Sounds like it's time to schedule the mid-south meet up John!
It sounds like the NIA is looking at Branson for the annual car meet next year. I just went to Branson a few weeks ago and it's a really nice looking locale. That and some of the roads in AR appear they could be some fun.

So I'm pretty mad at myself right now....tapped someones bumper pulling out of a parking lot yesterday 
It's been almost 20 years since my last accident 
Making a right turn, I thought they were going to go, because they had a huge gap, they hesitated and didn't go, I was a little too quick to jump thinking I could get out too. My passenger side corner hit their drivers side corner. No damage that we could see to their 525i.
Went and got a quote over lunch. $650 + they will probably need to replace the headlight since it is scratched and a tab is broken on it, to the tune of $1100. I have a $500 deductible, so no sense paying out of pocket.
On the plus side, I scheduled the appointment for a week I'll be traveling. Drop the car off before I go, pick it up the next day. Still, logistics will suck since wifey will have to taxi me to the airport and I'll have to have my parents pick me up since nobody can drive a manual to get my car before I get back.

This came in, hope to install it this week, plans are to paint it unless it looks really good in matte black, also very likely swap mesh for some thicker ABS stuff to match lower grille, and lastly stick on the Fuji emblem

Parked next to an IPL coupe yesterday. I thought it was somewhat odd, since it was in a "family" spot and I cant imagine getting car seats in the back of a coupe. Of course there were no car seats or any signs of kids 
First IPL ive seen up close. Exhaust tips are kinda big....love the wheels....wasn't feeling the infiniti pinstripes.

"family spot"? Never heard of those. Must be a regional thing.

Agreed on the tips... way too big. Almost truck-like. Hmm, you know what looks nice? I saw two Acura TL Type-S yesterday in the movie theater parking lot. Those round quad-tips are very appealing. (Although a whole lot of BS for a single-pipe exhaust.)
"family spot"? Never heard of those. Must be a regional thing.

It shows a person with a kid. Frankly, one would think there would be a higher probability of getting a door ding in one of those spots. I love parking in the "fuel efficient vehicle" spots

When thinking "next car", I'm pretty settled that it will be a Coupe (2+4). It might be an automatic transmission, because I'm just getting old. And if it's an AT, then it will likely be AWD. I suspect the newly designed Q60Sx will be high on my list. And since no one has seen it yet, I based that on nothing whatsoever.
Anyway, that's so many years away (like 6 to 8), that it's all just random thoughts right now.

A quarter past stripped
Yep. No denying the GT-R. Helluva car.

Unless Infiniti pulls out the stops and makes a REALLY nice coupe then I will be looking into the Audi. It's so far away that I am really speaking out of my @ss at this point. LOL

I have exactly the car I want, right now. The condition, the design, the low miles, the way it's been modified so far... it's all come together into a sweet-spot of awesome. With ample plans to modify it throughout the full lifetime of ownership.
