we didn't see any problem being there either, but the mall security came over to bug us twice. We told them we were just waiting on someone to go get some dinner, but they made it pretty clear they didn't want us hanging out.

Starbucks is nice for the exact reasons you said. We can try somewhere else, maybe a local restaurant would be easier so that we could talk to the owner to see if we can meet up there.

BTW, you ever figure out swapping exhausts? I have a buyer that is getting serious about getting the car.

Well the more I think about it the timing is a bit off. I like your exhaust but I am getting the new tires for my new rims today + alignment + camber kit. So it just isnt the right time to get the exhaust

Especially when I am leaving my company to start a new one. I would perfer to have more $$ in the bank. Hope you understand!!!

Small suggestion from a newcomer, Knuckles road in the west end, Bottoms up, they are open really late and who wont eat pizza? they have a ice cream place next door too....just an idea, there are other businesses there but I dont know what they are honestly. Plus if Food lion is closed since its late we have a decent parking area and its sorta hidden from the cops between the businesses. Honestly I just really like there pizza and can eat it anyday.

bottoms up could be fun, but i imagine that area won't be too kind to people hangin out either. thats where all the CEOs and rich peeps live, so we may get hasseled there too. I think maybe if we talk to the owner/manager like the guys at Starbucks did we would be able to hang out hassle-free.

Okay, I've only been gone for a day or two, but Chris, when the **** did you change your screen name????!!!

As far as new places to hang, I'm up for anything on the west end. We can try anything and just see if the cops come to hassle us. If we park near Bottoms Up, there is a Vets office or something just a few feet away that should be closed and we could line up our cars over there possibly. I can imagine us all backing into those parking spots and lookin great! We schmooz, check out our cars, then on to pizza and a few brews, or cokes.

You're in luck Scott, it was changed this morning lol.

I'm a no go for anything this Friday, apparently Amanda has won us an "all-inclusive" honeymoon vacation package from a drawing she entered at one of these wedding events she's been attending regularly. The one stipulation is that we have to attend this cooking thing Friday night, where I'm sure we'll be 'pushed' to purchase something. If it is what they say it is, I can eat free food and tell people no at the end of the night for a trip to the bahamas

Small idea, maybe do bottums up if it works out good once a month(maybe the first friday of the month) and do starbucks either every other friday or also once a month....whatever works, figured we can take a friday break from starbucks if your all down once a month for some food in that area.

I know I personally wont go out every single friday to starbucks but maybe once or twice a month depending on weather and I am good for pizza once a month also.....of course this all may change if I get a job that collides with friday nights, still searching.

I would like to get a monthly meet going, and maybe instead of having a meet at starbucks every other Friday, we all just kind of come/go as we please. I mean, I'm sure it will still be posted in this thread what everyone's plans are, but it would be nice to get something a little more organized. No one is obligated to show up but it would be nice to know, for example, that on the 1st Friday of the month you'll be able to find a few of Richmond's finest 350z's out at <Insert desired place here>.

Anyone else up for this?

i dunno man, somewhere where you have to take a lot of awesome turns so you can test out those new sways lol

I do have an exhaust leak btw, but I don't care, it sounds awesome! lol I could've just loosened up my oem cats and gotten the same sound from the test pipes!

My car isn't much to look at anymore, but its only temporary. The real Fairlady is shipping out today, so now I just have to get this one sold, and then I will really be in business

I tore into them pretty good last night coming home from school. Dramatic difference and I am very pleased. Now that they've rescheduled the autox I'll be able to break them in there.

Don't worry Pratt, I know it will be worth the wait!!!

Is everyone up for Bottom's Up this Friday?
