I currently don't understand eBay right now. They want me to change my password since they were hacked, I've tried 3 different times to do that, yet my new password is invalid and my old one still works?

With a cool cam, you can adjust how much light comes into the lens. He cranked it all the way and left it on a tripod for minimal movement.

Drove past a BMW X6 the other day. That is one big girl. Definitely looks like something you'd drive if there was a zombie apocalypse.

I pulled on an X6. I was happy!
Lol


And the low beams through fender is possible but its easier if you take off the front bumper, basically you remove any thing in your way.

Wheel. And just remove some bitch clips and squeeze your hand in.....but its definitely easier to take off the bumper than squeezing your hand.

No kidding about the bumper. That's how i installed the lights to begin with.

I asked if anyone had experience on a TSX THRU THE FENDER! .

So as usual you post some useless crap.

Don't you have anything better to do.......

Go check out the hondata flashpro thread in the performance section.

Yes it'll, work for you.

No it's not a chip. It's hardware to program your ecu.

It's soooo big. Looked like an Army tank driving around the road, especially with the driver weaving in and out of traffic. Only second to a Hummer for the biggest car I've seen in awhile.

So I'm pretty sure most of you heard about that shooting that happened at UCSB, has anyone seen the threat video the guy made before he went for a drive by? Dude sounds like a real weirdo which is probably why he couldn't get none. It's a shame he killed 6 innocent people because he was a narcissist. The kid was loaded, driving around in a BMW, his dad was assistant director for The Hunger Games, easily could have paid for some, looks like he was closet gay anyways.

"I'm 22 years old and still a virgin." The struggle is real.

Lol you're so dumb. I'm sorry, but I said the same thing.
I believe I said its possible if you squeeze your hand.
The other gentleman wanted you to do magic with your hand.



Its just 10x easier to drop the bumper.

Cuz he's a cool kid and we're not

PS: That drive by shooting... this sorta thing just sickens me. I'm from Toronto and this sorta thing doesn't really happen up here often. If anything, an isolated incident at a stupid house party or some shit. But nothing I can recall at this level. Actually there were gunshots at a mall, but I don't think anyone got hurt (thankfully). It just seems like these stories pop up from the states every couple of months or so. Very tragic and unfortunate.

I am currently changing my automatic transmission fluid. I only bought 3 quarts but it looks like around 3.25 quarts drained. I have put the used atf in a used oil container that was emptied out. So there is a small bit of oil that will have mixed with the atf. Is this bad to put back in .25 quarts of slightly oily atf? Or try to get a ride to a dealership tomorrow and get a new quart?

Do I add fluid back by putting it in the dipstick hole? That seems stupid but the manual only says if I need to add any put it in that way.

Totally MacGyvering my atf change. Electrical extension cord casing is my tube, with a latex glove with a hole cut in it going over the bottom of the funnel. Then a used quart to prop the funnel up so I don't have to hold it. It's taking forever!

If you didn't get all the electrons out of the casing it will short out your computer controlled transmission

UTAH! Just the person I need. How bad will it be if I drive to the dealership with a 1/4 quart low on transmission fluid? It will be around 30 minutes round trip, and I'll be on the freeway for a portion of it so I'll be in every gear if that matters.

I kind of like what was done to the headlights. Is that some kind of film or what?
