let's all chant in unison.

PLEXI- GLASS!

TheTLProject

Lol no but I want to know if for the time being I can just drop the power window motors out but still retain the windows until I can afford plexiglass

TheTLProject

Some of you may or may not be familiar with this guy but he agreed to do a review of my car. His name is David Patterson aka ThatDudeInBlue. I'm on my second reply from him now so we are slowly closing in on getting the car on his YouTube channel.

Changed my mind...
never mind those pesky details.

That's super lit, Fam!

TheTLProject

Forgot to mention the windshield was fixed recently. Used a credit card (go figure)

TheTLProject

Matt Farah got back to me too and doesn't want to do any more TL'S.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

oh good, responsible.
could have told us!
I'm sure the gofundme's are being refunded as we speak.

TheTLProject

Not really it's at 25 bucks and I haven't taken it out yet

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

you gave up too soon! that cash was coming bro!
Looking forward to that video review...
I wish you'd contact that wrxsubarufan car reviewer, he's one of my favorites.

TheTLProject

Posting that GoFundMe on the Acura TL Facebook page was a huge mistake. But it got me 25 bucks toward the cause so that's surely better than nothing. I've heard of SubaruWRXFan and watch his videos once in a while.

TheTLProject

A mistake because of the immense negative backlash I got from it

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

LOL...
Well, I'm sure you understand why you got backlash, right?
Dude, that guy reviewing cars is hilarious when he gets excited.

TheTLProject

Yeah lmao he is

A booger? So sticky!
Well, I look forward to the video if the guy does decide to review your car.
Does he normally review alone? Or like interview style? You'll have to put the seat and your weight back in?

TheTLProject

He does it all. He's ridden alone for some videos. I'll just tape this to the "dash" and all his questions will be answered : )
