Mike you should have saved that post for some important announcement.

Ray can you post a consolidated PDF of your calendar like you did before?

Will do Tim. How did I do it before?

We'd better get it done before SOPA and PIPA kick in and they shut down the internet. At least half the post in the OGTA thread have been counterfeited.

Congrats on #1000 Mike!

I'm still trying to figure out what Yahoo did to my Yahoo page, the damn thing is full of advertisements and links to sites I don't need or want and can't delete. Stealing the internet for industrial profits is just the beginning. So much for Freedom.

The Allmighty Dollar is taking over our lives and if Mitt Money can somehow convince the average American voter he's not a greedy airhead capitalist pig we might all need to move to Canada. Or Mexico, depending on your weather and recreational preferences.

Looks like progress on the project!

Those seats are fantastic, they must have been redone, right? There's a guy (Barron; 83Limited on the Forum) with a great story about rediscovering his original Limited Edition LE after selling it 15 years ago. He was able to buy it back and is now doing a total restore, with the red interior. He needs a pair of those seats!

(Of course I already have a pair of mint red leather seats from an '83 but they're going in the White One).

And I'm still looking for a pair of those red leather door panels from the 84/85 series for the White One, let me know if you don't need them!

My wife tells me that they have been working on a closed restaurant near her work, at the intersection of Old Peachtree and Satellite, just west of I-85.
They just put up a Tilted Kilt sign on it this week.

Hi all, I want to start by re-introducing myself. I joined this group a couple of years ago when I purchased my 86 GXL. I was hoping to meet other Rx members to share ideas and info. As it has worked out, I stay fairly busy between my full time job, and my side work, and attended my first, and only meet a few months ago. I live in Monroe and work in Atlanta so making it to the monthly meeting in Suwanee becomes a little difficult. I also haven't done anything to my car other than drive & routine maintenance, which becomes a little embarrasing when I see all the work the members of this group put into their cars.

As I am not as devoted to the group as I would like to be, I am reluctant to ask, but a very good friend of mine has just purchased and reopened Southern Comfort Sports Grill in Lawrenceville. He has had a few difficult weeks cutting through government red tape just to reopen a restaraunt/bar which had been in operation until he purchased it. He is "patiently" waiting for his beer and wine license to be approved (should be this Friday), mean while he has been hosting a local poker club, and serving food and soda. If the members of the club would be interested in holding the monthly meeting next Tuesday at his location, I believe he would be very appreciative, and as inticement, if his liquer license does come through this week, I will personally buy every one the first beer. Again the name is Southern Comfort Sports Grill, located in the Publix shopping center at the intersection of Sugarloaf Pkwy and Five Forks. The owner, Paul, likes to cater to groups so if the club would be open to travel I think it would be a great location. I will keep everyone updated on the beer license situation.

This place well off to the side of Publics, but still at the edge of the deep portion of the parking lot, so it would accomadate our 1st Tuesday meets easily. I have not been in Southern Comfort, but my wife and son have had lunch there and liked it.
Liquid, I wish your friend well.

Well here is the most offensive thing I've heard since Romney started campaigning for President 10 years ago. This idiot from CNN Money has the gall to list the 10 Best Budget Sports Cars through the Ages and not include either the 1st gen RX-7 or the Miata.

http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/...ortune/?iid=GM

It didn't take long for the comments to point out that this CNN Money Guy is short a few brain cells. But then he probably works for GM or Romney.
