Matt can show you how bad of a driver you really are. He does that to me on a regular basis!

Who all was out at C&C on the 4th? Saw a few S's but didn't recognize too many of them.
I was there, I drive the 05 Rio parked further back in the lot. I bought the car in May but this was my first chance to check out C&C since owning it. Are there normally more S's that go? It seemed a little sparse...or maybe just scattered. Maybe we should cone off like the Astons or lay claim like the Mustags lol
Saw your car. I think the 4th had attendance a little down. I don't think anyone actually cones off spots except maybe the sponsors over by Mattie's. But a lot of the groups do get there early enough to congregate. I guess we're too lazy as an ownership-base, lol.

I was there! I also locked my keys in my trunk for the first time...haha

I think I saw your 05 Rio, with the CR rims right? Looked super clean! Got some pictures of a Silverstone AP2 with a hardtop, idk who's it was...look great! I also meet a Mark, couldn't remember his username..really cool guy!

^I was standing right beside you when you realized you locked your keys in your trunk, lol. I think I even looked over and said , "Ohhhhh, that sucks." While you were on the phone. Which by the way, ohhhh, that sucks.

Hahah! The way that you seemed to be nervously fumbling around with the locked center console and looking in the interior of the car I couldn't decide if you were the owner or if you were trying to steal something, lol. I was watching you like a hawk for a bit until I heard your phone call.

Were you able to call someone who had an extra key or did you have to get a locksmith out there?

Nice! Welcome to S2000 ownership and to Charlotte (1.5 years late). Which Lexus dealer do you work for?

Thank you! I'm really excited about the car. I need to have the windows tinted and I would love to find a classy headunit that has Bluetooth and supports iPod connectivity. I drive 72 miles round trip each day and I refuse to listen to the radio.

Here it is







Here's where she sleeps. This was a huge project that took forever to complete, but the garage is finally painted! We bought the house back in March and redoing the garage is something that I HAD to do.
