We got sideways today.....

..by we, I mean the ol' whip and myself. Random day off of work, thought it would be fun to burn up to Napa Valley and race around the back hill areas off Silverado Trail. Here are some pics for my peeps (audiworld folks) Hope everyone is set to have a killy weekend!

Try this on for size. This ain't my spread. It's actually the Beringer Winery. They have a superb Chardonnay. Goes fantastic with ritz crackers and velveeta.

Re: *shakes head @ ABT*
3098 posts. I spent that time actually driving my car. C'mon man no need for cutting words really. If you don't like the rig don't say anything. I think your signature is 100% style-less, but I have always refrained from saying anything because it's what you like. If you don't like me or the car don't look at my posts, got it?

Since when does post count matter?
either way 3000 posts isn't much for the amount of time i've been registered.
I could care less about the sig. I didn't make it and am not sig person anyways.

Really hitting me where it hurts huh? ;-)
Either way . . . when you post pics of your car, you lend yourself to both criticism and approval . . . I would hardly consider my statement "cutting" . . . If I wanted to be "cutting" I would have mentioned that the paintmatch is bad and the bodykit pieces seem to have texture whereas the rest of the car is smooth . . . but that would be "cutting" and I wouldn't say such a thing. :-P

You are exactly wrong my man. I DO want to hear a specific reason of why you don't dig on something and were compelled enough to leave an open-ended single sentence post. I have more respect for a complete opinion, rather than a half rate response.
The "texture" that your keen eye for intricate details has observed is not a deficiency in the paint, or texture. Perhaps it's the photo? Dude, you have a size 84DDD clear bra on you car, right? That alters the way paint looks overall too. Either or, 4 quarters still gets you a dollar.
I am happy to take critisism, but you still haven't addressed what is actually wrong with the ABT kit. That was your initial slag. Stay focused and rip on what you hate about the kit. I mean last time I checked, it wasn't exactly a "sho-gun banzai" body kit for a 1989 RX-7. Get back at me on this...
..and yes for an even shorter amount of time it's an insane # of posts considering the fact that you are not even a moderator. Don't get bummed man, it's just an observation...who really cares?

Um 3k posts? Look at Murano Daddy and his new screenname . . . 11k posts
I bet he has even more on his other account.
Yes on the clear bra . . . I can't see anything from 3-4' away though . . . not to mention I ended up getting it for free because it wasn't a good job.
Either way, you can see the distinct difference in shade and texture on the body kit pieces in one of your posts. I should also mention that I completely disagree with your opinion that the ABT kit is "unobtrusive and subtle" ;-)

He probably does, but I don't really care about that. I am impressed that you weeded through my posts, this kit really bums you out, huh? Again, I ask you in front of this whole forum, please site specifics.
I can say "I think putting a clear bra on a car is a poor decision, in regards of not interupting the cars aesthetics" You will naturally ask "why?" Then I will say, "do the whole hood, because when it cuts off only 12-16 inches up the hood it creates a noticable difference in color, and I find that to be very unstealth". I may also say, "just risk it you may get a few stone chips, but theres no need to be so paranoid, and risk having a mismatched hood". Then you may use the very reasons I have outlined in your arguement about the looks of my car.
I am only after clarity in your dissatisfaction of how I put MY dream car together. The fastening points on the kit are the same on the rear valance, and on the front lip, as stock. Is it the skirts? Yes, they are quite different than stock...................
I just realized I don't actually give a f**k about someones inarticulated opinion who drives a stock A3, and lives for the opportunity to slag those who are do'ers rather than say'ers. Whatever brutha, if you can't be clear, I am not even going to engage anymore. God bless ya, really.
