Dammit get to work..woman is not delivering..downtime... hate waiting for women to deliver..story of my life...


I know the minute I leave..I will get called back in.


LLIGHT HELP


Can you guys help me on picking two lights?


1) I hate the ugly yellow DRL. Looks like its from 1988. I want the LED look of my Lexus DRL. I am not going to put some cheap vatozone led strip. So can I put a bulb (I don't know about resister/LED), that will look BRIGHT CRISP WHITE....? If so what do you recommend?


2) If I put LED lights in the rear tails..will they be MUCH brighter? Or will it look rice?


Thank you.

^Even I was part of the latter part of your idea of the "good ol' days"!

All this doctor, illegal drugs, money talk has got me down. I'm probably never going to own one of those expensive cars listed earlier until I'm like 40. le sigh

1. Vled/ijdmtoy brightest/highest wattage leds + resistors or nokya arctic white bulbs.

2. In my experience led tail lights end up being dimmer than regular bulbs.

The above DIY corresponds to that video. They look pretty good IMO, but it's a lot of work.

If you just want straight up LED replacement bulb for the rears, I don't think they're gonna look very good.

Most people don't own an expensive car till 40, anways. Then again it boils down to what expensive is.


I had my S2000 and Elise both much earlier than 40. But I won't have an real expensive car till 40, you are right.


529
401k
Backdoor RothIRA
Payoff 2 mortgages


All get in the way of a car.

When I was 17, I thought by 25, I would be driving a Ferrari. I also used to think first day I make a 100K, I would go buy a M5.

Thank you. I will not do the LED tail. Not worth it.


Is it possible to keep the same wattage OEM DRL and brighter white bulbs?

Lol, since it's the most expensive car in the Acura lineup, and production is super limited, without surprise the owners are usually full of themselves.

I admit when I saw the video of the electric SH-AWD on Acura's site, I was "impressed". But these guys are probably thinking they own something revolutionary and game changing.

Probably just cuz they spent a whole lot of money on it and have nothing better to do but brag.

I am gonna sell my LS this year. Need to look at the RLX-H. I don't have that much interest , cuz the rear end looks to me like a Chrysler 200 rental car.


I have no problem people liking their car. I appreciate that.


But people ask for Sports Sedan, and they say RLXH. They say its faster than CTSV. I am like WTF


I can't afford the koolaide over there

Yessir I am, there is indeed a beach like area (perhaps more than one since I've only been to one), but I didn't see any path big enough to get a car onto it.

Car looks the same today, 7 years later. Though it has OEM front lip.


We took a trip from San Diego to Sactown to break in the car.


I am trying to track the area down....

Interestingly enough, the CT200h was SO BAD and I wanted to get rid of it SO BADLY...that the TSX wagon... popped up, went to bank, cashier check..got the car.

got my sister the ct200h, i enjoyed it, borrowed it for a few days while i gave my partner my TSX since his charger blew a fan or someshit

sitting in traffic not using gas was hilarious personally. i mean i can get 30+ mpg in my TSX, but that thing gets 45 no problem, and it may not be fast, but it aint that much slower than the TSX

I could never figure out till I asked someone local, and they told me that they judge you by HS. It is utterly moronic.

I was at Saks in that mall over in Clayton...man the way those people treated you....hilarious..till you went to pay for things..and suddenly they didn't see your color.

That said I still miss the fried chicken, ted drews, the middle eastern food in CWE...etc
Deloitte, nice for stl.

Where you living now?

Either way, I just have a thing about .... stereotypes. That's all.

I feel better we have at least cleared that up. I also didn't go to HS in the Lou area.

Ted Drews should be a controlled substance...
