I guess I need to pick a color combo for division 2, but the chart doesn't load on my phone. I would take a peek on the computer, but after I broke the last one, my wife forbids me from using it.
I normally go for Black car with black rims or white car with black rims.

Black is spoken for in D2, however, white is open. Just a heads up though, there is someone running white in d3, if they get promoted or you get relegated and you two end up in the same division, you will need to pick a new color.

Alright. I'll use white with black rims until they move up or I move down. Can we change the rims so they can be painted and do I need to pick a number also?

Yes, changing rims is fine, and no, picking a number is not required.

Boy have I been busy the last two days, saw my first NSX and GT-R yesterday, and today I saw my first AE86 at an scca autocross event. I got a bunch of videos from that today. I'm going to start uploading them now. After I'm done with that I'm probably going to bed so I probably wont make it tonight.

Each Sunday night we all gather together for two hours of racing. Over the past week, most of SNAIL has been busy buying and painting their cars, changed some oil, broken them in and spent some time learning the latest combinations. Some SNAILs pound countless laps looking for just another tenth of a second in preparation for Sunday night's competition. Those epic two hours we all look forward to. When I first began racing with this league, I would practice when I could, show up Sunday night and race to the best of my ability. That was about it. I was oblivious to what was going on around me. Because I have been having so much fun I decided to jump in and help out where ever I could. They say that ignorance is bliss. With my eyes now open, I have begun to really see what it takes to run this league and all the hard work that goes into those two glorious hours we all so enjoy. Now, this time line is about League Night only. It does not include any of the other SNAIL events that occur throughout the week. This post is not only to educate but to pay homage to all the souls that work behind the scenes to ensure that our Sunday runs smoothly.

In conclusion, you all can see just how much work goes into a two hour League Night. All of these weekly responsibilities fall squarely on the shoulders of zer05ive, kcheeb and the rest of Team SNAIL. Keep in mind that they all have families, jobs, school and a myriad of other Real Life responsibilities that they have to balance with keeping our league what it is today... We all need to recognize and appreciate what these folks do for us day in and day out and if you find a little spare time in your world, think about joining up with Team SNAIL. There are still plenty of slots open for data entry, photography, back up lounge hosts and directors. This is with out a doubt the best GT5 league available and as they say, It Takes A Village
Now I best go get some laps in or I will be doomed tonight!!

I was sick last weekend and wasn't up on the new combos and apparently missed my chance to buy the 74 lambo.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could dupe and send me one.
Sorry for the late request. I will keep and eye out if someone has the time.

All this talk about seeing exotics in the wild and I'm wondering if an SLS AMG counts. I saw one today pulling into the country club we were playing tennis at. Nice looking car, very wide. I did notice the doors are quite thick when they're opened. Sorry, no pics. As I said, I was pulling into the country club and trying not to look like I didn't belong.

Can anyone tell me the lap times people are running in the lambo and rx7? Just got set up at the hotel and trying to see if I'm in the ballpark yet.

SLS AMG is my dream car, so far I've seen a total of 4, "one in the wild", two at car shows(one two years in a row), and one at a dealership. Oddly enough, two were silver and 2 were white. Personally I'd go with silver, with a black interior. A lot of people say the front of the car is really long, but I don't really think it was too big, you are right about the doors and how wide the car is.
