after years of being stupid with credit, i've been more cautious the last couple years and not carry a balance. only debt i have is to the users on this forum and my credit union.

home ownership is something i wish i can get, but probably not in the bay area, anytime soon.

You also should have a higher salary in California compared to someone in Texas doing the same thing. I don't know what the average salary is in those areas but the house prices still might be pretty high for how much an average person makes.

Certain areas of Dallas are the exact same way. 3br houses in Highland Park/University Park easily go for 1mil.

Just got back from a mini-vacation in Virginia/Maryland/DC. Saw so many more TSX sedans and wagons than I've seen here in Florida in years.

I was in NoVa, and seen lots of the cu2 chassis with body kits.

What is going on? Are we entering phase 2 of the show off crowd?

As far as instagram is concerned, #cu2 has really taken off. Not in the direction I would've liked, but nonetheless, taken off lol

Does anyone know if you can fit our rear bumper into the cabin (i.e., from the rear driver side across to the front passenger side)?

Pretty sure I have seen this done before !

Maybe try folding the rear seats down and putting it in that way.

Might have better luck going from the trunk to the front passenger, but be ready to bend that sucker.

Seems doable for 3G TL, but IIRC their rear bumper is pretty small.

edit: especially this guy:

Damn you guys are doubting it eh..

Let us see when you've accomplished the challenge. I'd guinea pig it for us but I don't have a spare bumper cover laying around.

Yeah, I haven't done it, but I think if you can lay the front seatback down as far as it'll go, you should be able to contort it in from front to back.

Source: I've stuffed some pretty big things into tight places before and it totally looks doable.

I saw a wagon in a parking garage and a few others driving around near the national harbor. Overall, it felt like I was in Germany. Audi/BMW/Benz left and right.

Thoughts on these and if I should buy them off eBay or better places to buy them/ should I get 1 or both or none?
