They very rarely show up in any of the yards around here.

For the most part the S4's and S5's have the same dash, the only difference is the trim around the stereo is different, which isn't integral at all.

Just do a search for the LED TPS calibration. You can buy two LEDs from Radio Shack for a dollar or two, wire them up according to directions here on the forum, hook it up, have it done in a matter of minutes!

Both my kids were born in that hospital.
Have you been to the Friday night Starbucks meet?
It's usually every Friday starting at 8pm at the Starbucks on Huguenot Rd by the Nickel Bridge.

I need to get out more

you could be if you want

all depends what you're looking for

jobs -VA's got them

colleges - we got lots of those too

low taxes/low cost of living - yup, unless you move to northern VA around the DC beltway
you ban buy a nice little 3bdrm brick ranch house in a GOOD part of town for $150K (half that for a shitty neighborhood)

beaches - got those too

mountains with twisty roads - yup

VIR
RIR
and a host of small tracks

if you smoke VA has low prices on cigs

Richmond alone has several Microbrews and a couple of micro distilleries

What are you looking for Dylan?

started a new job last week
so I should get all caught up on bills soon
and I can get the Miata and the 911 back on the road

right now if I hit Starbux on a Friday night it will be with the whole family in tow
or I'll be in the wife's Integra, which is quickly becoming my car apparently
I have to commute down your way, the place I work at is just off Willis road

additionally I'm trying to fast track getting debt free, so the 911 will hopefully be getting sold by end of year

OK so the Huegesnot Bridge Stabux location is going to close at 8:00 on Fridays now, which is kinda when the meet normally starts.
I say we need at least one Starbux OG Meet at the old location up on Broad and ***.
And if it works out we continue from there.
If Zack, Alex, and Robin would show up that would be great ....... if they even read this thread anymore.

I live in Raleigh now, so it is a bit tougher for me to make it out these days!

Otherwise I would be there at least every few weeks.

Zach is in the final stages of a LS E30 build...he needs to show up with that.

at least 10 minutes from my house to 288
at least 10 minutes to get to sbux from that point of entry on 288
= 20 minutes minimum unless someone wrecks coming out of Cap One and 288 gets all kinds of backed up

WCC or ***/Broad is really an even split for me
