Anyways I finally jumped the wagon like everyone else and tried it for the first time yesterday. Worked really good..had my paint glowing afterwords. I'm impressed.


That no-rinse stuff works really well. I can clean my z in the garage with about 2 gallons of water. Pretty nifty.

Anyone wanna buy my trailer? I really don't see myself needing it much anymore. It's just taking up space. Figured I'd throw it out to you guys first before I throw it on the marketplace section.

Trav is like me. We just like our ride to look good. I don't think auto-x is worth it. They need to have girls in skimpy bikinis to pick up the cones so we can run 5000 times. Than I'd reconsider

This will come with the hitch. Just have to swap the main bumper beam under the bumper cover out. Eric and Brandon can tell you all about that lol we did it a while back. This is the old hitch style though so you have to make a small notch in the bottom of the bumper or it presses up on it. You can't see the notch but Eric and I agreed that it wasn't worth doing it to his car since he was just wanting to borrow the trailer for a weekend.

Yep. Notching the bumper is required with that style hitch. Otherwise, it would be mine.

I'd go if my car was running..


I do agree that autox is quite expensive when you look at actual seat time vs time spent + "work" that you have to do. You get a lot more for your money with track days but there are pros and cons to each other than just value.


BTW, how much for the trailer?

Anyone going to the next gun show? Was thinking I might be able to find a better deal there than some of the prices I'm finding online. I see people listing guns for more than the lowest prices even as used or whatever.

Stu, I wouldn't mind going to the Dallas Market Hall gun show....you will find a better price down there than online....plus you'll save FFL fees.
And since you have your CHL, they don't need to do the background check....you just pay and walk out with your gun.

I think I'm going to try to make it to the next one. I'm looking for a more suitable pistol to conceal, have a Glock 22 RTF2 currently. I'm looking at getting a S&W M&P Sheild .40

Cool, that's exactly what I was thinking/hoping to hear. I guess it's hard to compare prices online since you still have to pay for the FFL transfer and all that. A lot of the face to face sales I see just mention that they will sell to another CHL holder only, so I'm in good shape there.

I've been wanting an XD-m 3.8 compact 9mm for awhile. Toyed with the idea of the XD-s, but decided I'd rather have more rounds and sacrifice a little bit of size.

If you guys are interested in going let me know. I think I saw it's the second weekend in April. I haven't been to one since I was much younger and was just there for a hunter's safety course, so I'd like to go with people who know there way around a bit better haha.

I want a handgun. Been wanting one for a while. Is s&w sd40ve any good? It fits my budget and I've seem to read decent reviews about them.

For you guys first one to give me $150 takes it. Trailer, hitch, tool box and spare tire come with it. It needs a wiring harness plug. $4 at harbor freight or radio shack.

That sounds like a frigging steal.
