No problem. You guys better bring those hoodies and jackets. The highs will be around 50 with lows in the upper 30s, but it supposed to be sunny.

Road Atlanta is the next one. You will be missed for sure, but I look forward to the Formula D driftMechaniks takeover at RA. Glad you got some work your way!

that does suck, but hopefully you can make some big money and get that cool diff or STI engine on the way

. we'll throw down here in ATL next month too.

Although it sucks that you won't be able to make it... I totally understand!!! Make that money, playa!!! Show Turner how it's done!!

I got my passenger seat back in the e46 last night... I got a set of 5-point harnesses to keep the passenger from headbanging the rollcage. I got the last (or just about the last

) of my vinyl up on the car. I may or may not have not rattle canned my z4 rims army green.

I tried to stay up all night without sleep, because I have to make a mad dash about towne to acquire my tyres, and I planned on doing that at 8am this morning, but I think I passed out around 6:30 and woke up at 8 for my 10am meeting. Now I have to get my tyres today during the day. Time is against me in a major way.

Either way, it looks like we're headed north tomorrow morning at the break of dawn!

Andy you got new vinyl? Post a pic don't make me wait for the formula d coverage.

that sucks Tyler. But its certainly a good thing that you have work/money coming in.

When are we scheduled to leave on Thursday? I'm asking b/c I have a 8am (8am-Noon) class that I should really attend. However, I caught the FOERST couple of hours of the class, they would be cool too.

Hahaha... I read that wrong at FOERST. I was thinking "I think I've used them before too"... then I was like "DOH", I see what you're saying. Gawd I get delerious when I don't sleep.

I'll see if I can get some pics online tonight for ya!

The gfx aren't my final intention for the season... but time wouldn't allow me to rawk it out just yet.

Umm... I wanted to try and leave at 6am, but I am short a set of FM901's for my 18's. Gran Turismo East is hooking up the express delivery stylee tomorrow morning around 9am... so realistically, we'll prolly need to leave around 10. It's a 13.5 hour drive, and we are going to have to book it up there. I will run blocker in the e46, with my foot on the floor. If anyone gets a tixor, it'll be me.

I tried my best to have everything taken care of, so that things wouldn't be last minute, and we'd get there with time to spare. My tyre sponsor just got me my tyres this afternoon, which is cutting things pretty close! It's crazy how things can come together at the last second.

Hehe... it's starting to look like a normal dM road trip: nit-grit, and down to bare bones on time, with a few hours of sleep to spare. I guess it would be weird if it were any other way!

that's cool bro. I'll probably go to class at 8am, leave at 9:30 or so and be at either you or Cody's place (where ever we are meeting) shortly there after. This way I can show face in class, yet not delay our trip.

gawd! I've got sooo much to do between now and then
