Thumbs up H-town Peeps....

Sup y'all,

Allright, stopped by today at Acura SW, picked up the '02 cupholders . 6.53 with tax. go get 'em! they rock. anyway, couple quick questions:

header, where to get cheapest?

02 Tails... cheapest? I know Vision and China want like me... can we get a bunch of guys maybe to get a group buy from dealer.. like 220 out the door? I'd get em in a heartbeat.

I have made an appt for next fri @ 9 a.m to get my rattles in my moonroof fixed. currently its at Acura SW, does anyone have any favorite dealers for service? is John Eagle better? or Acura SW? pros cons? also, the staff at SW acura seemed moderately knowledeable about performance parts.. is John Eagle more knowledeable? SW doesn't give loaner, does John Eagle or anyone else give it?

Matt: you mentioned a good car wash place... Korean family... give me the scoop on that, where its at, how much, etc etc. Thanks bro,

Peace y'all

hey Pimp! John Eagle sux like $h!t. I went to SW forever and went to John eagle to see how it was like. I was very disappointed. First they charged me 600 for a schedule maintaince! Then gave a loan that smelled like cow dung! I went back to SW with a quickness. And SW does give loaners, cuz i got one the other day. If you go ask for Jack Chambers and tell him about me. Thata my opinion, and oh yeah pimpin show me so pix of the cup holders, I wanna see.


Oh yeah Matt tell me about the car wash place too. Mr. Bubble getting lazy on me.

What you fools doin up so late? aint it past yo bedtime hehe. Anyways,

HoustonCL: thanks man, hey how about some '02 Tails for your 99 TL, and mine, and whoever else? I mean a discount rate. if we can get 25% off that'd be very nice!

Inspire: Hey I saw your car at UH the other day. I think its you. You took off that spoiler (good job). your car looks betta now. I guess i'll take pics but i need to get a dent out first, some bastard at UH dented my car. That, and I need a good wash before i take pics.

Danny: I know about that 9 bucks, that is sale price, i told the guy look, I want to pay list (i saw on his comp Sale=9 bucks, list =6 bucks, cost=3 bucks).

Who is John Chambers? The service guy i know is Travis, and a Bald guy.... I will ask for him tho!

travis is the young looking dude if i remember correctly. Jacks older and white haired. He had me go on a test run with my car to see if the check engine light would come on again after they fixed it. He asked me to drive "faster than normal" to which I replied, my normal is faster than other's normal, haha. I think I scared him some while driving. Hes a funny guy.

hehe. yes Travis is the young guy. we sat and chatted for about 20 mins, he seems cool enuff. we talked about performance mods, etc. I've only had contact with him and the shaved head guy. the shaved head guy might be manager cuz his office is the biggest. he isn't that cool tho, so i'll ask for jack i guess. geez i wish they knew more about mods though, i had some other questions, like, can we fit TLS Rims perfectly on our car, etc.

Thats what this forums for, yo! Anyways, I remember one time I was sittin in Jack's office and Travis was trying to some work but got interupted by I guess teh secretary. He was like, "aww man, is it that lady again? This is like the 5th time shes called today. She keeps asking me these stupid questions. Next time she calls, tell her im in a meeting or something." I was laughing my ass off.

I dont know bout yall but Sterling McCall Acura aka Acura SW SUCKS! I will NEVER take my car there again plus their unfriendly and they charged me too dayam much for a car.

I like to go to John Eagle cuz they have always been nice to me. Actually I would choose Gillman Acura over all of them cause thats where I bought my car from and their hella nice.

As for tails Im down. I got a quote from John Eagle for $166 each without tax. I think v_i_s_i_o_n was quoted around 180? am i right? but dont know where he got that quote from. Im happy with my cupholders, I can save that $6 for my ciggys

When I bought my car I consider Acura SW first and they treat me like shit too. I call and email to check prices and they keep telling me shit and giving me the run around! I was so pissed that I went to buy a TL at John Eagle, didn't even negotiate the price and got a better deal than my friend who got a 2000 model. All he had diff from mine was gold emblem and mudguard...and who needs that crap anyway.

Oh and another person that might be able to help is Dragon TL. I remember last time he said he got connection on parts...but not big parts such as kits but lights and stuff. I remember he said he got some lights for cheap. Where is that dude now aday?

Damn, I just came back from Baytown... Tonight's weather SUX HARD! It was around 88degree with 95% humidity... Anyway, I ran 5 times... the best time was 15.11 with 0.501 reaction time, others are 15.21, 15.34, 15.36, 15.38, and 15.50... Last time I went, I ran a 14.85 with temp at 45degree....

Webtoker(CLS guy) was there too, and his time was around 14.9-15.0... last time he went, he ran a 14.6... so I say the temp slow both of us down by 0.3sec...

I am happy with my time in this weather condition..... Hope Houston can get more cooler than this.....

So anyone going to hang out at SuperK on Westhimer tomoorrow night?
