hey man, I'm guilty as charged also. I get ahead of myself all too often- I'm lucky Wifey generally draws me back to the present.

I think all the new Lexus' are ugly. That Benz is pretty cool. 335s are pretty yum.

Chad, you and I seem to be complete polar opposites when it comes to liking car styling. Makes me wonder how both of us drive TLs

I love the new Lexus design language, but will never buy one. Because of dat transmission.

There's like not one good line on that Lexus. The lights are a disaster. The grill is a complete ugly mess. Too fat here, too fat there, too rounded here. Not a single thing I like about that car.

I could handle a LS F-sport though...

3G TLs are timeless, duh.

Chad...
you like getting your hands dirty. You love Hondas...you know hondas
I know it's hard to turn down what an awesome car the S5 is (shoot, I wanted that blue one BADLY...but 48K buy out at the time?!)

how about possibly no car payment and buying a new love to put your efforts into...then you have 2 cars that give you unique driving experiences!

I've truly wanted four cars my entire life. The Prelude, a TT Supra, the TL, and a S5. I've owned two and one's not ever going to happen. The S5 will be mine.

If I bought a weekend S2000 I'd wrench. I'd do this, I'd do that, maybe slip a snail in there one day. I like to mod but I don't really like to wrench anymore. I've pulled my share of engines. It's time to move on (and up).

I need to resolve my cd player issue and probably get a new front bumper. Then wait.

Only you can say that!

I have the same ideals as you but the only car on my list is the aventador...
so, uh...yeah...these old hondas work for me for now.

Can't lie...I am a schizo when it comes to vehicles...I want an old hooptie...I want a truck...I want German...I want a classic...I want EVERYTHING!

This is coming from a guy who doesn't even have either of those vehicles anymore.

Don't hurt me.

Don't be like me. Changing cars all the time. I'm content with the Explorer and the Accord though.

I saw a KBP Type S just the other day... no idea if it was 5AT or 6MT, but he looked to have some significant face damage. Looked like it was being bondo'd up

I rear ended that bitch who pulled out in front of me two years ago. Wet roads...dumb cunt... then she lied about the whole thing. So I've got the tiniest little bump/crack all of the way up on the nose. You can't even barely see it unless the angle is right. But I feel like it needs fixed before I can sell the car.

H keeps telling us who he/she is not, but won't tell us who he/she might actually be. Too many secrets!!

PMed Taco since he had asked me directly...it's currently "closed" but Ron A ( ) and I will monitor it.

The suspicions you boys had are not unwarranted...but, we need conclusive proof first. I'll keep you guys posted and let you have your fun once I know.

Yup...I mean, for these things, we often depend on the insight of the regulars. You guys frequent some of these forums way more than the mods and so, you know from interactions if something is amiss.

Please do keep me posted if things get weirder. But, we're still working on it...waiting to hear back from the "other" person (who we think is impersonating "her").

I don't get it. If IP address has been used under a different username for some time, and now a different username appears under the same address, what else do you need?
