Thank you!! The car is done but I’m on a plane to the PRI Show / Indy. Next week I’ll see the BlueWing again!! @QuickAg: thank you!! I think we know each other from some other forums. You put down some BLISTERING laps in your ZR1!!

A colleague of mine lives in Cary, a "bedroom community" as he calls it, he works in RTP. My next door neighbor always leaves his garage door open, at least during the day. We do, admittedly, live in a "very good" area...but that doesn't mean that the mutts haven't been sniffing around, trying...

Might I suggest a career change? LOL! It's the "Austin Nazi"..... "No Austin for you, go home!"

Thank you! Yes, that's normally the way I am but this really was a rude awakening!

Appreciate the info! CRAZY article!!

Yeah, seriously, there team was GREAT!! The shop foreman, Matt, took care of it all. A solid dude! All really nice folks there too...from the porters, service runners, etc...to the other customers I was chilling with! It was something like a movie scene when I drove off, like: "hey kid, glad you...

That is some crazy stuff!! And yes, the best justice was served in the last instance! And "mutts"...it's always interesting to hear the terms for perps from around the country from various LEO folks!! Sounds like you had a hell of a beat!!

My last business trip to Austin was a few years prior and I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn right off the edge of downtown and I35, they had a valet with a nice parking garage setup - might be my new go to Austin hotel! I was in a really nice MB SL550 Roadster for that trip! I was at the Trans...

Guess I'm one of the oddballs that likes it too LOL! Not a regular watcher but I'll watch it when I'm scrolling through...always makes me laugh!

So, the point of this thread wasn't to bash on Austin...this type of crap happens everywhere...a friend's CTS-V fell fate to the same thing here in the DFW area at the Flower Mound FIRE DEPARTMENT!! At the FD!! The perp was unsuccessful with the V but was able to steal another vehicle - a new...

Copy that! I used to LOVE going to Austin - especially when I was in college and into cycling, then just the overall hanging out and having fun there. Now I pretty much only go there for COTA and I typically stay out that way.

a pleasant day to you as well...

A few weeks ago I had the misfortune to be in Austin on business, drove the BW as it's the "least nice" car in my current stable (funny, right? LOL!). Nice area, nice hotel, perfect target for thieves apparently...2:30 am two perps attempted entry into the driver's door, messed up the trim, door...

Can't comment specifically on the BW, but I did have a QuickJack system for a very short time. It's pretty neat, for sure. I found it quite cumbersome and a PITA to use. I also bought it thinking I would be using it at the track. For me, a jack and a set of jack stands was easier, especially to...

Thank you!!

I hear that! Somewhat similar - I bought a new Trans Am TA2 Mike Cope Chassis Camaro a few years back for both club and pro racing...it's not like these are just cranked out on a daily basis...all custom build off the Cope chassis...the plan was to have several test weekends before race...

Yep!! Broke it in on the way down there LOL!!! I just bought it a few weeks prior and due to my travel schedule I had to MAKE time to put some miles on it!! But I made sure it had over 500 before I put it on track...

Thank you very much!!

I LOVE ECR!!! I didn't buy the wing to track it but I did take it out for three sessions at COTA this Summer - went to SRF fluid and did the brake vent mod (for cooling). No fade at all. Stock pads. Stock tires. Just a tick over 500 miles on the car. Hit 150+ (maybe 160?) on the back straight...

Thank you! You've got a nice stable of fun cars!! I have a feeling we know some mutual folks that are into road racing!
