Hey! Long time no talk. No evacuating in the Raleigh area. There were evacuations in the Wilmington area.

We've had a few flickers at my house (also in the Fuquay area) but the power has stayed on. Fingers crossed!

There's been a few nice ones for sale recently. I just picked up an RS a few weeks ago.

How have I never seen you around here then?? I'm right off 55 on the edge of Holly Springs and Fuquay. I saw an evo x body style the other day at mcdonalds, but couldn't tell if it was an evo or base model. It was grey with black trunk / hood. We need to get a meet going because I never see any evos around here

I've only had it out twice since I got it back home haha. Took it out to a C&C 2 weeks ago. I live off of Old Stage. I'm always up for a meet and can generally get away for a while on the weekend.

A couple of us are trying to organize a trip back out to the Dragon in the Spring.. potentially in mid-April. Been too long since I've been out there.

I went to CBS Mitsubishi in Durham because that was the closest Mitsubishi dealership to me. They took longer than they told me it would take, by about 2 hours.

My recall also still needs to be done. I'm actually going to unplug that airbag for now just to be safe. Just waiting on the resistor to show up to hopefully avoid the SRS light. I don't know that there's a Mitsu dealer around here that I trust w/ the car :-/

I did get a box in the mail yesterday though. Apparently when you buy a new RS, Ford sends you an Owner's Kit. It comes with a VIN certificate, a blu ray disc, and a shift knob trophy/paper weight/thing. It also comes with a one-day free admission to Ford's Octane Academy which would be really cool if not for the fact that it's in Utah. Doubt I'll find myself in Utah anytime soon though.










I have been really thinking hard about getting that car next year actually...

Looks like there's a C&C in Wake Forest on Saturday. Might go up for that.

Actually sold the RS to get back into an Evo. If you're going to DD it, the RS is great. If you're going to have it purely as a weekend toy, I prefer the Evo.

Across from where the KFC used to be? Does that Advance have a big enough parking lot for any kind of meet?
