Woke up this morning with the worst sore throat I ever had. Alka Seltzer plus works wonders.

Hopefully you will do well.


I used to do TONS of NICU transports. it paid for my 2nd s2000. These days I rarely do any (2-3 a year). We get a lot of helicopter transports, which is cool!

110 hours a week of jerking it sounds exhausting.

I love the NIke Swoosh lights. And love the huge grille.

Those headlights look 100x better than Acura retard jewel lights

Front bumper, Styrofoam piece on top of metal support bar, fog light bezels, right headlight (had a scratch, wasn't broken), grille, SE lower front spoliers (left and right), lower grille and some plastic pieces. I think the estimate the insurance paid was $3800. There's not much orange peel on the new bumper (less or same amount as originally) and they paint matched it perfectly.. Took it under several different lighting conditions and there's no difference at all which was my only concern. Was done through the Acura dealer collision center so they only used new, oem parts. All in all my car is probably in better condition now then before since I have a new, unscraped front bumper. Accident caused by a flashing yellow left turn.

Lol all i gotta say is just because you got it repaired at an "Acura Collision Center" doesnt mean they used oem parts, i worked at a lexus collision center and sometimes they didnt use oem parts. Its ultimately up to the insurance to choose what parts/brands you get, but im guessing that goes into the subject of having full coverage or not etc.

Oh and simon are you getting your tsx bagged by cvt next? LOL basically all the tsx in houston are bagged by them.. which im not going to say is good or bad but you prob already know

LOL CVT.... Too many horror stories. And I've seen their work on a finished car as I ripped out the CVT system on Chris' car. Don't get me wrong, they're cool people and all, it's just their work is a bit ehhhhhhh. And I'm not about bags, I'm going for function, and I need my trunk space lol


Btw, would you guys run this tire or no? I got it with the Evo wheels and it's practically brand new, but I don't need it so I was gonna sell it... The tire is worth around $160 brand new, was gonna sell it for $150 obo until I found this today...

My right rear tire looks like that mc, been running it like that since 2011. Was too cheap to replace a brand new tire when it still held air.

Lol I didn't get anything back. I was going to ask when I picked up the car if there was anything I could use (grille, underbody front spoiler etc..) but my mom picked it up for me.
