^^ Sounds good, Joe!

Not sure if anyone keeps up with the "Post a pic of your non-6gc" thread, but basically I traded the dreaded Lexus in for a 350Z. Progress has slowed on the Celica but I'm still doing my best to get her fixed up and one color for the meet.

Not at all. The Celica is still my first love and far from finished. It still needs work and there's no way I would ever leave it two toned. Plus the BEAMS is too much fun to forget smile.gif

That's how almost everyone advances out of the Celica field, they get a Z. You should have waited a year or two for the new model of the FR-S to come out.

I actually saw one when I bought the Z. Honestly, I just don't care for those cars. They do nothing to excite me. It's nothing against the car or anyone who likes them, but I'm personally not a fan. I'm glad Toyota is making an effort, however.

Yeah, it pisses me off that they put a boxer engine in it...

^This.

Despite the fact that she left me scarred, the payoff was so worth it!

AND... I did not move on from the celica world to a Z. I'm a masochist....







I bought a Mitsu.

I don't know. We've only seen the car twice since we last saw you...

Plus, that means the ralliart will have to sit out in the rain/hail while her's is in the garage

My girlfriend was too late on getting that GT-S... She will still be coming, just with me. I just bought some 25mm spacers for the rear wheels of my car, the TRD's will finally see the light of day. biggrin.gif

We need to find a way to set up a live video feed for the people who are not going to be there (like me). I'm missing you all already.

This meet is really sneaking up on me. I can't believe it's barely more than a month away.
