I don't care, man...I want her to be whatever she wants to be, I'm not gonna do what my Father does and only be interested if my interests intersect with his. I want to learn about things from her and the things she likes too. I was never an overbearing brother and won't be an overbearing father. She will have what she needs in the form of a good head on her shoulders by the time anyone would be a problem and then she can just point at who hurts her and I can hurt them. Easy!
You'll be a good dad

Except for the hurting part

dude, it's nuts though, they get to the point where they double the entrance fee and if enough people get the fast pass...you're ALL a buncha dumbasses waiting in the "fast" lane with half you money!

hurting? I meant me hurting a boy that hurts her...not hurting her.

Fast lane isn't even worth it anymore.

Everyone does it, I be like "bye, I'm about to go hop in the regular line and wait 15 minutes" that's what happened when I went on Indiana Jones.

Sadly no.

I can't make up my mind.

Lease 2015 TLX ---- Give back if I don't want it in 3 years or get the MMC.

Buy 2014 Accord Sport or EX

Lease or buy 2016 Accord

I just so confused.

I must say I love having the Corolla around, small parking spot, fuck it I'll fit. Ground is wet, haha let's try to have fun. Best parking spot next to a big ass truck, no biggie.

I don't haul the kids around in the Corolla only the Explorer. Thinking about getting some Vossens for the Explorer for my birthday.

LOL...well, I'm a lover, not a fighter. I'd just tell him that he's a bad person and bad people should feel badly and it would work itself out.

Maybe I'm (soory) Canadian after all!

Check the weight on those, sucka...

but no, the Explorer is the wife's...you do something like that and she'll start feeling like it's YOURS and then SHE'LL be in the market for the next new vehicle. Fuck. She might do that anyway! Stop driving her car!


Be like, nawww bae...that's yours! I don't wanna fart in it. Then go sign the damn papers on your new Accord.

I'm in love with the Explorer. I just don't like taking it out all the time. I always tell her that it's her car and she's like no it's our car. My 2 year old says mommies truck, I'm like see it's yours.

I haven't took the new ILX on a spin, may have to do that. Pretty sure I'd still get a TLX over the ILX just because POWWWAh purposes.

Well, yes, no doubt...but the ILX is a nice lookin ride and probably similar in lease/finance to the Accord but staying with the Luxury brand you've grown accustomed to.

I'd keep your eyes peeled on a damned 6MT TL-S...I saw a stock CBP one on the highway today and fuck if it doesn't still look like a relevant car for very little money. And fuck getting another car your wife can drive. It's YOU time this time...keep the corolla for times where for SOME reason she gotta go buy milk and you have the Explorer at homedepot buying sod. Insurance should be like 100 bucks every 6 months as a 3rd car anyway.

I don't know if it's the new lease the TL got on life for not going on me last Friday...but I'm enjoying and loving and not wanting another car more than ever right now. She's driving silky smooth, not fucking leaking anything...can't wait to get these new 235's on there to make a smoother ride either.

The county encompasses A LOT: Venice beach, Santa Monica, Hollywood, all the to the border of Pomona and shit is still LA. There's the west side where UCLA and shit is, lots of good food but a bitch to get to in traffic if you don't live there. Downtown LA is fun but parking is atrocious. My parents live about 15-20 minutes east of LA, known for shitty Asian drivers but delicious Asian food

Don't ever lease a car. That's financially retarded. You're literally just reimbursing the dealer for driving the value out of the car, except you pay much more than the value that's lost. You have limited mileage, and when it's over you have nothing to show for it. And no modding.

If you buy a car that's used only 2-3 years, you'll save a ton of money on depreciation while still getting a relatively new vehicle.

I know a girl that drifts a S14 on a weekly basis during summer and follows a group of dudes that do drifting for events during winter, she's so hot she'd make you straight-ish and does all of her car maintenance herself too. Real girly too, which is weird, but it works I tell you that.

I always thought I wanted a girl that wrenches. I dated one Puerto Rican girl that did...she kinda pushed me outta the way to install a CAI and it totally turned me off. I was like, nope...let me be the man, let me fix it for you. Odd...never thought that would be the case.

J, you got emasculated by yo' lady friend?

I wish Wifey would do some wrenching. Tried teaching her to change tires... she wasn't strong enough to torque the lug nuts down Tried teaching her to change oil... she didn't like her hands getting dirty

and by "CAI", you actually meant "BBC", right? Except you're white..ish... so "BWishC"

Changed the oil on the TL last night. Glad I likely won't have to do it again until it starts warming up again in the spring. Sucks doing oil changes when it's -1345 degrees outside.

Is it just me, or does anyone else love the smell of used motor oil?

Kinda cold for that, yeah. I feel like mine might be just when it stars getting warmer, otherwise I'm just gonna bring it somewhere.

As for motor oil, I always take a whiff for science purposes.
That said, mine smells a bit like unburned fuel due to my short trip to work (3km) and the TL needing to run rich. That only smells even better.
