tl;dr: Asked my girlfriend for an open relationship so we could both date and sleep with other people. My girlfriend has been on way too many dates and I'm sure she's hooked up with a good few too. I havn't. Feel the open relationship has gotten way too unfair towards me and I want to close it, but because it was my idea I don't know how to bring it up to her. Need advice on how to do this and close the relationship again.

He's doing it all wrong. True that the ladies run the game. So they should be bringing friends into the game for both to enjoy!

So we about died on South Street in Philadelphia Saturday night. There was a gang/rap concert related shooting. Guy shot from a limo into a crowd and killed a guy. We were right there not three minutes before. Good times.
The TL is driving amazing right now. I was shocked with how much the HFPCs affected the sound of my intake. Lol. I would have never thought it would have done that.

I thought you were being clever with the HIT OR MISS comment...since you were discussing guys and gals and lefuck.
Glad you didn't die. That's scary as hell.
Got 105K done too, right?

Ahh. Ok.
Yep. Timing and acc belts, water pump, tensioner, pulleys, PS flush, MTF flush, spark plugs, alignment, HFPCs installed, new side mirror glass installed.
Ended up being $380 for parts and $450 for labor. Not too shabby.
He said I need new brake pads. I didn't realize how long it had been since I touched my brakes until I sat and thought about it. It's been like four years now. Lol. Time to order new ET500s and some Motul fluid.
Does anyone know if the RB one-piece rotors can be resurfaced?

for all that...cheap cheap cheap!
dude, all i did was flip tires and aligned the TL and I feel like it's driving like new again. so nice not bottoming out and scraping on my driveway.
the kicker...only raised it 1/8"

Any good V6 would be a blast though. G35 is fun and similarly priced to the TL and doesn't suffer from less reliable tranny.

Why couldn't the RB be resurfaced? It all depends on the thickness and what it allows. Anyway, I don't believe in resurfacing. It's only putting the inevitable to slightly later in most cases...

The RB rotors are apparently a really strong/rough material. At least that's what I remember. So I wasn't sure.
Why wouldn't you resurface if it's possible to do so? It's like $600 in rotors... Lol

Why do you want to resurface them? Are they worn unevenly?

Just straight swap in new pads and do the normal break in? He said the rotors are fine...
Edit: No...I guess I was under the impression that you should level them out between pads. Guess not. Lol

What's super fucking hilarious is Chad is in here talking about resurfacing a performance rotor.. why get that fucking rotor in the first place, what makes your driving style require it over a reggo blank, and why would you detriment a performance rotor.. when the fucking key reason you have it is performance.. HELLLLOOOO!??!?!?! Am I taking fucking crazy pills here. FFS.

No, you should inspect them to make sure there within specs, not automatically level them. If there's small grooves, surface corrosion or they're wobbly (lateral runout) then it's worth resurfacing. If they're too thin, the grooves are too deep or the runout is so extreme it can't be corrected then replace.

Gotcha. Well cool. That'll save me some time and money. Thanks.
I gotta fix my shitty aluminum trim, the cupholder, and do my brakes and she's finally back to perfect.
