And so the vultures are circling Par's dead body already? In that case, I'd better send him a PM. 
Instead of starting another new thread, we can just plan for Saturday in here. I'm going to watch the weather very closely. I've been to C&C when it was cold, windy, and rainy. I hated it. Will not do that again. I don't mind getting together later for a cruise, but I won't go that early and get stuck in there.
I do need new tires for the Z, though. That's going to be my next purchase. I just bought a new battery for the van today.
Lance, I thought you said you guys were rolling in at 0645. Now it's 0745?

haha lance, kasey doesnt call the shots for stuff like this. i really just dont like being at a meet that long. i get bored within 1.5 hours. but since this is the first one i've been to here, i'll go.
plus i wanna assess the difference in c&c in a stupidly rich city like dallas vs here... which there is quite a bit of money here too, but dallas is just large.
speaking of which, went to the mazda dealership to look for a x-over today, and you kinda have to drive through the bentley/maserati dealership to get to it over in plymouth. haha

It's an altima! haha i do wanna sell it, but until kasey (wife) gets a better paying job, we cant pull the trigger on another car, at which point i would get rid of it.
it's a 3.5SE black on black altima (leather, bose, etc) with nismo catback, SE-R wheels and tails, and thats it. it's got 148k on it, runs strong, small oil leak which I will be getting fixed. it's a great daily, and paid off, so i have a hard time selling it, but will def do it when i get another car. hopefully she gets a new job asap. ANyone got a hook up? She's got a degree and is good - looking. haah!!
my 2 VQ's hanging out.

Alright well as Greg requested I have a parts list here just to gauge some interest, Alex has already been hounding me for some stuff so the osiris tuner is gone but here goes.
Os Giken LSD with output shafts 1000
Nismo finned diff cover 100
Hotchkis sways(brand new) 300
Bc racing coils (used about 4k miles) 750
spc rear camber arms 90
Borla exhaust (dent in muffler) 400
fleabay resonated test pipes 40
Jwt popcharger 75
Kinetix v++ upper plenum 170
Motordyne mrev2 250
Godspeed engine torque dampner 30
Nex front and rear bbk 2300
sparco evo2 seats sliders and seat pans 900
Blox 490 brushed shift **** 40
Wheels 600 (just replaced the front tires)
2 19 inch nitto 265/35 555 tires 100
mishimoto cooling plate 50
Nismo v2 front bumper 300
I will likely leave the jwt clutch and flyhweel in there as well as the extended lugs and wheel spacers because it will be a sob to get out.
As far as the audio **** goes I will probably keep it all but If someone wants the door pods I can throw them in if you wanna buy something else!
The engine grounding kit I will likely keep and put into whatever z car I plan to get after I get a good price on an rb26 or find one already swapped into a car.

Well had tomorrow off to pick up my new couch, only to get a call earlier in the day saying that the couch got damaged. Some idiot who was unpackaging it cut it with his box cutter knife and cut the leather... So now they're sending another one on Thursday.....

I can pretty much guarentee the one up here is smaller. The motorplex itself can only hold a certain # of cars, which they continue to try and expand every year but there's only so much space. Some of the classic domestics cars get a little reduntant, but other then that, I would say the show impresses me almost every time. Of course, there's always a few cars that should have never even been allowed in.

Greg, let me know about coming over to help you out with the Z. I'll just drive on over with mine and have a mini mod meet.
Emad, what kind of work does your wife want? What's her degree in? PM if you want. I'm just curious and maybe direct you.
Maybe I read it wrong, Lance. Either way, I'll probably miss the early morning meet.

THe altima is auto. It has been my daily for a bit. gave it to my sister for a couple years when i bought my mazda3 Hatch, but moving here didnt make sense with 2 car payments, so i took the altima back and she took over the hatch.
I'll PM you guys about Kasey's background. THanks!

lets not do the whole "divided" thing where the z's have to park on the opposite side of the g's. next to each other would be cool.
Par, I also posted your sale stuff on the MN g FB page and am getting decent interest. I am linking them to this page so you may get PM's... if that's cool.
