Well this makes more sense, having a Great Lakes region instead of a Mid-West region containing both Ohio and Colorado :biglaughb

6" overnight? I'm like 2 hrs northeast of you and we're like in a safe zone. We haven't gotten hardly any snow yet this year. In fact, since I moved here last year, I haven't seen a damn thing.

I grew up a bit east of Buffalo...so it's kind of weird.

Excellent--

Are you involved with the local BMW CCA chapter? The membership chairperson is a BF.com member - jblack

And out of curiousity, you wouldn't know of any places up that way hiring for a Business Management/Communications Minor type person would you? My wife is actively persuing options in the area.

At any rate, welcome to BF.com :) If you ever need help working on the 318, give a shout. I have the reset tool for oil changes and inspections too.

Hey blu3girl I'm in Akron too!:buttrock

I am active in the local BMWCCA events as well as SCCA and now NASA. NASA is offering driving schools and race weekends at most of the local Ohio tracks. Anyone interested in doing one of their events next year

I've got to call Harvey about getting into a school next year...

Dobin Mushi-- Were you are the AutoBody open house or the Chili Cook Off?

I did the track events, didn't make it to the open houses.

I just saw Tim and Marco from DW service during lunch this afternoon.

We had a great time at Harvey's event last year. Look forward to seeing you next summer. I'll be the one with a 240sx IT (white) and silver 328i.

Did any of you Arkon/Canton area folks make it to the Hauted School House and Haunted Lab this Halloween? They were AWESOME! :buttrock My wife and I made the trip up from Columbus twice this year to go to them. We went by ourselves the first time because I had work to do in Mentor, but then we went back a couple weeks later with some friends :evil2

It's AWESOME! We've been to several all over Ohio down in Cincy and Columbus, the HSH and Lab are the BEST haunted houses around.

Anyone in the Cleveland/Akron area has to go to the Northern Ohio BMWCCA Holiday Party (and yes, Aaron, I promise Brett Anderson will be there). Cool party favours (2 this year for everyone) and great music this year (very, very good blues band). If you don't belong, how come? It's cheap, and you get 15% off on parts and a good magazine! Check out the stuff at www.nohiobmwcca.org . There is a Nothern Ohio BMW Z3CCA site about to go up too! E-mail me for more info.... membership@nohiobmwcca.org .

It's in Brecksville, I think the name of the place is shady hollow or sleepy hollow.....something like that. The Web Meister is behind on her duties....(it's my wife).

The sig picture is in front of the BMW Performance Center, about 7 minutes after we bought it. If you get a chance, the Performance Center Delivery is the secound best way to get your new car (Euro Delivery is, I hear, better. Next time). BMW gave no discount on the M3 for Euro Delivery, so we picked it up here.

Love to meet you some time....the Holiday party is a great way!

Hey John-- Tell the web-meister to get crackin'!

I'll have to consult my BimmerPilot when I get home. I also forgot to send in money for the Auto Show trip...dammit. Are there still spots available? I figure that out later.

So much to do!!
