His old stuff I loved from the first time I heard it, most of the new stuff takes me a while to "get"...
same with Future...he's too advance for my unpigmented mind.

I say, even if I liked Rap, and I don't (I'm old as fuq so I'm a classic rock and new country fan) I would not buy his shit, wouldn't contribute one nickel to his punk ass.

you guys got caught downloading music!?


I used to download all the time.. albeit on dialup... by the time they could pinpoint who it was, I was disconnected


I remember going on a college tour in 6th grade, I went to the bookstore where they were selling laptops, downloaded Kazaa and then a bunch of albums of music. Bought some CD-RWs and burned it onto the CD's and went home to enjoy.



I was such a bad ass

LOL...okay, maybe it's just me. The day I realized how much of a hypocrite I am in my own head was the first day I was able to drop the ego and sometimes back off and admit that maybe it's me and not you.

Anyway...no te gusta el carro azul?

Has anyone heard of the dealership Shift? Why the fuck are their cars so cheap?

Looks like it's a nationwide company.

I hate you, J. Because of all of this excitement, I started looking for a Type S again. And found one.

It's the same one I talked about, maybe just over a week ago. It's up for sale again. I think the owner travels for work, so he pulled the ad when he had to leave again.

But I dunno, something isn't sitting right with me, regarding that car. He said he had the clutch and master cylinder replaced, because apparently the master cylinder crapped out, causing the clutch to burn out in two weeks time. He had someone test drive the car and apparently the starter shit the bed the second time he tried starting it. It's now been replaced also.

I've never heard of a master cylinder failure causing a clutch to wear out. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I've just never heard it before. I've also never really heard about the starter failing on these cars.

Mileage is a wash. My current TL is sitting at 82000 miles. This one is at 86000 miles.

I have four gripes with this Type S:
1. It has the oem wheels, but they're curbed to shit apparently. He said he bought the wheels after buying the car (never came with the car, from the previous owner).

2. Doesn't have a-spec kit. I can't just transplant mine from my base to the Type S.

3. The car is white, but apparently the previous owner backed into something, causing paint to be scratched off, down to the black plastic.

4. Owner claims the timing belt service was done by previous owner, however, there is zero documentation of this. I don't want to pay for it.

Beyond that, the price seems too good to be true. There are 3 6MT Type Ss available, within a 300km range. One is 18.5k. Another is 15k. This one is 11.5k. It is located 3 hours from me, which doesn't help either. I'm wondering if this is just a case of "it's too good to be true".

I can live with the curbed up waffle wheels- I'd keep my current TL summer wheels, and use the waffles for winter. The rear bumper can be repainted, though it'll cost me $500. And if I want the kit, well, I'd be forced to pay like 2000 for it.

Thoughts?

At least you can find a Type-S....

I can't find shit..... I mean I can but there all out of my budget. I found one in Alabama it will cost 800 bucks to get over here but they want 17.9 for it and it's at CarMax.

Semi-vacation, actually getting to look around a little bit rather than just deadheading between work and hotel.

Place has changed! Inglewood isn't quite the hood anymore and old Chinatown seems to have gotten gentrified AF. Traffic still makes me want to nuke the whole place, but that's about it.

At least I get to meat up Johnny and see why he goes by BuffetBoi... Because he eats it until he's uncomfortably full I bet!

Last time he was selling it for 12k I think. Now he dropped it to 11.5k.

We all know that Type Ss don't last. Especially at that price. Maybe you're right.

The two other ones available are the two colors I don't want, so they're completely out of question. I guess it should ring alarm bells if I can get a Type S for the same price I can sell my Base.

I dunno... I guess I'm just getting the itch to get into something else. I feel that even though I dumped a shit ton of money into mine to bring it up to the condition I like, it's not perfect yet. I have an oil leak which would require me to remove the timing belt to get at, my serpentine belt is getting noisy when it is cold out- I'm actually not sure what is making the sound, to be honest. Not sure if it's the power steering pump, or the belt itself. I never replaced it. Not sure what else would make a bit of a groaning sound on that side of the engine.

That, and I'll likely need a clutch eventually, especially if I take my TL to the track this year for some auto cross. Now that will be expensive to replace. Other than that, errrthang is good, but I dunno... Gah... The itch...

I can't afford moving into a more expensive car this year. We already know it's gonna be an expensive year, with all the shit we have to take care of. That's why that type S was nice... Just a straight up swap...
