    Meet in TN

    Since Louisville and Nashville are only 2 1/2 hours apart, I just wanted to let you guys know there has also been discussion of a Louisville, KY meet in September or October in case you hadn't seen it. Dates haven't been set yet, but there's a thread in the Midwest section.

    Walking out to my garage

    Same things here. There was a lot of head shaking when I bought a 15 year old car with over 180K miles and in need of a little love. Repaired upholstery, new wheels, and countless things under the hood replaced, and now I'm getting some approval nods and there will be more when she's painted...

    a/t to m/t swap???

    This is something that has been done quite a few times already and there is always new interest as well - myself included. Since it's such an area of interest and something that generates a lot of similar threads is there any reason the links above, if not a new complete writeup, shouldn't be...

    Can anybody top this?

    Transplant matches can be heartbreaking situations sometimes. I know someone who had non-hodgekin's lymphoma, and neither parent a match. The worst part was that his two siblings matched each other - not him. It was tough on everybody, but a match was eventually found! Keep your spirits...

    VER IMPORTANT I AM BIDING ON THIS ITEM ON EBAY

    Suprahero's right. I missed a great buy on an Acura last winter and that was with my best bid submitted literally 20 seconds before the end of the auction! Cut it as close as you can with your max bid to keep from driving the bids up.

    really bad shake

    It was obvious just by pulling the caliper and trying to move the piston. It wouldn't budge. It was pretty easy to pull the caliper - 2 bolts and slide it off the disc, pinch off the brake line with a vice grip and unscrew the caliper from the line. (Putting the calipers/pads back together...

    really bad shake

    I had a similar problem recently. Shaking through the seat, and it would come and go (days in between sometimes) at higher speeds, and it would really shake when braking. Since I never had any shake when braking when the vibration wasn't there I thought I had ruled out the brakes and replaced...

    The idiot mechanic strikes again.........

    I'm going to butt in with what might be a really ignorant statement, so let me know where I'm off the mark. I just don't get the "need to have a shop with lots of Supra experience" concept or a shop that won't work on a Supra for that matter. Five or ten minutes with a TSRM gives all the...

    So turns out they aint that fast....

    Beating a Ferrari has GOT to feel good. After a ride in your car, I'm not surprised you gave him a good run - it's a beast when that big turbo spools up. Congrats.

    Photoshop My Ride Please! - Two Tone MKIII?

    That burgundy bottom isn't bad at all, and the hood ridge looks really good. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet if it makes you feel any better suprahero. :icon_bigg I really want to do something just a little different but complimentary to the MKIII. Red is just so generic, and...

    Hey Joel W

    Yes, childish. Exander, I don't see many people getting all pissy over this sort of thing and intentionally starting shit with people around here very often. Throw something offensive up, deal with people not liking it. Get over it.

    Photoshop My Ride Please! - Two Tone MKIII?

    No hard feelings here. That is exactly why I asked. I asked around work too, and it's an amazing split. I would've thought yea or nea for the most part.

    Photoshop My Ride Please! - Two Tone MKIII?

    Uh oh. Is silence acceptance or is it just too gross to comment on? I'm really curious what the concensus is on the pic in post #8.
