My favorite spot to eat is like 5 seconds from there too, Carrabba's haha. I eat there so much when I'm home .

Also Bmurray loving the stock wheel look, I miss it sometimes!
It was weird to be at an actual legit R&D type of shop. They have a full-blown office operation including a couple degree'd engineers which is always refreshing to see. It's pretty cool that they hand-make all of their exhaust systems right there on the premises. I think they had 7 or 8 guys working back in their fab shop.

I hear ya on Carraba's. I'm personally sick of it because I've been there so often (there's one about 10 minutes from my house), but the complimentary bread and spiced olive oil is unbeatable.

Any chance you get you gotta let us know. We all know, we all know about your HREs. Just keep rubbing it in people's faces.

I prefer having many sets of cheap wheels, keeps me from getting bored of my cars, saves a few pennies in my wallet as well.

Got my H&R OE Sport springs installed over the weekend. It's a subtle drop and I think they need to settle a bit:

Nope this is it, I swear, except for a set of winter tires and summer wheels. Got a wedding to save up for over the next 11 months so that's where every last penny is going. I could just sell the Z and pay for the wedding, then mod the ever living **** out of the Audi....but I'm not ready to let her go just yet.

Probably because the only time we'll let them drive it is when we're dead
