Even here... It's generally minus infinity degrees outside, until May. This year we were hitting close to 90F in April. The entire winter was extremely mild.

And depending on where in "Houston" he's from, it may or may not be bad. The metro sprawl is huge. So like, Crabs is watching the river rise, wndr had a friend just lose their house because of the Brazos breaching the banks, but I'm just sitting here mildly inconvenienced by the sprinkles.

It's weird.

Bought 2 of these to replace my shitty water hoses I have currently.

Went to Lowe's last week for their Memorial Day sale and picked up one for my pops. Friend told me these things are pretty good and it's true that the don't kink. In case any of you guys are in the market for a decent priced water hose.

Shop NeverKink 5/8-in x 50-ft Premium-Duty Kink Free Garden Hose at Lowes.com

our vendors on acurazine can or used to sell them for $700-800. not sure if they still do or not.
some colors will be discontinued.

I gave up. to me, its not worth my money for the body kit. plus my color is discontinued. the only way i'd get the kit is if i found it at a junk yard or a local TL'er sells it to me

yeah im just getting a lot of the "discontinued" responses from the online vendors too. it not priority, just wondered. i prob wont ever do it.

told my wife i was gonna keep the TL (if i ever get it back from the dealer) until my son could have it when 16 she said no. it would be 21 yr old car by then....im like it will be a classic.

The kit kinda pi$$es me off. I'm glad I got my car with it, but I remember wanting it for my AV6 and couldn't justify buying it and painting it. So dang expensive, yet it totally transforms the car.


I have feelz for you, knowing where you're at with it. So nice. So expensive. So sucks.
