Goodbye accord, hello b00st...and other news
#1
this past month has been the busiest month of my life. i've had to make the 7 (6.5 for me :twistedSmilehour trip down to atlanta over three times since graduation to either house hunt, job hunt, or interview, while living out of a suitcase at my almost-sister-in-law's house. getting my insurance for the car has been a PITA and i still have to find out about health and teef insurance depending on what my job will give me. argh!

anyway, looks like i'll be emulating my favorite polo pimp Aaron, and getting into car sales. as of right now i'm getting things figured out at Cary Paul Ford, a pretty sweet dealership right outside the perimeter of atlanta. they have a blue on white GT!!! shwing!!! anyway i'll do this job for a while to make a few bucks while i find a job i really want in industrial design.

after packing up a budget rental truck all day, and filling both my car and Jen's car with shit we don't need and stuff we should throw away, my dad signed the title to his A4 over to me. it was a very big day, not only because this is my first real "move", but because i love this car dearly and so does my dad. its been his baby and him letting me take it means alot to me, especially since i don't really deserve it in my mind. i have alot of sentiment built up in the car, seeing as how it was the car i learned to drive a manual tranny in....it certainly makes me smile to drive it. i'll be paying my dad back slowly over the years, although it won't be market value since it's sort of a gift in many ways. i have alot of plans for the car, but for the time being i just want to learn its many german quirks and enjoy it in the state it's in, since it's more than fast enough for me.

the accord's fate is unknown, although it will be sold soon. a guy at my dad's work is sweating it so he will most likely snatch it up. it was a terrific car for too many reasons to list. i will miss it for every reason except that it was a slow pig :lol: just turned 42k too....they grow up so fast.

gotta be on the road at 7 tommorow, blah. at least now i can join in on everyone else's conversations about how much they hate traffic. hotlanta hoooooo!

the b00st is spreading :twisted:

Congrats on all accounts Scottt. I know you've been looking forward to this day for quite some time. Good to hear that you've found yourself a job. Are you going to be a salesman down there, or filling another position at the dealership? Now we have access to ford parts at cost from you, and Toyota parts from me. We need to get the rest of the club in on this. Again, congrats and make sure you stay on the forum and keep in touch.

It's good to hear you're keeping on your feet - your new car's sexy as all get out.

Good luck finding that industrial design job, too.

Bro...congrats and best of luck from the bottom of my MM branded heart. Once you get settled someplace...I think we should have some sort of MM road trip to go down and see you and the wifey.

Next time I fly through ATL I'll hit you up for sure bro.

And umm...pop one for me. ha.

thanks for the kind words fellas. car sales isn't the best money if you don't do well, but i think i can make it happen for a while. at least it will help me overcome any shyness.

Feersty - if i can sneak a camera into that place i'll take a picture. the car is lovely....the entire interior is still in plastic wrap and the brake rotors practically don't even have a scratch on them.

Aaron - i'll pop the shirt but no garuntees that i can do it in style.

to the rest of you guys - if you are rolling through atl. then you have to stop by. fridge stocked with brews and road atlanta nearby...you know you want to.

thanks! originally the 150 :twisted: its currently at 200 hp / 235 lb. ft. with the GIAC chip. next engine mod will be a decent intercooler though, bc at those numbers the stock K03 turbo is a giant hairdryer.

the pre-00 cars are the 150's. they are actually easier to tune despite having less power stock, due to drive-by-cable and not drive-by-wire. and the lower insurance is nicer too (they don't have to know what power i really have)

color is melange. that's audi speak for the most bland khaki beige blandness in blandville....although on a good day it looks vaguely silver-ish. i don't like it at all, but frankly i blend into traffic very well, which is ultimately more important to me than looking hip.

As long as you arent going 130, exhaust/driveshaft/dead hookers falling off your car, crashing or threatening to jump off a crane you're blending into traffic in ATL. Its pretty much a free-for-all.

hahaha, well at least i don't have to worry about the dead hooker i can't seem to get dislodged from under my car.

i went to get my title/tags/liscense today....can't believe they don't inspect your car, they only do emmissions. i guess it explains why i saw some 70's beat-ass chevy pickup drving down the road with the door half open, bungeed to the cab. at least he's not polluting!

Does that mean it will finally be tagged legally?
