I saw a really nice condition RL on my drive today. Nice blue grey color, Acura caliper covers. I gave him the Acurazine official sign of greeting.......but he ignored me and drove off....mustnt be on the forums...

Then this female dog of a driver royally pissed me off on the way home. Signs said merge ahead into 1 lane in 1 MILE...so the big rigs already started fetting over so she decides to move out infront of me and block me....a full mile from the merge. Man I was ticked.

I just saw a state troopper with a GT350 R pulled over...he looked like he was high fiving the guy...
I almost stopped to take pics but didn't want the trooper to feel threatened or frisk me.


Yes, R...had the CF wheels...white with blue stripes.

That's one expensive Mustang, J.

I like how the GT350 has a toggle switch inside, to open/close an exhaust actuator, electronically. Goes from fairly silent, to "watch yo self" loud in a few seconds. Gangster!

Morning fellas, just got caught up after a few days driving, got my expenses etc turned in.

And J, yeah she saw my brakelights up close once we got through, but i didnt mess too much cuz like the fellas said, i gotta get home at the end of the day.

A couple of pics to share..... I couldnt resist the mileage...Giggady.....

Anyone know where this is from? found it on my passenger floor yesterday....

didnt know if it was a particular bolt?

When i parked in OKC, had to leave Agnes with a friend!! And there was a 3rd NBP 3rd gen in the same garage i saw on way up....

bolt looks like a random bolt found somewhere in the car.
if all interior panels are tight and in correct tolerance, I wouldnt worry about 1 bolt.

my car is missing bunches of those little bolts/screws because my fat fingers cant put them back where they need to go. and all my interior is nice and tight!

I'm not exactly sure why, but I've never liked the OEM wheels for the base 07-08 TL. I much prefer the 04-06 base wheels.

Dont hate me.

I'm going to assume that bolt is somehow related to the glove box? No idea where else it'd come from.

It likely keeps your brakes from completely failing, so, uh,

That circle/line in the middle of the bolt head means it's a Grade 5215 Stainless Steel. The only place on the vehicle that Honda uses those is the manifold.

You likely now have Danger to Manifold and should not engage VTec until you can have it fixed.
