Nah I didn't make it to the last Wednesday one, my car was still down. Andrew and Will went though. It rained like monsoon style for a few minutes during the event and then I think it was pretty wet the rest of the night (that's what she said) so I'm not sure if it was enjoyable or not. I hate trying to run my car in the rain, to the point where I avoid it as much as possible.

I do plan on coming to the Wednesday night event next week and definitely to zMax next Saturday.

Wow, intense. I will eventually have to go to Germany for my work for at least two weeks sometime this year. Everyone I work with has gone. I don't think I could make that huge of a move to a different country. I should *hopefully* get to go to Japan at some point too.

So I drove my car around the block today for the first time in a while with the SC hooked back up and GAWD this blower and BOV are so loud. I really have to get a different BOV or change to the recirculating version of the Tial that I have.

Has anyone taken the insulation off the underside of their hood? If so, and you still have it, can I get that from you for a few bucks? Lol. I lost mine to a fuel leak last year, and I think it would help to block out some of the chaos noise from my engine bay.

Japan is pretty rad. Been there like 9 times. I don't usually have much problem moving long distances. I kinda moved to Charlotte on a whim because it was convenient lol

Where do you work Will? I used to do almost the same thing; mine were bulk material conveyors. Are yours like roller conveyors or what?
