drat, I was really hoping to have enough cash on hand to make it to the next NEAI get together, but that isn't going to happen. Oh well, always next year.

I actually only took two pictures the whole time I was there that haven't already disappeared into the ether, but any goons that follow my snaps probably saw them.

I do have this shot of alternate.eago's absolutely immaculate AW11 MR2 (no rust, anywhere), with bonus Adiabatic.

Holy poo poo I dint realize you guys were going there for just the day, jesus. Thats funny as hell.

Same, I figured they'd be staying for a night and then heading back. Longass road trips are great, especially in the winter, but maybe I'm insane. Glad you guys made it back ok.

Noise Complaint posted:

We have two bags of thermite, seventy-five pounds of grillin' meats, five tanks of propane, a gas cylinder half-full of nitrous, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored rust buckets, trucks, jeeps, beaters, and muscle cars... Also, Ozmiander's quart of tequila, a handle of Beam, Tim's fridge of beer, a spool of flux core, and two dozen Sperglords. Not that we need all that for NEAI, but once you get locked into a serious rust collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worries me is the nitrous. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a nitrous binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Oh my god that was the most fun I've had all year, maybe longer.

Huge thanks to Tim for hosting and generally being a super cool dude, btw I left you a little something in the lounge room for your troubles ;)

It was really great to meet all of you guys, everyone was just as awesome in person as they are online (or even cooler).

Down here I get loving swarmed with mosquitoes all summer (and I'm allergic so even small bites swell and itch like mad) and packed bug spray accordingly but I didn't have a single bite all weekend :shrug:

At this rate the only way the Vantasy is making it to NEAI is on a flatbed. Apparently it's loving impossible to find a running chevy truck in this area (or at least, impossible to get the sellers to loving ANSWER THEIR GODDAMN EMAIL/TEXT/PHONE).

Also yeah, everyone is going to be too busy doing party poo poo to do any hardcore wrenching once we get there.

The weed storage bin top center? Yeah. Tan/brown interior, dash pocket is yours if you want it.

no I don't smoke weed, it just looks like a good storage spot

Cool, I'm not real picky on the color. It's also usually easier to remove the center vents/pocket as an entire unit than to just try and detach the door.

Also, it's probably the worst place for a weed stash ever, actually :v: the A-pillar trim is better :ssh:

Same as my SA name. Might be a IP or hostmask ban (ends in hsd1.ma.comcast.net)

It should work now, we had a blanket ban on anyone in the #bots channel apparently.
