Sadly no  

 

Tomorrow I gotta change oil and put new belt on, new sub fuse, and I might try to swing getting those stainless brake lines on so I'm pretty much booked

Rip,  even if we can head down straight to you?

I still see myself picking up a refurbished X360 for all the old titles, but a PS4 if I was to buy a new console.

 

I just hope the next Forza title on PC (FM7) isn't so borked. The last patch messed with physics related crashing, and made it worse. 

i'd get a ps4 because all of my friends have a ps4, and i'd feel left out if i got an xbox, even though that would mean i would miss out on forza games for sure.

If they imported it to the US, it would probably cost a lot more than those, since, as far as I'm aware, Renault doesn't have factory in North America.

well, couldn't they share a factory with nissan, since they build in america and they are allied with nissan? and afaik, the civic isn't even made in the us either, it's made in england, ever since the ep2 civic.

i would come meet up, but i'm 2 states over. i don't think it's worth the drive, unless you guys ever end up coming to california and pass through the valley.

see above.

Basically this whole month is kinda out the window because my friend is having eye surgery and I'm gonna help him recover then holiday crap starts after that.

ooh. rough.  I have a friend who had a four-wheeling accident and broker her jaw and a bunch of teeth, and she's having surgery to get the broken teeth pulled and replaced with implants. This is happening on Monday. the sucky part is the fact that she won't be able to eat solid foods for like 2 months.

[terrytek]

Just now, vinyldash303 said:

Well Oregon is halfway in between WA and Cali. Might plan a West Coast meet at this rate.

i say come to san fran and meet up. great place to meet. or san jose. the car atmosphere there is huge.

[carguy86]

Nose update: not broken!

 

Also: i set a lap time of 59.9 seconds around vallelunga (club) with the wrc corolla in assetto corsa!

That sucks. My friend is having corrective surgery but hes doing the method that recovers slower. So his vision will be impaired for 3 weeks at least.

I forgot you were halfway down Cali, not like in the northern third of cali.

yeah, there ain't a lot of people up in the upper third of cali. it's mostly central and southern cali that have most of the people. up north its mostly mountain.

too much trash talking their football teams. 

[techswede]

Checked flight prices for fun (Thought i could use a bit of my savings to crash the meet and surprise the americans in this thread)

$1000.. + A 15 hour and 35 minute flight there and 29 hour flight home.. Fuck that. 

Made the mistake of checking rental cars first too.. Would've liked to try out the Caddy CTS

this is possibly THE stupidest reason to be banned from california. besides, how would they know if you're banned from california if you just drive into california? there aren't state border checks, so i doubt they'll know.
