I'll be out of commission for a while until it gets repaired.

I hope I get it back in time for 86expo

Evan, sorry to hear that man.
I remember curbing a wheel in the first month I had it and I was sooo mad. This is even worse so hopefully you get your baby back soon.

Ya I also curbed one of my stock wheel pretty bad haha took a good gouge out of the rim haha. Oh well...

Awesome with the fast stickers Andre I'll take my 2 red Friday night most likely

I am sorry to hear the bad luck you had Evan but at least no one is hurt. Dont feel bad it will be all repaired soon.

Hopefully none of our new members have their cars on the Brockville derailed trains!

At least 2 car carriers were derailed among the 20 railcars that skipped off the tracks.

ONR is great but since your car is wearing FINEST, I would use CarPro Reset and have your Cancun foam party

Yeah, screw warranty card ! As long as i keep using reload car looks mint

And Cancun foam party in my driveway tomorrow, everybody's invited

Weird - I had a dream last night that that happened to me.

As I am a nervous traveler and like to have everything planned out prior to setting off on a trip, I have been poking around the Manassas area close to PTuning for suitable Hotels.

Unless I have missed something, no one on the other threads seems to have settled on hotels in VA - and I think some are going all the way to VA Beach(?) for the Saturday race/track events.

There are two hotels really close to the PTuning show location:
Super8 Manassas and Best Western Manassas - under 3.5mi away actually.
Super 8 is $75; BW is $99 - that is for refundable reservations, 2 Queen beds, non-smoking.

As far as I know the Ottawa group, will go from Ottawa to Carlisle (7.5hrs) Fri Aug 8; do something Sat Aug 9 in around Carlisle(?) and drive to Manassas on Sat Aug 9 (3hrs), stay in Manassas Sat Aug 9; go to PTuning Show & Shine Sun Aug 10, drive back to Carlisle (3hrs) stay in Carlisle Sun night; continue home to Ottawa Monday Aug 11 (7.5hrs).

2, 2x Queen rooms are already booked by me in Carlisle.

I am planning on booking the same at the Super8 mentioned above unless someone objects or can get a better deal somewhere else.

I want to close on this sooner than later.

Well it always depends on you guys.. But I could book an Hampton Inn 10 miles (35 minutes from PTunning following google map) for 29$ a night (2 dbl beds and such). It all depends if you guys think 70$ a night is worth being closer, i personally dont mind either.

[Simon99]

And I can also get two rooms in pretty much any Hilton branch in Carlisle from 29$-39$ (if you want to cancel your reservation @FRS_Ken)

Looking at the finances, after paying my deductible it going to eat my trip budget so I am going to miss it this year

I have some good and bad news from today
Good: Vibration seems to have disappeared. Don't ask how, I don't know.

Bad: Was taking care of the bugs on my bumper during lunch, and one bug seems super hard to get off. My pressure washer has a really high pressure on it and it wasn't removing all the guts. Whatever. Spray my bug remover and start scrubbing, bastard still won't come off. I look closer and it's scratches...
Last Sunday at the gas station I work at two stupid fucking kids decided it was a great idea to ride their bike and skateboard between my car and the gutter. Well... As you can assume I have a scratch down to metal, and a few not so deep ones. I'm so pissed. I don't the car will get scratched and dinged since it's my daily and I put a metric shit-ton of KMs on it. But a month and a half into ownership this is not what I want
I'm so anal about this car being spotless I've considered having the panel painted. Next time I head to MTL I'll stop by my friend's place and see what we can do.

ON TOP OF IT ALL THE CAR WON'T EVEN DO A WHEEL STAND!!!! What is this bullshit? Do I have to do the pedal dance thing or something? I feel like the car just cuts power a second after I get on the brakes.

My S13 with ~200hp at the crank did em just fine. Maybe the turbo helped. Maybe the rear brakes were worse.

I don't know. I guess this really isn't the car for me...
