Default Introducing... The New Beater

I stumbled upon this neat little green machine a few days ago and couldn't resist. This massive, screaming 2.0 5speed will certainly give the Z a run for it's money . I totally dig this ride.. Hopefully she treats me well. $2200. 112k miles. Needs some tires and a good interior detail job.

Deepu, yeah a LS3 has some grunt thats for sure, good job renting the fun car...
I am hoping to do an event in August or September, July is just jammed for me.

Brian-I have to work this Sat but thanks for the invite.

Steve-awesome aquisition. If you take care of that it will run forever! Buddy Matt had one when we were younger. Ran for 220k and he NEVER took care of it.

The car is slowly getting broken in, though I did hit it real quick, and DAMN it moves out pretty good. Still waiting til 1200 to turn off the VDC and start driving like I do.. heheh

Steve - Nice find and not to bad a price either. Those 2.0's run forever.


Everyone - If anyone is interested in the Gold Cup Race, I have 2 tickets for saturday which will be the qualifying. It is for seating in the grandstands and pit passes. Tickets were 50.00 each. I am giving them away unless you wanna throw me some cash. Let me know.

Rob, I'll cut a special deal for you.

Half off twice the normally nondiscounted price or I'll sell you half the full priced tickets on the 2 for 1 price.

LOL - I can't get anything past you!

Unfortunately I have the 8-10pm shift at the ticket booth. I think I'm not supposed to drink before my shift so I think when I got the shift I really got the shaft. But hey, it's volunteer work! Can I get fired from that? If it were not so early in the morning, I'd drink before my regular job. I'll be there early enough to get a couple in.






I did hear that Michigan Brewer's Festival is also coming to Ypsilanti. (Yes, the link is in the text) Some yahoos wanted to have it in West Michigan. Then they realized the increased sales by locating it near me in my town. Smart move!

That is being held July 24th and 25th.

I will be driving feverishly from Panama City Beach, Florida to get there in time. There will be 47 local breweries represented. Admission is $30 on Friday (5-9) and $35 on Saturday. (1pm-6) Flat fee, drink all you want ... responsibly. The weak lushes get trampled on when they fall.

For a list of the breweries, go here: www.mbgmash.org

Things to do: There's always the Windsor Ballet. http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...Windsor+Ballet

Here is a list of them and a break down of the prices:
http://www.clubzone.com/c1/Windsor/Strip_Clubs.html

Women are friendly. If the women is very friendly, she may be for sale. LOL Soliciting is not legal in Ontario. Prostitution however, is legal. She just can't approach people and sell it. Especially walking the streets. Keep this in mind. Windsor is good about keeping them off the streets so most run incall service. In my opinion, Windsor did it right. Make it legal, make it possible to license and tax them, keep them off the streets and away from the tourists. I don't support such things, I'm just glad to see the Canadian Govt. had it mostly under control.

For restaurants: See the same guide for a list.

Don't you need a passport to get into Canada now? I'm not sure.. it's been about 14 years since I frequented the 19+year old drinking age, bar hopping extravaganza that is... Windsor.

Yes - unless you have your birth certificate, then they let it slide. I carry the passport card in my wallet instead of having my passport with me. It's been pretty handy. Sometimes I go to a hockey game or downtown for some reason and we end up in Windsor.

Oh son of a *****. This is the third beer festival I'm going to miss. I'll be road tripping to Boston that weekend.

Man Windsor strip clubs are so tame compared to those down by the airport. I've been to the Landing Strip and the Flight Club waaaayyy too many times.

Have fun at Grattan. If anyone gets pics or video, let me know please. I can probably get a preview on YouTube.. but I'd rather get a member's point of view. I need to do my brakes before I hit the track again.

I'm lovin the VW. 4 brand new Yokohamas for $347 total! lol. I think Jonny has to pay $350 just for 1 of his rear tires.. not including install. (sorry to rub it in Jon). I could have gone cheaper, but these AVID TRZ are supposed to be good in the wet/snow and rated for 80k miles.

Thanks Steve!! and the cheapest quote i have had was 320.00 per tire for OEM's not 350.00. lol I love the Rays rims, but they take some expensive rubber. The cheapest cost I got for some Mich PS2 installed was 490.00 each

Glad your new car is doing well for ya. Those things can run forever.

Johnny,
WOW man that is some expensive Rubber, though the PS2's are AMAZING tires. They really set the standard with those...

Steve-glad you love the VW man, they are great little cars.
We should put a turbo on it!!!
