Steve is the Doctor of the Mini Coopers however an apple does not keep the Mini away as they keep wanting to go back for more MODS Not that this is a bad thing as they were a good car to start with and only get better.

I want to see the shipping bill. What's really funny is I have a set at the shop from a removal. The guy had the GP a couple of months and wanted an M7-USS. There was already 10 pounds of sand and dirt under the panels when I took them off. They also connected to the GP side skirts so there will need to be some work on that front. All in all, it's a great waste of time and money for virtually no gain, especially when your totally trash the panels. But bring'em on.

It's typical Dr.Steve positive pessimism. Alright if it's that big of a deal, I won't get em'. I have the part #'s for the if/when I decide to do it.

No. If Dr.Steve doesn't want to do it is kinda moot.

That'd be a great new look to replace the JIMINNImachine's tribal flames. Just make sure to invite me over when you have BBQ's!

They say this hotel is new and will cater to the event. It has a larger area to accommodate the vendors and parking

Where's it at this year? I'm kinda gonna miss the quaintness of the Palace Station. It's fun to play "spot the mullet" by the slot machines each AMVIV.

That's kinda cool. It says Aliante is only minutes away from the LV Motor Speedway. I wonder if you get free hot laps in lieu of happy hour.

We just looked through all of the pictures on the website & this play is wayyyyy nicer than Palace Station. I kinda liked the old-school Vegas'ness of PS, but the posh stuff is pretty clutch. We can all get hammered at ETA after we're done with the cars in the day time. I know JIMINNImachine's in on that action. He promised he'd show up this year after skipping out on the previous 4 years.

Looks like DJ already registered. Dang, homeboy must've jumped on the online deal as soon as it became available. So wait...all the events are still at PS?
