Enjoy that award while you can, cuz it won't last long. ![:O](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/embarrassment.gif)
<-- 21 hours from my front door. Hope to be making the trip soon and rep the Stock 4 Lyfe crew hard yo.
Great writeup though, I enjoyed reading it.
You did a hell of a better job taping up your front end than I did to mine. Learned the hard way to always start from the top. ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Glad you guys had a good time. Super jealous I couldn't make it. Love long road trips.
I bet your parents weren't too happy about your waxing spot.

We don't have White Castle here but something VERY similar called Krystal. There aren't any local to me but they are popular down in Florida were I was born and raised.
I drove through your state, yall drive slow as fuck. My cruise control was set at 7 over the speed limit and I was blowing past people like they were stopped.

I know dude, I wish you could have made it. There's always next year!
Haha thanks dude! You know I'm a HUGE fan of your car.
Remember Craig is in Indiana and I'm in North Carolina so there's quite a gap between us![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Thank you sir! I hope one day I'm rocking expensive wheels and slammed as fawk like you are![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Thank you sir! That would be awesome if you and some of the TX crew made the drive. I had a blast.
Yeah I'm getting it out of my system now before I get old ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
How long did it take you for that trip?
An oil change next week![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
I'm at 1042xx right now so the dreaded 105k service is coming up. I'll have my pressure switches and all of that shit done at the same time.
Besides maintenance, I REALLY need to be done with my car. Yeah I want the new Tein coilovers and this and that but it's not really worth it as of right now. I just got my 2-year degree from a local community college and I'll most likely be at a university this fall or spring which is an hour south of here. I need to get my priorities straight and focus on school, something that I've never really done. Putting the TL on the back burner is going to be hard but it needs to happen so I can help myself be successful later in life. Don't worry, the car won't rust and become a scrap of metal on the side of the road, but I won't be devoting all of my time and energy into it like I have been recently.
I won't turn it away

Yes I did. Do you approve?
Since John's gay ass bumped my thread for no reason, I thought I would post some pics. Up first is the ID thing that everyone at the National Meet got once they registered their car:
![](http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz100/CLtotheTL32/Build%20Thread/DSC_0026-4.jpg)
This is everything I got at the meet. Acura pocket knife, Acura LED flashlight, Acura hat, Acura umbrella, Toyo Tires tire pressure reader thing, a few bags, and some other little stuff. Pretty cool!...

Last week I met up with member mglum to grab a few beers. He doesn't visit the forum too often but he loves the TL. Here are just a few shots I took...

He's running Work Emotion CR-Kai in matte bronze. 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear. I can't remember the offsets though. I think +40ish front and +28ish in the rear. His suspension set up is TEIN SS and it rides wonderfully.
When I first got there, I knew where I was going to park...

I cleaned my wheels about a week ago and that's it. Every time I plan on washing it, it rains. I'm not going to waste my time if mother nature wants to wash it.

Forever I know but I've been playing fight the landlord for the past month with my security deposit, so I had to pay out of my pocket for my new place. Finally getting it back this week. I'll FB the pics or something idk I'll let you know man.

Story of my life lately. We get about two days of sun then rain for three or four days off and on. And I love CR-Kai's. They are one of my favorites. Car is looking good as usual Tyler. Hope all is well in NC!

Yeah Matt's CRs are dope, I love them too. My only gripe is that they are really common. Yeah they are Works, baller $tatus and all, but I feel like they are everywhere.
No worries about the film dude! I'm really excited to see how they turned out. Are you having them developed and then scanning them onto the computer or what?

That's Pilot Mountain, ya hay-seed, red-neck.
![Roll Eyes](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
You need to take a ride over there one day and hit SR 66 near Hanging Rock State Park (great road) and then take the drive up Pilot Mountain. It's all paved and everything; not like home where you gotta tape the car up.
Vinyl on the roof looks good. I need to do that .... and about 50 other things.

And I didn't reset the trip computer while driving either. I reset it while sitting at the gas station and then got on the road. I'm averaging about 23mpg per tank now.

This is from roll 1 of 4 that I've gotten developed, it costs me NINE DOLLARS to get ONE roll done. Ridiculous. Really happy with most of the shots though. Here's one of my car from the national meet.

There's a couple more here from a few weeks ago when I finished this roll off.

Car is looking great Tyler...
since you love pictures as much as me...try out picnik.com pro...it's like $25 for the year and allows to do a lot of touching up for dummys...that's what I used to tweak the pictures I had posted in my thread...they were really average pictures before adding some color or other things.
