Went to support an S2000 guy I know as he piloted the first KTM Crossbrow GT4 on US soil.
I recently moved back to FL from KY, and I took advantage of having a garage today by rotating my tires after the 900 mile treck. I decided to clean and wax my powder coated rims inside and out, adjusted the rear drum breaks, cleaned & waxed the drums, waxed the black lugs, heavily scrubbed the tires, removed all the rocks stuck in the treads, wiped down the interior & polished my muffler tip. I also cleaned the exterior yesterday & still need to vacuum the interior tomorrow.
Ahh, how therapeutic a day on the car can be.

Lol. I lived there for 2 years so I can understand why. There is plenty of reason available. Whats yours?
My worst drive is Florida. Have spent 12 hours on the highway at a time and you're still in the f**king state.
And that's coming from someone who used to drive from Chicago to Key West regularly.
Although on our trip from Tallahassee to NYC, there was one state that seemed to take quite a while, can't remember which. Most were boring just cruising up the road until D.C. & NYC

South Florida traffic is awful. Im originally from Miami and people cant drive, dont pay attention, are incredibly rude, and can be totally nuts besides the congestion beingbvirtually constant day and night.
Congestion isn't too bad where I'm at, but eventually I want to move downtown and I already know that's going to be hell in the morning and evening.
Today wasn't too bad, only came close to being hit once this time when some idiot ran their light.
Wanted to be firm in keeping my turn going into a lane but also had to play it safe as I'd rather not have someone swipe the BMW like the S2000 got. Still came out on top, even after honking a good 10-20 times and they just weren't getting the picture until I pretty much came to a complete stop blocking both lanes forcing them to halt. I win.

I dont miss that game at all. What area do you live in?
You may want to reconsider moving to downtown with all the upcoming changes. Downtown traffic will only get massuvely worse from here on out what with the mega mall & casino theyre going to build. With downtown being all narrow one-way streets and no room to expand them without tearing down every single block, its a recipe for distaster. NY rush hour will be a cake walk by comparison.

That's Memphis traffic in a nutshell. I honestly didn't mind my drive from Memphis to Cincinnati the several times I did it. Nashville, Louisville, Cincy, done.
Yeah, thats a smooth drive. KY drivers, as a whole, are just too passive or ignorant given that they dont know what real traffic is like. I always laughed when Kentuckians complained about traffic and rush hour, sonetimes being 5-10 minutes late. B*tch, please. In Miami youre lucky if traffic ONLY makes you 20 minutes late.
Right now I live in Palmetto Bay with an office by MIA that I hardly ever use.
Planned on moving to Marina Blue or one of those 4 as they're right by the 836 for whenever I need to swing by the office for things. Wanted to do that for a year to see how I like condo living but also at least have a view compared to where my friends who live in Brickell and don't face the water. Would be out long before they really do much of anything as far as the World Center goes and still before they finish Brickell City Center or whatever it is they're putting over there.
Still interested in getting a place in Key West again as I miss living there, another in Tallahassee for the same reason + FSU football.

First day back at my old job. Going in to the shop to figure out whats new and get reacquainted.
Pretty much exactly how it went
Man I never come on here anymore. What's up everybody?
Gonna be a busy weekend. Working 7-5 tomorrow, may end up staying till 7 to make up some hours. Then Friday morning, 6am heading down to north Carolina with Dominick for the annual Attack the Dragon meet. Gonna be fun, and I'll get to see what this car can do finally.

What's Attack the Dragon? Sounds like some sort of fun twisty course lol.
There's a car meet at the Tilted Kilt this weekend so I might stop down there for a bit. No cruise involved though.. which is lame because this is about to be peak foliage season.
The dude whose been running the annual H-T meets for the past 6 years around here suddenly vanished. Lameee.
