Awesome, I have nothing going on over the weekend. I have been informed that I cannot work on anything over the weekend, as the systems I am going down there to work on are going to be in use.

I am gonna be driving back to california though.
What!!!?? Are you buying that '99 Grand Edition over there or what?

I wish I could come. I actually know two ladies in Austin that I could go out with. A 3rd one in Albuquerque wants to take me to dinner too.

I wish I was coming back with you. Drat.

Ask around about the speed limit enforcement in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, Justin. It would be a shame not to speed if you could get away with it.

Jim, I wish I were going to be driving an S-Class back.... I am actually going down there for work, to build 5 networks, and to connect them to my large network.


My friend and I are acutallly buying him a 2006 BMW 330i when we are down there, and are going to drive it back. He has searched nationwide for this car, and found it in Texas.... So we are gonna pick it up and drive it back to California.


The 99 Grand Edition is coming from a local Sacramento owner, who has had it since new. He drove it until 2004, when he bought himself a new S500... He gave the 99 to his wife, who drove it up until now... She wanted something smaller, so he bought here a new E350, and is now selling the 99 Grand Edition. Its got like 55k miles on it, and it smells like leather inside.

Don,


If you stopped using the word LIKE you might not be taken for some dinky Calif. nerd, valley girl type. People using LIKE is one of the reasons that jails in Texas are over full.

Check the thread out in the events forum, I have some leads for some brand new MBs you can rent.

Why? Every city has a 3rd ward. But if you wanna tour the wards be sure and see the 4th and 5th wards as well, more of the same. Poverty on a grand scale.
