I rarely mash the gas anymore. Well, unless I come across a tunnel, then I have to make that ATLP scream.

this will also make your springs stiffer so you will be able to redline past 8000rpm....

make sure you add 1% by vol to your engine oil (.047 qts) and a little to your vac port for making your injectors better flowing

Working from home would drive me insane. I get annoyed going to the same office 3-4 times a week.

Being on a dedicated account was the worst for me. Im glad it only lasted 3 months.

I could see how that would drain you. I was on a project in Florida, NC, SC, and Georgia. I would leave VA Sunday night, put in a 70 hour week wherever I was sent, fly home Friday night, then do it all over again. It was tiring, but I loved the overtime and not putting wear and tear on my car. It was also nice that we were paid all travel time, which included air travel. I loved delays

I'm so confused...LOL! Swoosh, if you do move to Denver...I need more 3G modders around! Car scene is decent, definitely seasonal, but some pretty good shows, meets, etc. Anyway, back on topic...just keep planning Tyler, it'll work out man. Sounds like you have quite a bit of the whole thing blueprinted already. Pre-paid programs can be a PITA...especially when you don't use them for in-state public tuition. I deal with 529s and have to let people know of the pros/cons with having different types of plans every time. Regardless, as said before you have plenty of support it sounds like...and you must make it to KC sir! That's an order! LOL JK!

^^303 is a good area.

Tyler, reading your little story a page back, totally there with you. I was signing paperwork for my TL and just thinking...'man I know I'm gonna hate this thing next week'...I'm just not ready to be an 'adult' I guess. I've also been working since like 12 y/o, and for the most part covering my own shit. finally got a game console when i was 19 lol...

i think we would alllllll love to have an s2000 as well.

^^^yes please...

really?!?! you guys thought you'd hate the 3G?!
It's one of the only cars on the road, even in base and unmodded form, that make me look twice. It's a modern day classic, drives like it's a much smaller car but mature enough for an over 30 year old to be in it and modding it. I loved my RSX but when I sold it...I had 4 people come take a look at it....ALL were about 19 years old. I was 30. It was my time to move on.

i love the looks. i bought it because it was the most appealing 'normal' car out there. i could drop it low, get wheels and tint and rock it for 5+ years.

but being an adrenaline junkie to the core, I want to blow my brains out driving it trying to get my rocks off. just doesn't work.

but it's such a smart move to get it, i just need something else on top of it. if i had that, i wouldn't be so down on the 3g

Sean,
that FMIC on that Audi of yours...that wasn't just for show, huh!?!?

I agree...only difference between you and me, aside from photo touchup skillz, is that the TL is the most powerful car I've owned (and most modded). Every car I get is a step up. I'd have a hard time taking a step back. So, I feel you (in theory, at least).

J.

1988 Ford Taurus Station Wagon
1987 Toyota Corolla SR5 (very fun, carb'd and rwd, wish I still had it)
1991 Civic hatch DX
1997 Accord LX
2002 Nissan Frontier (my, "I'm adult now" purchase...auto and slow...lasted 5 weeks)
2004 EP Civic SI Hatch (LOVE, totaled)
2005 RSX-S in Blaze Orange Metallic (love hate, hurt to lose the EP, RSX clear step up)
04 TL 6MT Aspec (loved it from day one, picked it for my stepdad with intention to buy out his lease...when the time came, wasn't done fkng my previous girl...the RSX...but had to strike while the iron was hot).

Now, I ain't selling ISH...I would miss this car like nobody's business...I have days where I'm like F this car...I want teh RWDZ!!! OR more power...but something else goes along with those desires...usually a +$30k price tag.

So instead, I wash my car...and take pics of her...or put on rotors...

We are starting to get somewhat back on track I see

For what I need a car to be right now, the TL is perfect. Sporty with a touch of class. Later in life I hope to afford something along the lines of the TL for daily driving and then have something for the weekends that makes me shit myself every time I mash the gas.

^^exactly guys! the TL is a step up from the s4 stock in terms of CHP, i made sure to at least do that. all my buddies still have >300 whp dailies though, which makes me want another fast daily badly. but the combo doesn't work well. so the TL was my stepping stone to get another project. which i think will either be dedicated drifter/street terror or a bike. a fast bike.

Tyler, like i'm saying, fast is awesome, but you NEED a seperate reliable car. and no one wants to roll in a stock corolla hahaha.
