I might have actually accomplished so much more in my life if it weren't for OCD. But, then I buy cars from people without OCD and it makes me realize it's sooooo worth the extra effort... because it'll actually work and last.

I hope wherever we meet or go...its totally lowrider friendly. My body kit doesnt need ripped off or damaged. I hover maybe 2" off ground. Because if not...youll see me turn around

Last time I was in that park it had a few small hills, but nothing too sharp or potentially hazardous to a car that low. I used to meet up with the mx6.com guys there every year or so until my mx6's engine went to the great salvage yard in the sky.

Its been a few years since I've been there, there's a member here that actually lives in Emporia I was hoping he would chime in if what I said is still true. I faintly remember there being a speed bump on the far side of the park where there is a straightaway, but we should be either right by the entrance or in the middle of the park where there should be ample parking for us. My former roommate was there in his slammed ford probe (I know, right?) and he didn't have any issues. At any rate, I will try to look into an alternate meetup point just in case.

When I was there last a young girl was having a birthday party and they played a song that sounded like "red foot blue foot" over and over. As hilarious as that was, I find myself humming that tune every once in a while. I like to think they are still there, playing that song.

My FC is largely collecting dust at the moment, there is more engine problems than I want to deal with, right now I am acquiring parts for a T2 swap, and I will repaint it when I pull the engine.

My FD is up and running just fine at the moment. It is in it's winter nap right now, although I did take it out for a spin about a month ago when it was 60 degrees. It is largely stock other than some reliability mods (downpipe, aluminum ast, koyo radiator, etc).

Thanks dude. The *** is the money shot right now, that's what I'm trying to deal with before the meet. And put a silencer back on it cause the screaming, thrashing flame shooting fun has started to get a little old.

No more black primer? It's looking like you're making some good progress. Should be a pretty badass beast when you're done.

Very nice. I like the wheels, they go well with the convertible body style.

Did that LSD work out for you?

Well I couldn't get ahold of anyone I know in real life or on the forums about Jones Park, but if it makes you feel better, Google Maps street view is here to the rescue!

https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4249...!6m1!1e1?hl=en

Its kind of hard to see but I think I see a few small speed bumps. If you objections to going there because of the speed bumps we can meet somewhere else instead.
