me, the **** gets washed again hahaha leave that bird **** on for too long and it eats away at your clearcoat and you get a nice imprint of where the **** was.


Speaking of car cleaning, I just spent $132 ($119 after the coupon!!!) on detailing supplies to get myself ready for the G37 next week. I am pretty pumped!!!

Front springs

[QUOTE=soolman32;3058933]No worries you still have dibs on them They should be coming off the car maybe some time next month if we hit above 40.



Tevi - I know you are in the process of moving - congrats -but what's your plan for upgrading your front springs?

Lemme know if you want a second opinion. I'm actually an assistant manager for US Bank in St Paul. Been w/ the bank for just over 2 years now, was with Wells Fargo for 3 years prior.

What's your name by the way? Did you see the thread for the May 7th Meet???? Are you going to make it?
Sorry - a little behind. My name is Darwin. Will not be at the meet - planning to close 5/20 and all my time is committed for prepping and staging current house. Will be glad when it's finally over. Actually did get a quote from Eric Mann in Bloomington office - we've been with USB for quite a few years with home equity and they have our current mortgage. Finally got the sawdust producing jobs in the garage done so will take the cover off and drive the G this weekend for the first time this year! Looking forward to more garage space - too many tools plus two cars. New house has a heated oversize triple garage. Have a great time at the meet guys.
