haha damn man! Luckily, I have a garage spot for my car!
And NOW, so do I haha. But it was actually due to the previous owner and his love for covering the entire interior (carpet and all) with CHEAP fabric that dried out and fell apart very easy. SO right now the inside of the car is spread throughout my 2 car garage, leaving my daily to sit outside.

I'm up in Surprise now. Off 163rd, about 7minutes from SpeedWorld. If you guys want to meet up, come out to UTI on 11/13 for our NASCAR pre-party; or 12/5 11-2pm for a HIN pre-party. 12/5 is probably better b/c it is a Saturday. I'll have my car at both. I went out to SpeedWorld this morning. We were doing the UTI/MMI student vs staff drag day; our version of Home Coming. I took the car, but it was falling on its face in third from 4800rpm to 5500rpm still so I didn't get any passes in. I did get some 110 from Chuck-O, so I'll change the plugs and see if that fixes it.

Hey Stream, You want to meet sometime? I just want to meet with some 3s riders and just chill...I live in the southwest tip of phoenix and I know youre in Buckeye so ill meet you half ways....I work on the new Red Robin on Bullard and Mcdowell so maybe if we go chill and eat there I could get some discounts for all of us...I met another 3kgt owner off the forum and he's down to meet other owners....

I'd be up for that sometime for sure. The 3000 will have to stay home as it's not legal nor do I want to try to drive it yet but I can drive my Mustang out...I'll wear my flame suit to the meet. Haha. But hey I have to go, time for me to leave work. I'll check back here in like an hour though. Later. Tyler
oh thats koo...I plan on taking the stealth and the 3000gt either way to where ever we go...only because i just want to add cars to the group. The stealth is under the 60k service n i am struggling to take the crankshaft pulley screw out, so Ill take a while with that...well thats where Im at so any 3s owners can go over and get some discounts while im working. (im a cook/prep guy/dishwasher/busser so If im in the back ill get some free food) just ask for Robert
