Yeah no kidding. Talking about that, My car is driving all funny since saturday for some reason. Well at first, A vacuum line came off so i put it back thinking that was the problem. Go drive the car again and still driving funny. So check the wires and one of them came off somehow. So i put it back and it drives much better offcourse but still the car doesnt seem like its boostin easy. Its like it would rather not be boosting and hesitates. Its also much louder for some reason. I know there is a lot going on but any ideas??

What do you mean the wire came off? Did you solder all your connections?

i don't think you have to pull the whole battery, just undo the connections to the battery for like 15 minutes.

btw- that golden garden place is ummmmmm- not so good. i went there last week and made rorschach tests in the bathroom later on that day.

Yeah, we need to have a meet sometime soon. What do you guys wanna do?

Are there any golfers here? Kokopelli golf course on Guadalupe and Country Club has a great driving range where you can hit off grass and into sloping hills where they have good 100/150/200 yard markers setup. Maybe we can go hit some ***** on a lazy Saturday afternoon and then go find some places to take some rolling shots.

For dining out - I just tried a new indian curry place tonight guys- it's AWESOME and i'd like to suggest that we get together for a meet at the place if you guys are all down for curry. It's called "Curry House" on Warner and Dobson. I think I'll be dining there once a week.

For lunch, I ate at a new pho joint on Ray and Kyrene called "Ha Noi Pho". It's got a freakin stream going through the middle of it with a huge room in the back for entertaining large parties. The food is pretty good but there are other pho places I wanna check out too. One of them being Dragonfly on Mill Avenue in Tempe. Another one is down on Camelback and 19th ave I think.

Sushi is always fun too. About 3 times a week I visit the friendly staff down at Celsius in Desert Ridge for lunch/dinner and sometimes breakfast to just hang out and kick it with the guys there. There are some tiny photo op areas around Desert Ridge too including a spot where the new City North is coming up.

Ideally, I'd love to get some rolling shots cruising past terminal 4 at the airport but I'm sure that'd get us pulled over pretty quick. hahaha.

But - there are some nice smooth roads in Tempe and south Scottsdale where we can get some good rolling shots.

Any other suggestions?
