I went by there after work before going to the reg spot to scope it out... great place but no inside part. We ended up haging out at the same old same old for a while then cruised over to 4 Queers... wait, 2 dudes... maybe it was 3 dykes.... Oh yeah it was called 5 Guys out near P-Rods place in Kanigitdale. Anyways we just cruised there to eat more or less I think. We might need to start cruising around to find some other spots since it seems most of us agree the old spot is... old.

Well, like someone already said, some missed out on a great meet. It's not often I get to hang with you guys! Even if I was the little red seven step child. Hopefully I'll be at this again next year. I like it when the meets come down east. I only had an hour and a half drive!! Thanks for posting the Pics too. I can now prove to the wife where I was all day, well some of the day any ways.
Oh, I got dumped on comming into Kinston! Large wet drops all over and mine is a fare weather car too!
Thanks Nic for the passes, its the only way to go!!

Yeah man. I'm actually kind of glad you didn't come to the rallycross; I would have felt bad if you had damaged your car just trying to get to it. Then again, you LIVE in Clayton so it would be a hop, skip and jump to change cars or ride with me.

Yeah, pretty much. I need a swaybar endlink since mine is bent a little, but that's all mechanically. Now I just need a front bumper cover, a fender, and a paintjob.

David- I've already been told I'm going to Moody, although, if I can, I might still try to put in a BOP. I heard there is a college down in Valdosta with a bunch of women looking for military guys, so it might not be so bad anyway, haha.

Hey guys, isn't there somewhere I can check to see in what state my car was originally sold? Checking by VIN number? I'm trying to find out what kind of stock ECU I need. I got the car in Denver, and it's not too far to have come from Cali.

So the post office is screwing me over again. The FPR got to Raleigh and the dipshits sent it back to VA!!! "Undeliverable as addressed" I'm sorry, I guess my correct ******* address is too hard to comprehend!!! I checked with Fritz and he put my exact address on there, I don't see what the problem is. Josh, do you have any pitchforks and torches?

Josh, are you talking about Fritz's place or the distro center right there in Raleigh (haha)? Fritz is good, he put the right address on there and everything, it wasn't his fault, it was the incompetent postal service.

It looks to me like they already sent it back to VA, but I could be wrong. I'm hoping it's here in Hope Mills and I just have to pick it up, but I seriously doubt that. The thing isn't that big, they could have probably just put it in the mailbox, if not leave it on my doorstep or just have me sign for it. This is ridiculous. What really pisses me off is that we don't have a choice, they will always be there even if we never send any letters or anything. And they just keep increasing postage. It's a ripoff. I've been calling the 800 USPS number all morning and never got a human, and the robot kept fading in and out, then would ask me if I said yes or no and I didn't even know what the **** it was talking about! So I called an office here in Fayetteville and she said "well I'd stop by the Hope Mills branch and talk to them, they should be able to help you", thanks, you've been a HUGE help. I hate this place.

Eric, you might want to PM P-Rod. We were talking Saturday night and may have come up with an idea about the car problem. I think it was called FASS or something like that. Phil had seen a diagram of it or something.

Greg- Thanks Greg, I'll check with him.

BC- I'm stopping at the post office on the way home to see if maybe they have it there and it's just messed up online or something, I'm really hoping that's what it is. If not I'm gonna be really pissed off I can tell you that much, even moreso than I already am. I told Fritz to resend it to my address though. Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know what happens and if I decide to go that rought. I appreciate it BC.

As we all know, we are pretty much like family. Therefore some things can be shared openly with everyone. Eric, I have to share this with the group. After much discussion with Greg Saturday and MANY hours in the lab, I have a solution for you. I know you may be a little embarrassed by this, but like I said, we are family. This might also help anyone else out there who has been experiencing this problem, but has yet to mention it. We are here for you Eric. Try this:

Dammit I thought you guys were serious. I really need to get this thing fixed. I jus hope all this fixes it. I guess I'll try FASS if nothing else works, I better get a discount though.

Turns out the FPR is at the post office. It's insured so I got a slip in the mailbox, I signed it and I'm gonna leave it with Buck so he can get it tomorrow. I can't wait to try this.
