Just a reminder, the Fast & Furious group meets every other Friday @ QSL, and this Friday is the one. http://www.meetup.com/Columbus-import-car-club/events/17228631/ I'll be out of state most of the day, but will probably drop by at some point for pretzels and a brew on the patio. Perhaps see you there.

If you haven't experienced Ocracoke, you owe it to yourself. The kids may not be as "entertained" as they would be at Nags Head or Hatteras, but it's a wonderful place, plenty of history, good nightlife and daytime activities, and, if the kids have to have putt-putt and waterslides, Buxton and Hatteras are just a ferry ride away. Online reviews will be helpful if you decide to go. I stay in a private beachhouse when I'm there.

Wouldn't you be worried that someone down there would recognize you from your Craig's List ad? :marc2: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Mikeytat.jpg

Making them rental cars to be driven on central Ohio roads would put them through essentially the same tests.

Excellent video. Many thanks, Brian. :thumbup:

My first guess is that this is all a sham. John L, is this you? Maybe a prank by a mod? If you're for real, Tank, you're pretty credulous. You were, "Just out there doing what I could to put food in my family's mouth.......I did what I had to do." I'd say you didn't learn much for being down three years. How does owning an H2, an Escalade, and a bunch of other cars and bikes, while accumulating "stacks" to hold you over a good long time fit into your idea of doing what you had to do or putting food in your family's mouth? I guess the H2 was so you could go to the grocery to pick up food for your hungry children, eh? I think you've stepped into the wrong place if this is your thinking. Your ill-gotten gains and the "toys" you hope to buy with your illegal earnings aren't going to impress anyone here. I don't speak for Columbus Racing, but I would say this: The people I respect are the people who are into cars and racing. People who have learned about driving/building/tuning/repairing/detailing or driving cars. It takes no special talent to buy a baller car (I know). But a kid who is given a cheap wreck of a car, works on it with his Dad's help, learns from his buddies, takes on a part-time job to buy parts, and then takes it to the track and runs 15's is going to be someone who'll have my respect. Someone who hustles on the street to buy some bling and then claims to have been a victim of his circumstances "doing what I had to do to support my family" is a disgrace. It makes no difference to me what color you are and whether your crime was punching old ladies, pimping, selling crack, or stealing car stereos. Nobody is forced to do that to buy Escalades. Anyone who is stupid enough to say, after they were caught once, that they'd do it all again, must have really liked his bunkie more than his babies and their momma(s). And your purpose for joing CR is to try to get a deal on a car or a bike? I don't think we need you here. You can work better angles on Craig's List. It was made for someone like you. Am I wrong? Is this too harsh? You claim to have lots of friends who are members on here -- let them step up and vouch for you. I'll be the first to admit it if I'm wrong. My negative rep is signed. It won't be hard to identify me at a meet.

That's a BINGO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7duP4d9ZziY http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/bingo.jpg

Well, it seemed pretty simple. So, we arrived 20 minutes early and waited for you. Little after 7 p.m. (time stamp off one hour, sorry), empty lot: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/004.jpg Just me and the Major, waitin'. Dry roads. No rain. Waitin'. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/001-1.jpg Waitin'. Gary is on his way, texts us wanting to know if Mr. Nasty V6 is there. Nope. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/002.jpg Gary arrives 7:52 after some sprinkles. No Mr. Nasty. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/005.jpg An hour after Mr. Nasty's challenge time, still he doesn't show. Rainbow appears over Gary's car. Heavenly judgment determines Gary the victor. (With photoshop enhanced sky, you can see the "double rainbow." We could see it, but it was faint.) http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/006.jpg Sorry you didn't make the group photo, Roland. Game over.

Dry. Dark sky overhead, but clearing to the west. Looks to me that it will stay dry here. Perfect photo weather.

I ate at Sonic at 3, but might be up for some sushi down the street at Blue Ginger after the group photo.

You can't set up any sort of street race on CR, my friend ..... not even in the Oven However, I'll plan on being at HD @ 7 p.m. tonight to take a "group photo" of you and anyone else you called out. Be sure to bring the car you would have brought to street race. Look as hard as you possibly can, this photo will be in the Archives. :fuckyeah:

At Sonic Polaris now

Are you snortin' bath salts again?

I'm thinking of going north out of Delaware, probably along SR 203 to Prospect, then back on SR 257, then south along the River Road, then over across Alum Creek on Cheshire Road. It all depends on who shows up and how they want to ride. Very hard to predict arrival time at Sonic, but 3:00 p.m. would be my best guess. It's a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants kind of thing.

It's looking as though the rain will hold off until later today. I'll be at the garage from noon until 1:00 cleaning a few things. I'm thinking that the 999 needs to get out for a spin, perhaps 30 miles or so on some twisties, but @ a leisurely pace (as befits an elderly rider). Maybe lunch later at Sonic or somewhere near Polaris? Cars are welcome, but don't run into me. Garage is at 320 London Road, Delaware, Suite 104, across from MD Transmission. Text if you get lost: 740-405-5565 Departing at 1:00 today.

90% of the bikes are no problem. I was there when one arrived who was ridiculously loud, but then again, there was a blue Mopar who was just as loud, too. Bike, car or truck, there are always a few who make it tough for the rest. Rumor is that it's the high speed entries from 270 which are drawing out the Popo. Lots of trash (even beer bottles) is being left in the lot, too. It wouldn't surprise me if Home Depot decides to pull the plug before summer arrives.

Google is your friend, grasshopper.

I think it's the WRC's turn tonight. Why not be riceriffic?

Okey dokey. Wholly Joe's at 8 p.m., Polaris Parkway. Mebbe see a few of you there.

They're at Wholly Joe's on Polaris. Show up at 8 tonight with some firepower and help me make them extinct again.

How shitty would that be ....... finally in line at the pearly gates, but you're soaking wet .....

Wow! What a great day it's been. Some rain is moving towards us from the west ..... kinda dicey for staying dry after the sun sets. Anyone for some grub around 7:30 or 8 and then playing it by ear for Sawmill?

:nod: Yep. You'd be out of place. We'd prolly figure you were Cody's Dad looking to bring him home because he's past curfew. You seniors need to stay in after dark.

I'll be there around 8, Five Guys, Polaris.

So, Erica, is there a time and place decided yet? I'm gittin' hungerie.
