    It's been a while

    Most of you probably won't remember me, but I used to be a regular a few years back. This is my car:












    And here she sits, aired out for the last time, before I started removing the bags yesterday...



    ...sadly, she was totaled a few days ago with my brother driving (not a scratch on him, thank God). So it's time to move on. I'm hoping to pick up a silverstone mark IV GTI tomorrow and start carving out a new notch.

    Where at in NC are you? I'll be moving up to Asheville in a few days and it would be cool to find some locals.

    Yeah, he's fine... safe cars. Accident wasn't his fault either. What was your account back then?

    Yup, damn shame, but I'm so happy the insurance co. totaled it because I did not want it back now. I'm very excited to get back into the scene. Didn't end up getting that silverstone; dude wanted 10k. But I should have a reflex gti 1.8t by next week.

    Indeed it has. Your name is vaguely familar, but glad to be back on vortex, at least for the time being.

    No way dude; I'm in Asheville... at least for 3-4 more weeks. I'll be moving to ATL at the end of August. I've been out of the scene for a while cuz I was away at school, so I kinda lost touch with all the Asheville people. There are a few around though.

    Thanks for all the kind words guys.
