New house, new ride... congrats, Omar! That's a great ride to move into --- we'll miss you here, so make sure you stop back from time to time.

I was debating whether I should mod my A4 since it's a lease. Guess what, I got my first mod already.

Your new place is in Diamond Bar, right? I notice that Dennis is also in Diamond Bar, and I'm in West Covina. The 3 of us should hang out, have dinner or something. We can do Taco Bell dinner.

You guys are really close. Before I bought my place in West Covina, I almost bought a condo at the corner of Golden Springs and Sylvan Glen. I guess someone offered a bit higher than me.

I almost forgot as well. For any SoCal'ers still reading this thread, I can get you car and homeowners insurance through State Farm. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll let you know the details! Vwong and DJDZ of course this applies to you, and I can also do your condo owner's insurance and combine them both with auto to get you better savings!

congrats on the new car, the legacy gt is definitely a good one.
So sad to see your simple yet one of a kind TSX go though.
Did you ever consider getting a comptech supercharger before making the swap?
