first forum friend meet up...

Just thought I'd mention that I finally met Mike Garfias. The ONLY Z06 guy registered here local to me. Great guy!

Some of you may know Mike from CrossedFlags where he was running things and then the 3 partners parted ways not too long ago. Interesting story as I hear.

Anyhoo, had some Dions (pizza place) and talked cars/vettes for 2 hrs. Good deal - wish more of you guys lived here! Now both of us just need to meet another local with parts and a garage we can borrow for those mod days! PS: I'll bring the .

mike is a great guy. he has had a bad experience--a part of life--but he is really a super guy to talk too--as much a computer nerd can be

next time you see him, tell him i said hello.

Jack - JC is right he still comes over every now and then, just not an active poster. Anyhoo I told him hi for ya just in case he hasn't seen the thread yet.

Mark, yup hes a good guy - could tell that in the first 5 mins of meeting him. We were trying to figure out where I'd get my valentine hard wired though since I've got the coupe! LOL Prolly end up doing it same as him across the side/top if it will fit.

Was great to finally put a face to a forum member though - Albuquerque, NM seems to lack any forum guys with vettes We were both pleasantly surprised...

Now next time y'all come down for the Balloon Fiesta, don't forget us so we can meet up!

Doah - wish I'd known that about Sunday! If hes there this Sunday you can count me in!

Hopefully him and I will get a few chances at the new autox track this summer. He mentioned they were moving it to Sandia and it was gonna be WAY better - one of our many Indian Casinos. All this of course after my measly lil coupe has some upgrades done.

I'm gonna try and convince Mike to show his face more round here and get to posting like he used to.

Thanks Dustin (and everyone else).

Its not so much that I don't want to hang here as much as I'm really burnt out.

That and lacking in time like you wouldn't believe.

lacking time I hear ya but us people in the northeast are going to have plenty of it since winter is right around the corner. Good luck to you guys down there, wish we could keep the snow/salt and sand off the roads up here.
