I'm one of the guys from "way back" a few years ago that participated heavily on the Board and made some great friends, both in person and electronically.

Thought I'd give a brief update with the hope of not looking like a troll.

I sold my 2011 370Z back in early-'15. Just got a bit tired with it. I knew I would always go back to a sports car and had hoped a new Z would have appeared by now.

I finally got impatient and jumped on something that either happened today, or would be gone. I was able to purchase a 2018 Audi TT RS. I pick it up on Saturday.

Mr. Jar and the ever lovely Ms. Pint - I will be back up in Austin soon now that I have a decent car again. We need to hit Bacon and the Hill Country!

Cheers!

Nice, Mr. Gurney! Looking good :tup: :driving:

Definitely need to get together!

Well I TRIED putting on the Bluebat overlays for the headlights today. 45 mins into the first headlight my patience ran out and they are in the garbage. I do not blame the overlays as they looked good and the material was top notch. I blame the installer..

Not in a great mood over this. Yes I watched the videos and had everything outside ready to use. I guess I have to find a plan B hehe

What was tripping you up during the install?

The bends. I heated up (not too much) the vinyl and massaged it into the spots and took out the air bubbles fine. The flat parts are easy. What made me stop is after heating and spraying repeat ALOT the vinyl was not wanting to stick much anymore on spots that were in valleys causing air pockets that would not leave. Also I had to re-align it a couple times because after massaging the vinyl due to bends it slightly warped the wrap causing it to want to kink to make it straight again or start over.

Just played my best round of golf ever. 52 after 9 holes. Made my first ever birdie on a par 4 and played 9 holes straight without losing a single ball.
