My wife is graduating from med school in a month, and we found out a month ago that she'll be doing her residency at VCU - which we're both stoked about - it was actually our first choice. It worked out for us, but if anybody wants to talk about how absurd the match process is, I'm your grey-haired guy.

We'll also be buying our first home - god dammit/willing - and have been up that way looking at places since then. We started out wanting space and a little privacy, then briefly got excited about the Fan, West End, Bellevue, and Carillon. Unfortunately, we've basically exhausted all of the available properties in our price range still and haven't found what we're looking for. I'm sure the garage requirement doesn't help.

The more we look and think about it, we want a house that works and as much as we want to be north of the river, the south presents more options. There just isn't much of an inventory, and we've seen pretty much all of it. Our radius and budget are both going up a bit, and we're looking at what we need to compromise on.

Anybody else in the area? I think I saw Justin is. Any sage advice?

Also, Richmond deserves some shit for the road conditions. It's nice to have an excuse for a comfy second car, but...just awful. But I am psyched about the better autox venues - haven't been to RIR but VMP is pretty dope.

Surprised this wasnt already posted up.

Auto-X at VMP this SUNDAY. I plan on attending. Anyone else?

If you are 6ft ish and can drive a manual, co drive in the hatchpile is available.

These are the seats that I originally bought to put in the Miata. They're kinda... too wide to fit well. And I just bought some pimpy-ish Memoryfab seats instead. Please get these out of my garage!

The Sparco is a Sprint Junior from 2004. It's pretty well-worn by now.

The Momo is a Start(?) from 2007. In pretty good shape, aside from the cat hair on the cushion.

I have some brackets but I have no idea if they'll fit the seats. I got everything together, stared at the Miata once and was like "welp, I give up."

$100 per seat, make offers, peace and love.

Hey all-
Been very busy lately, up here is my clients Nero Dayton F430 that he requested a Full Correction w/ clear film removal.

Hey guys (and gals),

I have a set (4) of Kartboy exhaust hangers (long) for sale for $15. They have seen one weeks worth of driving and then replaced with stock sized Kartboy Hangers.

These sell for $9 a hanger, just for reference.





Thanks.

Hey yall! My name is Abbie, and I would love to be the club treasurer next year. This club has been great to me ever since I joined, and I really want to give back by offering up my service during my last year at JMU.

I’ve been an MMer for 2 years now. I’m very organized and accountable, and this makes me a good candidate for this job. My mom is also a bookkeeper, so I’ve learned from the best on how to manage money! T-shirt orders would be organized and managed responsibly, and I also want to step up club fundraising next year (possible car wash fundraiser? Raffles?) I will manage the funds that make karting and track days possible and allocate funds as necessary. I will also assist the other officers in planning events. I really want to see karting each semester, Kline’s cruise-ins, classroom meetings, Quaker Steak dinners, the annual car show, more Top Gear nights, more D-Hall lunches, and last but not least….MORE TRACK DAYS!!! (the March event at VIR as me sold for life) I’d also like to see the club out at more kinds of racing events in addition to VIR, Summit, and AutoX (provided the interest and participation is there). Possible drag racing night at Eastside Dragway in Waynesboro or VMP? I’d like to see at least one social event each week. Another event idea I’ve always had is a club car wash and detailing day on a Saturday when the weather is nice. I don’t know about everyone else, but I hate driving a dirty car!

MM is an awesome club, and I really want to help continue its legacy. We have had such a successful year (many thanks to the current officers for their hard work!), and I think that we can continue to make this club even better next year. Thanks for reading!

Any questions? Ask away!

So the best I can tell, these two 19 year-olds have no idea how to drive. Apparently the throttle got stuck, the brakes wouldn't work, and after reaching speeds of 100 mph they drove into the median and jumped out of the (still moving) car. Don't get me wrong - this sounds scary - but really? Couldn't drop a gear or turn the engine off? The 911 call is 17 minutes long or something and no one could come up with a better idea? Am I overlooking something here, or do you guys think this is as ridiculous as I do? :evileye:

911 tape excerpts and story

Spread the word....payouts will be posted soon!

GUTEN TAG, HUNAMS! MEIN NAME IST DEISEL. THAT MEAN 'MY NAME IS DIESEL' IN NOT-ENGLISH!

TODAY I AM SUBMITTING TO YOU MY BID FOR VICE PRESIDENT OF THE MADISON MOTOROSPORTS

WHY VOTE DIESEL, YOU ASK? SIMPLE. 3 REASONS:

REASON 1: DIESEL CUTE BASTARD. LOOK:


RIGHT?

REASON B: DIESEL INVOLVED

DIESEL DO MANY THINGS. DIESEL GO TO SUMMIT POINT. DIESEL GO TO CAR SHOW. DIESEL HANG OUT, GET PET, SNIFF MANY BUTT AND CROTCH. DIESEL COME TO MANY AUTOCROSS, DIESEL LOVE AUTOCROSS.

REASON III: DIESEL GOOD BOY

DIESEL VERY GOOD BOY LISTEN VERY WELL. WHEN HAVE TO PEE AT NIGHT, DIESEL GO OUT IN YARD TO PEE AND COME RIGHT BACK IN NO CHASE BIRD OR SNIFF FUN SMELLING THINGS. DIESEL LEARN TO BE OFF LEASH SOMETIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN NOT MUCH FOR DIESEL TO CHASE. DIESEL LEARN HOW TO PLAY FETCH, PLAY IT VERY GOOD MY FAVORITE GAME

DIESEL STILL VERY YOUNG BUT LEARN ALOT SINCE LAST ELECTION.

DIESEL HAVE MANY IDEAS FOR CLUB. MANY OF THE SAME IDEAS AS LAST ELECTION, MORE BUTT SNIFFING AND WRENCHING AND PETTING FOR DIESEL. BUT ALSO, DIESEL WANT TO INSPIRE PASSION. WANT CLUB MEMBERS TO HAVE SAME PASSION FOR CAR AS DIESEL HAVE FOR TENNIS BALL. 9THIS ALOT OF PASSION, YOU HAVE TO BE DOG TO UNDERSTAND BUT TRUST DIESEL.9

'DIESEL,' YOU SAY. 'YOU ARE A VERY GOOD BOY, WHY YOU NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT?'

THIS EXCELLENT QUESTION. TRADITIONALLY MM HAVE VICE PRESIDENT LIKE LOOSE POOP. SMELLY AND UNPLEASANT AND STICK TO BUTTHOLE. DIESEL SEEK CHANGE. DIESEL WANT TO WORK WITH PRESIDENT AND OTHER OFFICERS, NOT AGAINST. DIESEL UNDERSTAND THAT VP VERY 'PORTANT, AND NOT JUST FOR TO PUT ON TRANSCRIPT. FOR TO WORK AND BE AT THINGS. DIESEL NOT FULL OF IT, DIESEL KNOW THAT HE MAYBE NOT BE BEST PRESIDENT. NOT GREAT COMMUNICATOR. BUT DIESEL HARD WORKER, AND GOOD BOY.

VOTE DIESEL.

So all this hooplah about kids not having passion blah blah blah started making me think a little.. Fuck.. Its warm.. Fuck.. Erbody hates being cooped up.. Fuck why don't WE, people of passion and automobiles get together.

Anybody want to meet up for a beer or have some folks over at their house.. I mean.. It's not like I don't like hanging out with you people. :dunno:

I can offer my casa. I got plenty of parking space here in Vienna.
