There's really no need to..it's the same thing every 4/8 years

Do you want to be bent over while the President whispers softly "I'm sorry, it's for the best." Or do you wanna be bent over while he screams "MURICA!" the entire time?

Sanders is the most left since FDR and Trump is so far right he makes Reagan look like FDR.. All I know it's gonna be an interesting next four years..

Nice assessment. I'd never thought about it in the whisper/shout analogy, but that's pretty spot on.

Personally, I don't like to be yelled at when I get fucked in the ass. I prefer a soft, gentle whisper. It feels more caring.

Unplug your HFL before it bugs out and drains your battery leaving you stranded. Since you're sending it in, might as well just take it out completely.


Mine has always been intermittent since I got he car. No booting up error though, it just stops working altogether or works fine some days... No draining yet luckily . But if it says booting, unplug.

I ditched out of work a little early and went home and ate skittles.

Was pretty cool.

How am I missing a prior post about this? Or was it just PM?

Where is the HFL being sent to? I just bought another one from Delray Acura and replaced it when mine shit the bed. Price wasn't all that bad. Not cheap, but not bad.

Actually I just found what you were talking about. For $45, I'd definitely send it out also. It's worth the price.

I was just snooping a bit on nsxprime- I don't think anyone has successfully ordered an NSX yet, even though the website is up and running. Seems markups over MSRP (not surprisingly) are happening all over the place. I'm surprised those guys are shocked and angry about it. What the hell were they expecting?

At the same time, many dealers are apparently selling at MSRP. Just depends where you're located.

One thing I didn't know- Delray Acura was criticized hardcore on that site. Apparently it even has an "F" rating with the BBB. I've always ordered parts from them with no issue- I'm guessing it must be the service and sales departments.

I think I'm going to pass on that s2k.. I'm not too fond of the color despite the low mileage and cleanliness of it.. Been talking to a few friends: both past and present owners of an S and they all say the Silver is the blandest of them all. and I never considered Sebring either, I prefer Silverstone. I might just keep on looking for a GPW LBP, or Silverstone, or Berlina. I kept telling myself color doesn't matter but if I'm not going to be happy, I'm just going to be selling it anyway so what's the point

Don't get black. Black cars are the devil. Unless you're like J and you polish your car every weekend, you'll regret it soon enough. Even so, you'll hate yourself for putting so much time into keeping it mint instead of driving.

Plus, being 10 years old now, unless the previous owner absolutely babied that paint, you're gonna hate it.

although to be frank.. my finances are just turning around, I probably shouldn't be buying a car just yet. And from a priorities perspective, i really should focus next on buying my gf a ring... she really deserves one for putting up with me the last 9.33 years. I know she would support my buying it, i know i can afford the additional car payment but it's one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" situations i think..

Berlina is definitely lower on the list. My gf prefers it though but it wouldn't be my first choice either... GPW, LBP, or Silverstone I think would be my choices.. in no particular order well GPW and LBP are tied for first and Silverstone a close second.

You should get her four engagement rings.

That is, four rings that engage around the pistons in a s2000.

Yea, it was USPS, or CHP. GF didn't like the thought of me being gone all night or not coming home at all, but I liked how difficult it was to become a CHP officer where I felt that anyone could become a cop. I wanted to be elite, not average.

My dad works for USPS and does quite well. Better than I thought they would pay. Plus where I'm working, it's beautiful.. it's a 110 mile round trip commute everyday, but it will be worth it.
