We'll be meeting at lakeline mall parking lot in front of the automotive section of sears at 2:00 and then going to eat some sushi at Mizu on 620 and lakeway. That part of the lot is usually empty. It's a beautiful cruise down there, so I thought it would be nice to roll as a pack.

Jake, I'm willing to bet that it was the GG MR we looked at a couple of days ago. By the way, how is that apartment search coming? I was thinking that you might want to widen your range due to the fact that you want to be in a safe neighborhood with your daughters visiting and having a peace of mind is something that can't be substituted. Also, this weather sucks by the way...!

If it's the one that was located on Rancier, I checked it out with Shawn and Jake a couple of days ago. It was/is in better shape than the Yellow EVO they were selling. I personally like how the Turbo XS RFL BOV is set up and tried taking a few pictures with my camera phone that came out like crap. If this is the same EVO and you have a spare second, I'd like to take some better pictures to make sure that I completely understand the set up. From the looks of things, it was taken care of but without putting it on the highway and checking the response under full boost, you really can't tell. The turbo timer had a funny set up as it made all three lights (tarmac, gravel, etc.) come on at the same time. I'm not sure what the cause of this is and maybe a simple battery re-set would do the trick. The rest of the car looked fine. Jake and Shawn might have more to add.

Saw a GG X yesterday near the Killeen "Mall". He revved and kept driving. No deuce or nod from him.

The Car Lot says that they bought it at auction in florida. Overall it needs some work to get it running properly but it did sound and look a little better than the LY that was also sitting on the lot. As long as he invests some money into it and didn't simply buy it for the HUGE BOV that was on it he's set.
I've received quite a few compliments where people have actually followed me to a parking spot just to say "nice car." This happen to anyone else around this area?

I've ended up raising my Base Price to find something decent, which I havn't yet. I'm looking for something gated (rare, but they are there) and covered parking if possible. There's a few new complexes on the edges of Killeen that I'm checking out today. Peace of mind with my little girls is always necessary. Saw a GG X yesterday near the Killeen "Mall".

Yeah, Can't wait to get there and take it for a spin again. My brother has a 97 GSX Spyder he's finishing the build on. He should have it done by the time I get there. We'll take that one out and break it in too.
