Then complains about cost of tires for 18's and premium gas. Immediately I was like, why the FUK am I man of my word. I also realized when I priced it out for him, I made it too cheap...what you can get around that price is NOT well maintained. I think I took for granted that I'm a nut and my idea of well maintained is not everyone's.
Ahhhh the curse of the nice guy... I know it well J... i know it very well...

I hate that people love to take advantage of those that kindly/generously offer help once in a while.... i mean the least you can do is offer to pay something.. but lesbereal, that shit ain't going to happen..-____-.

Best of luck bro, like i said.. i know how you feel 110%.. it's so tough and i still find it extremely difficult to say no to some people..

It's okay, now you can get more money for it elsewhere PLUS not have to deal with that..

Ok that NSX configurator is fucking retarded. They say the carbon ceramic brakes are an option, ranging in price from $9900-10600, yet the standard brakes aren't available until later in the year. How fucking stupid is that? Wouldn't that make the optional brakes standard then? Maybe Acura just wants to rub in your face that you have to pay 10k more for them, as opposed to just adding it in to the base price.

And why the fuck are the colored calipers $700 more, as opposed to the black ones? THEY'RE ALL FUCKING PAINTED ANYWAY!!

If the carbon brakes are an option, and the standard brakes are not available yet, maybe you can order an NSX with no brakes at all?

brakes are the heaviest part of the car anyway so it's a weight-saving measure

in today's fast paced information age, if you haven't seen everything twice, you haven't seen it at all.

Yup, so to stop the car, you just throw it in to reverse, at 120mph...

You all forgetting about the hybread tech? Regenerative braking? Don't even need calipers an rotors, you just run the motors backwards to stop.

Hasn't anyone paid attention to the betas in RLX? Stop trolling and learn something ya dinguses.

It's *that* kind of thrill.

C'mon, J. I was just yanking his chain a little bit!
