Talk like pick up phone and talk to each other?

I'm shocked, you guys weren't really that close before, seemingly.

Let's just hope there isn't too much in common with the company you keep.

The weather has started cooling down a little and it hasn't been so humid lately. My hanging outcasts haven't been sticking together as much lately...

So nice.

His stories have a lot more than 2 sides.
I give people way too much credit and leeway.

I have my limits so if I cut someone out of my life...there's a good reason for it.

I rarely say this about anyone, but I wouldn't bat an eyelash at anything that happens to that guy in life.

And for the record, you and Anil can get under my skin with your knowitallness, which I realize probably only irks me because it's a trait I have too. I have never tried to erase you from my life.

I don't really know what went on. After so long it doesn't matter really. He's always been kind to me though. But I've never expected more than courteous correspondence online.

People change in real life. Some for the better, some for the worse.

Do the V3 have the flex section? I recall people having to get it rewelded due to engine movement?
If you haven't already, consider the upgraded engine damper...I remember swapping mine and the stock one was totally useless...could compress with one finger.

Flex section on precats? O_o

My v3 jpipe has a flex section...

I did the engine dampener many years ago now. And yea..stock was worthless when it was pulled.

I'm REALLY hoping the tech doing my 105k in Jersey Friday will want some extra cash and install them for me! Lol

I really dig the look of the Q50s but constantly hear stories of software issues. How has it treated you so far?

I prefer the black car beside it

But in all seriousness, the Q50 does look like a nice package. Starting to see more of them around

Fucking black paint though...

Debadged the TL this weekend, then hand buffed/polished the area where the stickiness was after cleaning it with goo-gone. It's impeccable... but for some unknown reason to me the dust is still magically attracted in the shape of the ACURA and TL logos. There's no more stickiness or anything, wtffff??

That would have been pretty epic. It's faint, but fuck me sideways I'm tired of dealing with small stupid shit like this. 11 years of these stickers being stuck on the paint... maybe the edge is so very slightly embossed now??

PB, that interaction wasn't even noteworthy...but I'm glad you got your pretty button.

Joe...fkn lemon buyback title for leaking trunk. Sounds like not a big deal...but the fact that it got lemon lawed makes me think there's more to it than that. Super nice dude...
I think if I were to take the risk I'd go for the racekor dark gray 6MT Wagon.
