decided to post a few pics of my car from this weekend's trip up to the tail of the dragon. long story short, had an absolute blast! really just glad to have the tsx back after over 3 months at the collision center and am proud to say it held up extremely well on the challenging course. here are the pics and look for a full write up w/ more pics in the off topic section soon (too tired to do it now). oh, i don't claim to be a photographer so if any of you photoshop gurus wanna play around with some pics then just go ahead.

enjoy,
vinny































HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

i think the first shot is my personal fav

CGP06tsx

:o no way. Is that by Lake Santeetlah? My grandparents used to have a place up there right on the lake and the last time I was up there I am pretty sure I heard about a road with a lot of twists on it called tail of the dragon. Saw T-shirts for it and everything, but no one wanted to drive on it with me cause they said they would get car sick

godfather2

yup, that lake is nearby. i took this trip solo, needed to clear my head

CGP06tsx

It's beautiful up there, I wish I could have gone out there again before my grandparents sold the home. I bet it was a nice drive going through that area.

godfather2

it was therapudic ... to a point where it almost felt like bliss!

inkedup

Yeah the first pic is the best, looks good, I like the wheels.

mltk53

i like ur rims

EuRTSX

Looks great dude.

TSX8282

hey, how dark is your tint?

chill_dog

I think I see a scratch .

afici0nad0

very nice.

i want to visit the dragon asap.

godfather2

thanks for the comments!

chilly - looks harder, you'll see more than one scratch

tsx8282 - my tint is just a hair darker than what's legal in nc (not really sure)

aficionado - be on the lookout for my thoughts on the trip in the off topic section. if you wanna go there now, your gonna wet yourself once you see all the pics

I want to drive on the Tail of the Dragon. Something like 200 curves in a 11mile stretch of the road. Probably will make the trip up this summer.

rex.

You look like a photographer to me
Really nice shots, this one is my favorite for sure

godfather2

318 curves in 11 miles ... wholly shit, the longest straight was like 50 yds. demanding course for sure, but once you're in the zone there's no looking back. fastest i reached was probably around 50mph. averaged roughly 25-30mph

godfather2

rex, you do me proud bro -- thanks for the chop. seriously though, i don't even pretend to be an amateur photographer. i was merely taking shots of stuff i wanted to remember. maybe i just got lucky ...

Actually, I was just busting your balls...it looks really good to me.

godfather2

the car needs a wash and wax bad. can't do it myself and don't know who to trust to do it for me?

VorteC

sweet

CGTSX07

loving the wheels. looks good man.

godfather2

thanks. i'm actually starting to gravitate towards another set of lightweight wheels. never know what the future holds

godfather2

i am thinking oem fogs ... any thoughts? where to buy cheap?

bo0sty

nice and clean, digging your wheels.

godfather2

thanks again. the wheels look better in person imo

undefined.tae

nice scenery and definately nice ride!

lito

shes a beauty

jlukja

I like the 3rd shot (with the sign). For some reason I really like that angle.

godfather2

i sure think so

godfather2

that shot was blind luck, really

godfather2

anyone know of a trustworthy detail shop in the charlotte area?

jlukja

You must have some subconscious skillz.

godfather2

what's a subconscious

mmade22

So that is what the car looks like! I love the wing, don't think I have ever seen that before. You have a ton of mods on that car. It looks like you had a great time. Just think, when you drove your car last, the gas was at 2.50 a gallon. Now three months later, you finally get the car back and you are paying over four. What a bitch! Can't wait to see it in person. Have all the bugs been worked out?

godfather2

john, unfortunately the bugs have NOT all been worked out. what frustration, someone pass me a high grade stogie

Bearcat94

Mine too.

Glad you enjoyed it. Saw your other thread as well.

Car looks good.

Lots of good roads in the NC/TN/VA/WV area. Hit me up and I'll give you a some suggestions. TSX is a great car for those roads.

godfather2

jim, it seems as if you were davie crocket in a previous life! how the hell do you know all those roads/scenic spots so well?
