I really want to go to Germany. Took four years of Deutsche in HS, so I can speak some. Hopefully I'll be going int he spring. My uncle owns a bed&breakfast hotel in a medium sized town, hehe $free.99 stay. Plus I'll get to try out his E class on the Autobahn.

I would love to move to Japan, but i have a problem of panicking in crowded places. yeah.. no japan for me..

i do hear that the government is actually trying to pay people to move into the country side away from the cities.. I would love to do that.

I love your car, but those emblems are f'ing hideous. It'd look 100x's better w/ the stock emblems painted white. I don't know, i just associate those emblems w/ rice. never liked the looks of them.

I really think that would look better CLpower. White emblem on a black background would be the hotness.

the only thing i could brag is that it was made with japanese parts. LOL

which is why it really pissed me off after 9 11 and everyone was like we need to support american businesses.. so people stopped buying imports for a while.

It hurt my dad directly who worked at honda, and i can only imagine that was felt through out all japanese dealerships and plants..

its like well good job, you just hurt a lot of the working american people who needed those jobs..

From what I read it didn't really have that much affect on only imports. Their was a big USA craze though, but A LOT of it had to do w/ the 0% interest rates american companies were offering, the import companies didn't want to touch that. But everyone lost a lot after 9 11. Ford and Chevy both had HUGE HUGE lay offs.

that's what i'm saying. Plus you can't even tell what they say on his. They look like just a white block. Atleast he'd have the A outline on the back w/ the stock ones painted. I had black ones black on mine, but now i'm getting the wholes removed on the rear

My personal opinion, I'm not feeling it. The bodykit is full on jdm, if it were painted to match it'd look sick. The rims throw everything off though. I would rather run the stockers rather than mismatch the whole style. The wheels look too bling for the rest of the car.

It's your car though, so whatever you like is what really matters.

I know my dads income was directly affected by it. And Since i live in florida, home of rednecks..

everyone was REALLY pushing the anti-import craze.. They were like we dont need to be supporting the japs!!!

So when I asked them about all the american workers in the car plants here and the people in the dealerships they would get quiet for a moment and be like.. well most of the money is going to japan anyway!! rarr!! death to imports!

Yea, its hard to tell from the pic, but up close the "A" is in chrome, on the white background. I took the stock back on off, then when i switched grills i changed the front one also so they could match.

I asked: "Really? That is very cool"

He said: "Yes, really. I lived there 14 years, the whole family is there. If you have any questions, ask me gladly, it's no problem. Hopefully you will see Germany soon, it's really great."

Hopefully that is close, I'm a lil rusty. (ok alot lol ).
