CT200h is not only slow, but it is soul less. TSX has some soul. Trust me I put 28K soul sucking erectile dysfunctional miles on my CT200h. I have owned 41 cars, and the CT200h was the worst POS of them all. Glad your sister is enjoying it

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

I am back in Los Angeles. 10 months of the year in LA, 2 months in Raleigh, NC.

God I miss Ted Drews..the atmosphere..people..the custard...it is what is all that is right about the midwest...

Congrats. Sorry to hear of the planning issue. Indian friend of mine married a white guy in Cancun last summer, due to AVOID the family issues. It was a destination wedding. They had just as much argument over things, who does what, $, food, as non destination wedding.

WEdding is all arguing and a nightmare. But it is only the beginning of a life of arguing and a nightmare.

saw a white huracan yesterday on the way home. tail lights look pretty awesome when lit, but overall, it was not nearly as aggressive looking as I would like, particularly the rear and quarter panel lines.

also saw leno at the corner of ventura and coldwater in some huge car from the 30's that appeared to be steam powered.

saw a lexus nx on the way in. from the rear it looks very narrow and small with fat fenders stuck on as an afterthought. side view not particularly inspiring either. maybe it will grow on me, but I don't think so

Ya. My grill has a slight scratch near the A symbol and my drivers side foglight has a few small scratches so I can have them order new pieces and paint them black (since they have to paint the bumper) or paint the pieces I have now.

Estimate came up to $3000+ for the Grille, front bumper, plastic pieces, foglights, paint, installation etc.. No structural/mechanical damage, just cosmetic, but damn.. Luckily we're not paying anywhere close to that

Thought about it but it's too much hassle to try and explain that to the Insurance. These guys put a "reconditioned" front bumper in the estimate, which is more expensive then a NEW bumper...

https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblin...thread-380634/

totally stopped with customizing my car.

got into guns and now inventing/customizing my own rifle chassis design using a mini mill

learning CNC automated milling so i dont have to do manual milling

project im working on now for a .308 rifle.

3 aluminum 6061 blocks. cost about $20 altogether
when im done it should cost about $1500-$2000 if i were to sell it. then mass produce it on a small scale

I didn't say I am a CCW in LA Ventura.

Nah, not intelligent enough to be in LEO

How do you like Angeles? I worked in Westlake for a long time (parents have a house up there still)..and their neighbor also goes to Angeles.

Ah makes sense. How long have you been CCW? Are you on calguns?

I like Angeles because its outdoors, more yardages, open space, cheaper, more benches.

ANother reason I love TExas

Low cost of housing
No income tax
great employment
Lots of space
Guns
Tits
trucks galore

Since I am a closet Hick....Texas is calling my name. I am almost praying I don't make partner, so I can move to TX


SIGH

dang 06'? Ventura sheriff just started issuing CCW permits late 2014. But its a good thing now that more people are applying in our county and getting approved.

I've been carrying since July 14' and its awesome.

I mostly shoot rifles out at Angeles.

I just picked up an M1A and Remington 700 .308
