He went to Thessaloniki to meet a childhood friend from Turkey, who used to live on that island that I showed on snap last summer.wap wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 5:42 pmMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 5:02 pm
Also my dad is about to fly from thesseloniki to athens
What was he doing there?
Have you ever been to Thessaloniki? I haven't but really want to. They just completed high speed rail service from Athens to Thessaloniki which I want to check out. That and their new metro is almost done, too.
I have once back in 2015 during the holidays, and been to Ataturks home/museum, it's pretty nice and super chill town. I believe I have posted some on the travel thread, where you'll see orange trees, church, and seaside. Athens is huge compared to Thessaloniki.
I have not heard about it, should've asked earlier. Maybe this summer maybe doable, I also met someone from samos thats both in Rudy's and my local car group (originally mine and in hiatus until rudy got his mk7.5), so it might be a possibility to go there.

that's what I do, I had it on at the time but the road was clear and I was entering my neighborhood when that happened. I think I made some guns constantly moving my wheel left and right, hence why I got the explorer for the day.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:25 pmTurn off traction controlMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 5:02 pm

Nope I’ve still got it. I drive it every day. It’s probably going to say my daily a while. I’m going to install the last few parts I’ve got. Replace the gaskets and seals. And stay at like 200hp.[user not found] wrote:Did you sell it?
No point in turning the Miata up now that I’ve got the R32.

Our offices were “closed” by HR but open by ya for all intents and purposes. We had officers in the building but most of our team stayed home and remoted in.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 10:06 pm I kept the office open today and basically no one showed up. Roads were fine during morning commute. About 30 of the 50 people that did bother to show up left at noon and had turrible drives home. I stayed till normal time and had my shortest commute in years.

Gonna be interesting this evening when temps drop below freezing just in time for evening rush hour and the precipitation turns into freezing rain and sleet. And me with just FWD. Puppies and nuns better get their wills updated now.
You're on all seasons aren't you? That's flat out negligence. Everyone north of Atlanta should have dedicated winter tires. Actually Atlanta should have them too. All seasons are flat out unsafe.

Why not get something like an elantra with 1.6t, comes with dual clutch trans and manual and pretty cheap. Or If you don’t mind the looks, the velobster turbo

Yeah I mean the purchases have been a Turbo Miata (not a stock Speed Miata, one a dude just added boost to. That is old AF. ) Next, a 20 yoa VR6. How is it going to go good unless you're Jay Leno or Melon and completely tear the car apart and restore it? Barnes, you've got guts, and West Texas is a place that gives you more time than most, but personally I'd be considering a cold beer and the local talent in Amarillo vs. dissecting your Messerschmitt every night. :kermitdrinkingteamemedoe:

Old cars will require fairly consistent work. 0/7 would not rely on as primary transportation.
