My insurance rates and weekly $45 premium gas fill-ups tend to disagree with that statement.

^$45 a week? How much are you paying a gallon man? I pay $35 max for a tank.

NAiL05

Me too. I dunno where you get around 40-45 unless you live in a place where gas is expensive as shit.

cjTL

iTrader: (2)

$35?? Holy. That's how much it'd be for me to fill up at 1/4 a tank. But ~$3.25/gal for premium. I fill up a while after the gas light comes on and the range is <10 miles. Bad habit, I know.

d-townhakuzo

Sorry...again...and that is why I don't wanna touch it. How much was that panel. Oh and lets not forget...it kinda was your idea to get my fatass in there. Though...I could've not listened and used the A-Pillar and you'd be really pissed.

trancemission

you could drive a go kart and your insurance rates will still be through the roof

and I call bullshit on the the 45 bucks a week on gas

NAiL05

True everything is expensive as a kid.

powerflow

Car looks good.

After the grille paint fully cures, might want to think about clear vinyl to help prevent rock chips and debris pits on the finish.

trancemission

That is the one thing I regret not doing after I had my grill painted.....

powerflow

Same here. When I re-do it next time, I'm going to wrap it after 30-45 days.

d-townhakuzo

Dammit. If only I thought of that earlier...

Rick_TL-S

I believe it. I just spent $40 today on Premium and that was with a 10cent discount.

NAiL05

QT is where its at lol. I dont do name brand unless the prices are down or similar. Kroger is nice too.

trancemission

Maybe its me, but I dont spend 45 a week on gas. I work everyday and still do normal driving running errands and what not.

I think he exaggerates his point to paint a picture of the TL being expensive.

Plus....my point was the 04's are so cheap that I see no issues with a 16 year old having one....hell anythings better then a fucking scion

cjTL

My point wasn't to offend you or make you defensive at all. I apologize that you took it that way. But in relative terms, a 3G TL isn't a cheap car for a 16 year old. And I filled up my tank yesterday for $43 at BP. My school is 13 miles from my house. So that's ~26 miles a day, excluding random drives to other places. I also drive 5 hours to Michigan once a month to visit my mom. Just saying it's an expenisive car since I pay for my own gas. I don't care though, I picked it as my first car.

Dtown- sorry for shitting up your thread.

Ironically, these newest pics made me want to keep my headlights with the amber. AND put my stock red tails back in. Great looking car. You need to do NOTHING. You probably won't but it looks perfect.

About the gas. In South Florida I could do about $45 a week. 1 tank...and 28 mile rounttrip to work every day with a trip or 2 to Miami or random places. If I drive nice a carefully maybe 8 to 10 days. But with my leadfoot...a week is spot on.

trancemission

You didnt offend me one bit. I just disagree with your logic.

You picked it, like you just said. So knowing that you drive 26 miles a day and 5 hours to Michigan doesnt justify your arguement that the TL is an expensive car for a 16 year old. Its an expensive car for you because of what you do with it.

trancemission

and if you have a problem with me.....dont try to call me out in another thread.....PM me

Ive been a mod on AZ for a very long time. If you dont like me being direct then dont talk to me

trancemission

Sorry for the derail Shawn

NAiL05

Choo CHoo....Crash!

trancemission

and you just indirectly added to it

NAiL05

Always do but you guys goin to cars and coffee this weekend maybe or you guys gonna skip it?

trancemission

I dunno....I wanna go....if I wake up and its raining like crazy then no.

But if it looks remotly good then sure Im up.

d-townhakuzo

Nelson...move this shit to the Dallas thread...that is what this thread is turning to...

Rick_TL-S

$45 a week is a bit much, I agree on that. I'm just misreading shit left & right today.

d-townhakuzo

I only pay around 36 every week and a half...so somethings wrong with you guys.

trancemission

Ill clean up the thread when I get home shawn.

trancemission

well....theres really nothing to clean up. everything seemed to have a purpose.

So Shawn, give us and update on your car and we'll go from there.

d-townhakuzo

Well..the car is a freaking pollen magnet. Idk what it actually is, but it looks like some yellow dust and I assumed it was pollen. I dust the car every afternoon when I get home from school with the California Duster thing...but any other suggestions to keep the pollen off?

cjTL

iTrader: (2)

Ahh you and I both. One of the few times I'm glad I don't have NBP as I can only imagine how much that color shows pollen. I'm not sure there's much you can do to keep it off of your car since it seems to stick to anything. I'm sure a fresh coat of wax wouldn't hurt- but it looks like your TL already has that.

d-townhakuzo

Lol...it doesn't. Ask trancemisson...it needs to be waxed. I need to find someone...

cjTL

iTrader: (2)

Haha I'd do it if I lived down there! I detail cars as a side job/hobby.

d-townhakuzo

Lol. I think I might try to do it my self...I need to learn...

enigmaos

iTrader: (4)

wash and wax often.

Rick_TL-S

Don't do too much tomorrow. Waste of time w/ 80% chance of rain.

d-townhakuzo

I wash often...I don't wax often...hell I think the last time I got the car waxed was in September. Damn.

And Rick...Sunday will only have 20% chance of rain and will be partly sunny. So...Sunday will seem ideal to do it.

That's not good man! I usually fill up when I'm down to a quarter of a tank. Premium around here ranges from $2.90 to $3.05 a gallon.


Sorry to derail the thread though! I hope the calipers can be done soon

d-townhakuzo

The calipers will get done whenever trance is free. And I filled up today and it was exactly $38.38

You've gotta round that shit up to the nearest quarter man! Or maybe I'm just OCD
