it was amazing! They keep getting better and better everytime I see them

I'll post a few pics up later tonight when I get home.

On a side note I saw a black sc coming out of the concert as well. It was dirty, no tint, dealer stickers still...

i spotted a silver ss/tc yesterday on Edmonton Trail and 20th ave N.E. yesterday, me and Justin were on our way to wash the Balts when I saw it, i thought about stopping but we were in the turning lane going the opposite direction.

just saw 2 Fighter Jets flying low over the city here, they made several passes, heard them 2-3 times b4 i went outside to watch for them, got to see them make another really low pass right by my place and then to my luck i went for a drive and they were on approach directly above me, 100% made my day, they were CF-18's i do believe

Yep. Doing some sort of training missions, been hearing them coming and going all day....our hangar is a couple hundred yards from the south end of the main runway. Gotta love that rumble so much more satisfiying than the "whoooosh" from the Westjet 737's

oh i know, i questioned myself at first when i heard them flying overhead if it was actually fighters but i knew they had to be for how loud they were and the pitch of the sound, just wish i had gone outside the first time i heard them. I'd love to get a pic of my Balt and in the backround one of them landing.

I expect the training missions are to do with low flying and it looks like a bit of formation flying too
update-my dad heard on the radio they are training for a Freedom of the City Parade tomorrow, dunno wat time tho

FYI, if anyone is interested, myself, Jman108, and outtamymind are goin to see Fast and Furious at Chinook for 7pm tonight

Yeah it was very very good... I enjoyed it a lot. I wish they had more street racing in it, but, still lots of cars, and good action. I thought it was really well shot.

It's funny. No matter what people "name" their car, it doesn't seem to make them seem any cooler....

Yeah, I was kinda hoping to get one locally. No shipping, pay cash etc.

I got a 2.9 from him, but thought I would just throw out the request.
