considering this has been my first major purchase (ok my computer was big but this was a LOT more lol), first car (my title or banks for another 3.5years), first manual and first baby/girlfriend/wife/talking non-organic buddy... I figured there will be a learning curve.

Heck before I scared to talk so I wouldn't lose focus on driving... now I can talk and drive haha... My gf said she's still 'scared' when I drive but for different reasons now (apparently I'm getting more aggressive but I feel like I leave a fair bit of safety margin) and my other friends noticed the shifting smoothness has improved 100 fold. He made a special mention when I did a very spirited acceleration saying 'that was a huge difference than last month' Had to follow up saying in a good or bad way? He said good!

I love how this car tells you what it will do and react! Well not literally but you can feel it... it's pretty awesome hahaha considering before I considered myself a pretty decent driver I can definitely say my driving has improved substantially but still not amazing although I can say I'm probably a better driver than 90% of the general public... but that's not saying much since everyone on this forum probably is ahhaha!

And you said you were going to Bacon when Gurney posted a free weeks ago or whatever. Figured you would just show up. :/

Thank you Miss Pint for defending my honor from that vicious and unwarranted attack by Mr. JAR! Apparently, the fact that I rolled into town wasn't enough to get him off the couch. Duly noted sir.


It WAS very nice getting to see you and Mr. Pint on Friday evening Sorry, we never seemed to meet up on Saturday for some reason. You were missed at Bacon.

We did leave a chair empty as a show of respect for Mr. JAR as we assumed he was missing in action. I also ordered an extra side of the "house" bacon in his honor.

I thought the missing man formation on I-35 South was pretty inspiring too. The Texas DPS, not so impressed.

It was a great time at COTA this past weekend. Some of you "out of town guys" need to start saving some cash, start a paper route, dip into the 401(k), or whatever to get down to Austin for this event. With maybe 10,000 in attendance each day, there is no better chance to soak in some great motorsport action for two full days at a ridiculously low price ($139.00 with corral parking pass).

It sounds like Nissan plans on stepping-up the owner perks too.

I'll check back in later. Have a great afternoon.

Always nice seeing you too Mike! Really wish you could be in Austin more often. And with you about others needing to come down for this event. It's easily one of the best as you have lots of access to every part of the circuit, the teams, the cars, etc. COTA posted that 50k people attended over the course of three days. If I had known that I would have been getting free passes, I would have requested Thursday and Friday off.

Hope you're back over this way soon. More than likely, I'll have to head to Houston again to get my headlights redone. I'll let you know and maybe we can actually meet up.

I ordered the Stillen Gen3's and exhaust... BOTH were on back-order. Gen3 having a longer list but seemed it would be finished sooner than the exhaust (maybe higher margins? who knows...)

ARGHHH lol I'll probably get a few weeks of the intakes at this rate but won't even get to really test them since it'll be too cold for my tires to stick well.. Exhaust will go on next year.

RAWR!
