Ha, I'll be so far behind you that you'll be wondering if I'm off the mountain. But you know my history... I like starting out as the slow car. Thanks Doc. Totally appreciate the support! I'm looking forward to seeing what else you've been adding to that crazy garage of yours. Spring can't come soon enough.

Thanks Aaron. I did just that with the GLI and I'm going to do the same again; the sale is perfect and I loved the 4-program setup. My only concern for the DP is the fitment with the AWE catback in the future, and fit with the existing cat-back. My BB DP on the GLI pushed my OEM cat-back out 3-4 inches and I hated it. :no: I'll check out the Bilstein kit for sure. Thanks! She's actually in VA with one of my best friends, so honestly it was the best transition possible. Good home, knowledgeable owner, and I know she'll be taken care of from here on out.

After a quad turbo kit and a huge wing, she'll be ready to go. Dead on. 2.0T, 6spd, Premium Plus. After a month or so of a basic shakedown, I'm probably going to hop to either APR or AWE for a chip upgrade, throw in a beefier DV, and maybe some sways. Those are the only mod plans before heading down to the Tail of the Dragon this year in May. Somewhere before or after that I'd like to find a reputable place to get a tint job done. In the coming year or so? - AWE intercooler - APR or AWE downpipe - AWE quad cat-back, to go with... - Deval Valence w/S5 or S-Line rear bumper - H&R Coilovers or H&R OE Sport Springs (still deciding what to do...) - Some nice 19" wheel/tire option for warm weather When all of that is done? - APR K04 kit I'm not trying to make a beast of a car after all; just a great DD with some extras. Loved the 1.8T in the GLI and can already see that the 2.0T is going to be just as enjoyable.

Hey guys, After some time away from CR, I'm finally making my way back. Since I switched cars and maybe got a few haircuts while MIA, I thought it was worth doing a pseudo-reintroduction post. So... hi. :fa: I was probably seen with a dirty VW GLI or goofy autox-stickered 300ZXTT from time to time at C&C over the years. So here's the new DD (and only car so maybe "DD" doesn't fit?) See everyone in the spring. :lurk: (hopefully the links work...) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14472297/J88A2254.jpg

A pretty cool project worth checking out, maybe backing if interested. Watch the video to hear the guy's summary. I thought it might be worth sharing since some of the CR community includes car-loving dads too.

Nice find Clay. Looking to add one of those to your lot? Gimme any Audi RS model in Avant form... there's my parent car. But I would still rock the hell out of that Defender.

Wow Doc... just... wow. Definitely a fantastic choice.

I'm a fan of crisp, bright tail lights, even when not lit. But that's subjective I suppose. I totally agree with the rear-ending issue though; most people I see during my morning commute can barely handle driving in a straight line without swerving or nearly missing someone stopping.

Gorgeous.

I was lucky enough to get some all-access passes to this past weekend's Indy 200 at Mid Ohio. I'm still processing the final cuts, but they will slowly be finding their way to flickr this week. I thought they would be worth sharing. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4877663031_dc2e6fd853.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4878268824_6b28819d2c.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4878268440_ba1051ceea.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4877659135_088ce3123b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4880857327_5cefc8261f.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4881425586_cddedb850e.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4881385914_40cee8230a.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4881274932_97503ac41f.jpg The entire set can be found here: Flickr Album Thanks for looking.

Should make it this time.

Another big +1 for Clifford Auto.

Yaaaaaay Photomographs. I only shot a few, but it's always worth sharing. Good times as usual. Huge thanks to Doc for the memorable time in the Lotus; made my weekend.

I'm going to edit tomorrow and get some posted.

It's 1:13am. I'm not sober. But I'm going to try.

You probably just missed us. The rain got the better of me, as did the need to go back to bed.

^That's awesome. I'm there.

I'd be there but I'm driving to tropical Cleveland for family stuff. Smoke one for me.

I'd have taken pics if it didn't start to rain when we walked outside. Small turnout, but not bad considering the weather. Plus I got some great advice on how to avoid a hangover.

I survived four years of Palmer Fest - what great times.
