Man, I've seen way bluer than 6000K. I have 6000K on both my cars and they look great, but 5000 does look more white, I'm sure they'd be perfect. And yeah germ's story to the hid was great

i cant believe gas is 4.09 a gallon for REGULAR! Wtf! OPEC is straight sexin' the gas market's throat! I miss the old days like 3 years ago when 20 bucks in your tank would do you some justice.

^Sucks dude. It's $3.99 here, but I bet tomorrow it'll be > $4. Glad I just got a raise.
Still, I need to get a job closer to my house.
My CEL just came back on. Just changed my o2 sensor Sunday. Hopefully it's my EGR, but I haven't had time to read the codes.
I'm getting crap mpg so I'm guessing that's it.

^It's crazyness. But what are we doing about it? Driving our cars...
I heard on some show that back in the 70's whenever they had gas problems, truck drivers would just stop their trucks on the highways, block traffic, and protest.
Probably won't happen nowadays though, people are too afraid to go to jail.

click for bigger size
Pretty much everyone thought we were 14 years old
Ate at this place called Taylors Automatic Refresher. We saw it on that one show on the food network, so we had to try it haha. The burger I had was bomb as fuck.
Our room, I've never slept on a king size bed before. Shit is massive
Napa Valley Musuem. We rushed around to make it here and when we got there...there was no one there but us and the place was small as fuck. What the hell, haha.
This vineyard was the crazy place ever. We stumbled upon it, they even had valet parking, place was ballin compared to these other hole in the wall vineyards we had visited.
Ferrari, son!
Some pics from that Copia art/wine center
They had these machines where you can buy a card and then taste a bunch of different wines.
You can see I have no idea what I'm doing.
Nvm, heres a car pic
Bonus pics from today of my Dad and Uncle playing tennis, lol

Cool pics Justin.
The HID kit got here today... what a PITA to install compared to the KAIXEN. After 45 minutes, everything appears to be working. The 5000K are pure white, no hint of blue or yellow. Very, very bright as well. However, I can tell the bulb isn't as high of quality in comparison to the KAIXEN. The light isn't nearly as focused, so that's a bit disappointing. But hey, for $80 I can't complain too much.

Then after I install the window reg, I'm getting a 25% all round tint and some Neuspeed Sport springs if I have enough money left.

So I just went to Just Tires for some new front tires and an alignment right?
I get there, (ordered the tires yesterday- 225/40/18 Kumho's) and they put 'em on but then he
tells me I need adjustable ball joints in order to get an alignment. 1st of all, is that true? I don't
think I've read anything about that on here... Then I get out to go check out my new tires. I
look at them and they look HUGE... I was like "WTF?" I then checked the size and they turned
out to be 225/45/18... Ugh... So now I have to wait till friday to get my 40's... Luckily the dude
is really cool and says he'll just swap 'em out for me... Whew... But tell me more about this alignment
thing please.

Can someone tell me how my car had 2 rotten motor mounts, a corroded clutch cable, a radiator that was falling apart, and cracked subframe brace and was STILL running like a champ? Damn, u gotta love acura's build quality. On the other hand, that just means more money to be spent for me unfortunately. Oh well, it is a 10 year old car and all those parts were original from factory, gotta expect some maintenance to be done.

^Where did you take your car to again, James?
Haha yep. This is why I'm on the fence about putting modding money into my car. I guess maintenance comes first though huh?

Did you mean like since they're "just" tires they're not "suspension"
haha?
