Re: Rock Climbing

Since we're trying to go two times per week, the membership was a better deal. It's a bit pricey ($75/month for the multi-gym membership, since we're now going to Rockville ocassionally) but also includes access to the fitness center, free members-only clinics, and a few guest passes.

Andrew, thank you for your help on Sunday! Even though we only had 5 organizers, I don't think we ever felt shorthanded with you and Andy helping out.

Re: Where do you get your tires mounted?

When I bought my new StarSpecs this year, I had them mounted at the Firestone near me (Odenton, MD). They were on the Tire Rack installers list. $12 each if I remember correctly. No complaints, but results may vary at other locations. Edit: That was the price for Tire Rack customers. Not sure what i...

Re: Annual Road Rally in Urbana, MD

Lol, I still think of 2001 models as "new" :-p I don't know how the poker run works exactly (except that you get cards). The ones that I did are more like driving scavenger hunts But that part doesn't really make a difference. The main point is to drive around on awesome roads for a few ho...

Maryland Craft Beer Festival

I found this while looking for something exciting in May to make up for the fact that there is no autocross :-P It's Saturday 5/12, 12-6pm. Regular tickets are $17 in advance, but the VIP tickets for $32 seem more than worth it. The VIP gets you samples of special casks and firkins from each of the ...

Re: CDC Halloween Autocross SATurday October 29th and TNT SU

Casualties on my way home: two cars in the ditch on 70E, one on its roof in the middle of the road on 70W, and one that spun backwards into the concrete divider on 695. Hope everyone that attended our snow party this morning makes it home safe!

Re: Found Lost Keys, Green Miata, Attractive Brunette

It was actually the black Mazdaspeed Miata. I think the guy's name is John. I don't know if he checks the forum. I was kind of surprised he hadn't put up a post looking for his keys.

Re: CO-DRIVE 6/25

I'm so late to this conversation... but.... snow tires are great! And Miatas in snow are great - the almost perfect f/r weight balance and lightness make them really easy to control. My only issue is lack of ground clearance. I almost got stuck this past winter, but that was because the car was kind...

Re: AndrewTech's Halloween TNT AutoX Sunday Oct 31st

Just checked the Brewer's Alley website and they have an IPA, so I'm in for that.

And thank you for rubbing it in Dan... I did only get five runs. That's my excuse, along with lack of sleep.

Yea... I have absolutely no money right now, so factoring in gas plus the registration, I really couldn't afford it. I'm missing the next Woodbridge event too because of family stuff :-( On the bright side, I have a new job which pays more! Once I straighten out my finances I'm going to start puttin...

Re: Lost iPhone :-(

I did try calling it, lots. I've narrowed it down to it slipped out of my pocket while I was riding with Ed O or Mike H, or is somewhere else. I actually just PM'd both you guys.

Lost iPhone :-(

When I was getting ready to leave yesterday, I realized I didn't have my phone. I think it may have slipped out of my pocket in someone's car, but unfortunately just about everyone had left by the time I figured it out. If I rode with you at Bowie, could you please check your car? Thanks!

16" Miata wheels

These are the alloy wheels that were available on the '01-'03 Miatas. The guy I bought my '99 from had gotten them as an upgrade, but I use the 14's for winter and Koseis for summer, so I have no need for them. I don't recommend using the tires that are on them, but the wheels themselves are in pret...

Another set of wheels is nothing. Now, an entire car closet - that's also taken over the dining room - is something to complain about.
