soooo far

EuroSunday is back on the 18th too. So many short notice events.

yup yup but i plan on going even if none of you guys go haha

You should see steven from SloVW tearing it up with his r32.

is it blue?

yeah mk4. He had the silver 337 gti before.

Gabe do you Know a guy by the name of Sam Diaz? Has a Red GTI and had a white Jetta.

LOL Sam is a GOOD friend of mine. How do you know him?

he banged his sister.

Our moms are best friends, our families are really close. We all pretty much grew up together.

Nice! yeah he's always out at the meets. He made some bomb salsa the other night. :drool:

lol, yeah they ALWAYS have bomb food at their party's n stuff.

No one else going? Man this is gonna be a busy but fun weekend for me.

autocross was fun, but there were tons of people so each run took a while. My best time is 59 seconds which kind of sucked since there were turbo'ed miatas and race prepped evos in my class which got times like 50 seconds.

sounds really fun.
wish i were there.

aww man!!! i wish i could of gone!!! I want to drive my car to its limits!!

I should have cruised. That would have been fun. I've never auto crossed b4 tho.
