NEMOC Random BS Thread

spring can't come fast enough! and having a convertible makes it even more of an issue...

I feel your pain. Think I have driven my car 3 times in the past 2 months. So miss it!

This was from the other day.

Damn Mark...that number is crazy!!! :( to hear you are looking to push your move date up.

Congrats on selling the house Bruce but boo for moving.....hope to see you at The Mitty and LRP and maybe a NEPOC meet here and there?
 
i gotta head up to new britain for school tonight and i dont want to! no plow on our road yet, just had a person down the street with a front end loader do a little clean up. ive been plowing through so much stuff and loving it, but now ive got my squeaky belt from all the moisture.

really cant wait to see what i get for a tax return so i can start looking seriously at miatas. i so want that baby blue one, looked real clean from the pictures.

edit: just found this. might have to just say f-it and pull money out of savings to buy a miata before the p5 is paid off http://nwct.craigslist.org/cto/2176986876.html

Great news about the house Bruce! I was just watching the news the other night and they said December had record home sales. I think we may be on the way back out of this housing market recession. I sure hope so because I don't want to be stuck with the condo forever!

Cleared about 6" off the driveway this morning. Gotta go back out and do the end again because the plow came by a few minutes ago and left a pile of slush for me to clean up. I'm doing my best to keep the driveway from icing over for Saturday. Looking forward to seeing those that can make it :)

i know! this will be weird not seeing you...and i won't be doing LRP this spring either, going to AZ that week. well, we'll woop it up at chris and amand's sat, maybe break some furniture or something????
Yeah what's this about Mahk?? Pulled it from the housewarming so I wouldn't derail the thread...
 
Just got an email from tirerack that my new continental all season tires just shipped. Finally. Last night driving home from school after my hockey game 95 wasnt even plowed you couldn't even tell where the lanes were. Even got Loose at one point which was scary because I had been driving very carefully. It'll be nice to have some good rubber under me in all this snow
 
(sadbanana) Geez, with everyone leaving NEPOC, who will be left?

Mark & Bruce...I'll miss all those good times we had at the auto shows.

all bets are off when the wife finishes grad school. I want a warmer climate and a lower cost of living :)

That's what I want to hear.



Edit: Tony did you pull those shots from a video? They look really blurry and kind of like you took a single frame from a video.

Come to GA. I'm here and I've already found a nice group of people thanks to seanmcsean.

Remind me to love you even more at LRP this year and such. >:P
 
I hear you guys on the snow, I had to head in for my argument today and I spent half of the ride driving sideways. I generally use some of the back roads and found that even @ 5 this aft they were just straight up not plowed since probably like 6am. It got to the point where I made it to a small hill and because I had to stop for a light I just looked at it, noticed the snakes from where other cars couldn't make it up and decided that there was no chance I was going to make it and went the long way.

When I got back I also found that someone had parked in my parking spot and what was worse the management co decided that a half @$$ plowing job was good enough and there were no clear parking spots left in the lot so I had to get out (while wearing a full suit mind you) assemble the poorly designed emergency shovel I have in my trunk, and try to shovel out a parking spot with a 6in plastic shovel versus a pile of that beautiful frozen slush mixtures that plows leave behind. even then the lot was so tight that I had to angle into the spot no matter how well I cleared it and ended up sliding sideways into the ice/snow/frozen slush mixture. Hopefully there's no damage.

In regards to the housing market I don't know about sales but the NY times is reporting an alltime low for house prices, so now might not be the time to sell Mahk, Boston's fared a bit better than some of the worst areas (houses in ATL for example are worth the same as what they were 11 years ago) the prices are falling again (though they project that they'll probably get even worse in the near future so now might have to be the time). They're calling it a "double dip" I'm no economist but looking at the graphs the pricing is starting to look like the sinodal curves I studied in HS.

Important read for those of you in/soon to be in the housing market. As much as I hate the Grey Lady they're business section is starting to outclass WSJ

Also, anyone catch the number of RX-8s running in the Rolex GT series this year? by my count Speedsource has dropped one car (apparently they sold at least 2 cars and built 2 new ones but as far as I can tell they're only running 2 @ Daytona) Sahlen switched from Corvettes to 2 8s (they bought the old Speedsource cars), Dempsey has their 2, Racers Edge is rocking their 8 again but Yellow Dragon and a few other teams have opened shop with 8s as well. Sahlen is talking about grabbing the manufacturers title for Mazda. Could be fun to watch
