Mark, what date(s) are you thinking of? Looking at mapquest it is a 5 hour drive for me. Some might say I am crazy but it would be cool to meet some NEPOCER's, hang out and get blacked out headlights at the same time. Wait until I tell the wife....she may just call the boys with the white jackets...lol

Oh, I rented a fender roller today. The rear 18's rub just barely on big bumps when I'm really loaded up.

I need to do a little fender rolling. I think from my old 215 width tires rubbing once or twice they exposed some steel which accelerated the rusting. No fun! Once I roll my rear fenders I'll figure out what to do about the bubbling paint and such >_<

I've already had it fixed once. It's bubbling all along the edge of the fender now.. before it was just between the rear bumper and rear fender where they meet. I'm waiting until it's winter and I have my stock wheels/hood back on before I go to the dealership. There's no chance in the world that my current wheels/tires would rub the fenders to expose the steel to rust, but I'd rather not take any chances with the way some dealerships enjoy voiding warranties. The only warranty work my car has ever had before is for rust problems :P My paint was bubbling at 50k miles, now at 75k miles it's bubbling again.

total snow accumulation last winter was less than a foot. I had my summer wheels/tires back on the first week of january, we had a warm spell and it was up over 60 and I washed/waxed my car outside. It was a bit.. crazy.

But yeah I still blame Rochester haha.
 
Before the rain rolled in yesterday, I fixed my exhaust leak....Seems the gasket MAM sent me had turned to nothing in about a month, so replaced it and sounds clean and even once again, except now have vibrating/rubbing issues with the Front Transverse Member and the Flex-Pipe on the Mid-pipe again...Sometimes it's the little things that make you lose your mind...So waiting until it stops raining and will jack her up and tweak it some....F-ING FLEXPIPE!!!!!

Yup, sounds good. Little nervous to do it on my own.

Actually it was under warranty. The paint perforation is 5 years, unlimted mileage.

Swap everything out of your car into mine....once you buy it that is, but I won't argue if you want to do it beforehand.

(omg) Oh noooooo, not the man swap againnnnnnnnnn!!!!!
 
LMAO at your map Mark! When I got home from work I asked her if she was up for a road trip. Her response "If it involves your car then NO!". Still love her after all these years (14 to be exact).

Saturday is best for me as well. What time would you guys be meeting? I would prefer to leave my place early am (3ish or so) as I would be heading home later that day, hoping to see the kiddies before bedtime. The 18th would be cool, a chance to meet Kansei (Chris) as well.
