How is there not one of these yet? Now that there are plenty of us around Charlotte, let's formally introduce ourselves to each other and use this thread for local chatter and postwhoring. I'll start... feel free to share whatever you like about yourself.

Anybody got anything exciting going on this week/weekend? I've been in/out of town for work this week but trying to button up my S for tuning this weekend. Probably heading over to Wally's (DaGou) house to help him out with his never ending build as well. One of my close friends is closing on a house this week too so I'm sure I'll be helping him move again.

 

I'm also from Charlotte originally. Moved away to Wilmington for school but moved back. In mooresville currently

 

well we all know each other in here so far...lol

Nothing really planned anytime soon. My sister is getting married in a couple weeks, and all my time has been swallowed up helping with all the plans and logistics. Unfortunately I've kinda given up on modding the car for the time being until my wife and I get some debts paid down and fix a few long-running issues with her car. I'd also like to finish paying mine off too

As such, I've kinda not shown up to any meets lately. I'll start back probably September-ish.

Bought a house in Huntersville a few months ago so just relaxing and enjoying being settled down for a while, and the fact i finally have a garage to call my own

 

Also - this weather has been crazy ever since I moved here. I moved July 1st last year and it was 105 degrees when I pulled up in my moving truck. Then we got barely a snow, winter was fairly pleasant and now this summer has been nothing but Florida-style rain!

 

Anybody been to this BWR place I'm hearing about in the ballantyne area? Burgers wings and rings or something... said they have like 69¢ wings one night? I'm feeling a Charlotte area meet there one night.

 

Kevin - What are you trying to do with Porsche? Sales?

Matt - Are you going to come out to the next Wednesday night event or zMax next weekend? Its time to get your feet wet man.

 

i def wanna try and make it to the wednesday night one at least, did you go to the last one and if so how was it?
