[Profile] Lemonjelly - Back from the dead

[Lemonjelly]

Trust me Z I would have loved to be at the cruise, even if I hadn't sold my car I wouldn't have been able to make it though. One of my buddies proposed to his GF on sat and a different friend had his bachelor party sat night and Sunday. Def let me know the next time there is something going on and I will either grab a ride with one of the NECM member heading down or roll down in my bitching 2000 Toyota Sienna.......

Im hoping my next car isn't plagued with all the problems the accord was as well. I am not going back to the mechanic who fucked everything up and I moved out of the place I was living so that SHOULD alleviate 99% of my problems right there. I am also planning on renting some private garage space close to my apartment once I get a new car so I can keep it in there so I wont have to worry about people driving into it, opening doors into it, or anything else ass hats do.

On a different note I do have some accord things left over. If anyone is interested I have the OEM accod radio and a set of ingalls font camber kits, not looking to make any $$ on them just pay shipping.

I am looking at the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track as well as an E46 M3

both the Genesis Coupe and the M3 have 300+ and are about the same price.

A new 2012 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track MSRP's for about $31k.  If you're paying anywhere near that amount for an e46 M3, you're paying too much for it.

The e46 M3 is a fantastic car (interior is dated though), but I wouldn't expect it to be trouble free; it won't have a warranty either.  If you're OK with the maintenance costs and any costs that are associated with repair due to its age, then its a great car.  Fun to drive too!

At least you alleviated some of the problems (hopefully). Next time there's something going down, I'll shoot you a text. Maybe you can convince Mike to come out of his cave and roll with him.

I've been looking at CPO (certified pre owned) M3's and those come with a 2 year warranty and the ability to buy an extra 2 years, costs around $1200, which I would do because that would cover their Inspection 1(@30K) and 2(@ 50K) (each runs about $1200) It would also certify that the sub frame recall was taken care of as well as the emissions recalls they have had. I believe it also covers oil changes.

I would love to go the Genesis Coupe route as they are great little cars with awesome aftermarket support and fantastic warranties but I want a very particular model, 2012 3.8 Track 6MT in karussell white which so far has been impossible to find. I have spoken with almost every Hyundai dealership in MA, NH, and some of the dealerships in RI, CT and ME and no one has that car and its not possible to order it anymore. Every dealership has moved onto the 2013's which are HIDEOUS.

Z, Ive been trying to get Mike out to events for a while. Unless we have them in his home town its pretty tough to get him to roll out

That's what I hear. I think we'll have to string him up old west style and drag him to ANYTHING.

We have never had an event in my home town ass!!! I'd be glad to give you the low down on why I can't make a lot of these but, I'm sure non of you care. I actully had full intentions of coming to the last one. Had the day off and everything just so happned to hit a rock with a boat that I don't own, and the owner needed it for this weekend so it had to be fixed while I was there. Anyone who has ever delt with boat repairs can tell you how that goes.

[CrackerTeg]

Its all good man. I've dealt with boat repairs and I know full well how they're not fun. My first four years in I was a nautical grease monkey before going into electronics. Its just funny how we got you going though. 

[Lemonjelly]

C'mon Mike you know im just busting your chops. The meet I was referring to was the Hooters meet in RI.

Sucks about the boat though, did you get everything fixed?

[Mike]

Yeah It's all set I paid someone to fix it but had to be there to tow it back to the cabin. Hooters was a good time. I've been to a few out at Tim's old place (sold some asshole a pair of headlights), and out to goddard park. I guess I do stay somewhat local... My apologies I should make more of an effort to get out to some of these. Problem is that I don't have a whole lot of time available. I work about 65 - 70 hours a week between two jobs, and only see the wifeish a couple of days a week. Sunday I pretty much spend with her because it is the only day that we are both off... Well I'm off after noon but, thats about the most time off I ever get in a day.

[striktlyaccord]

:Cough: Cars for Canines meet gentlemen, July 15th. :Cough:

[Lemonjelly]

Thats good you got the boat fixed! No apologies necessary Mike, I think everyone here understand life gets in the way really easily. I myself have only made it to maybe 3 meets in the past 2 years.

I forgot about the meet where you sold that asshole some lights. Did I ever tell you that that asshole managed to melt one of the lenses on those lights while trying to correct some of the peeling tint? NEVER use Goo Gone EXTREME on plastic  :

I would love to go Dave but the GF has claimed that weekend for her and I and I cannot cancel on her if I want to keep her around. I don't think we have spent a weekend together in close to 2 months. Are there any meets in August? I am gone the weekend of the 18th, but other then that I should be free the rest of the month.

[Mike]

Would you guys be down to do a dinner some where? Maybe get together the 5 or 6 local guys and go to a nice dinner spot in the middle of us all? Can bring the wives / girlfriends also!

[CrackerTeg]

That sounds cool to me.

[gargantula99]

Where's the center?

[Lemonjelly]

As you know from my pm Im in Mike.
