Lol more or less, the car was fairly clean already just bugs on the front. People give u the weirdest looks but washing a car in the rain makes more sense to me rather than sunlight.

I have thought about it, I can't decide yet. It's so hot already u think black roof will make it worse. Idk though it's on my list of consideration. I saw a pearl maxima with a glossy roof and it looked pretty sick.

That makes sense Joe. After my trip to College Station (the trip that I took those pictures of the bug massacre on my bumper), I washed all the bugs off while it rained after I got back. People looked at me and I felt dumb.

Either that or it's the only Acura stealership in the area. For me, our family bought all of our Acuras from the same stealership (Rosenthal) because it's only 5 mins away from our house

FYI.. Potential winter break project..

Still researching and checking with people who have performed the swap to see what the real cost is. If it's over 10K i am gonna stick with NA and save that money for another car.

You guys don't even know real popeyes. I heard that popeyes anywhere except New Orleans just isn't the same...when out of state people come down, we get them popeyes, they can never eat popeyes at home again LOL.
Seriously though, come to new orleans, try the popeyes. SO GOOD.

"We need to cut costs and your role is going to your underling in Bangalore". Yeah the guy I trained to replace me is ready so

Got until the end of the year.

After 14 years of 60 hour weeks frequent weekends etc.

Managed a team of ~30 graphic artists and animators in 5 cities on 3 continents. 5 direct reports. 100k annual capital budget.

I came up through the ranks and still can get my hands dirty with flash Photoshop illustrator.
My background is mainframe programming but in late 90's I learned Java then java script I connected with a pure graphic artist and Flash v 4 and we were stars. I taught him programming and he taught me art........and we been together since then. And we both got our walking papers the same day FML/


Anyway I may go back to stock and dump my wagon.......not sure of ANYTHING just yet. I'll give you all

first shot. PM if you like to discuss any of that. Or keep your eyes open for the For SALE posts

dibs on the LED fog rings, maybe sport pedals and MAYBE throttle body spacer!!! (if its a limit of 1 dibs per person, i want the fogs lmfao, those are SICK.) hope you stick with your baby though. sorry to hear about the job situation, come to NYC, maybe you can get a graphics design job here, lots of big companies that need advertising and the like(i really have no idea what you actually do)

also, got my new baby today. $3K for a 15inch MacBook Pro with retina display. 2.6 GHZ i7, 8GB 1600MHz ram, 512GB flash hard drive, apple care for 3 years, and i got icloud already fully activated =) i've been MIA from the forums cause of that, but im back, love this baby.

SPDANDPWR you never texted me so i couldn't tell you when to come, if you want, text me in the morning, you can come today after like 12-1 and we can do your car, i wont have time next weekend unless you come to the big ass meet we're having on oct 7th(its a sunday, check the tristate azine facebook page)

I wanted to call dibs on some of those things too, but i felt it would be too insensitive to call dibs right away...

Rob, why don't you and your friend set up your own operation?

I spent 40 years in Queens before heading out to Colorado n 98. and may end up back there. My Mom is still there.....in Little Neck. One issue is I am unable to commute to the city due to my health. I could go periodically but no way daily.

The other guy is too artsy to go into biz with. He too nice LOL
Freelance is an option but also a scary thing if you don't get enough work.


Dibs is cool/ I will remind you when the time comes.

I was in a similar situation robpp.. I was with my last company and first job for 13 years. Lead a great team of folks and actually made progress with loan loss recovery for this mortgage giant. At the end of the day, I was fighting an uphill battle with my mgmt chain who really didn't want to work and got forced out. Now, I am in a great job with my new transition. Everything happens for a reason and at first glance we may not understand it. However, talented individuals such as yourself will bounce back in no time

Tell these vultures to back off on calling dibs on parts from your wagon. It's far from over!
