Dammit I am trying to copy pictures and type since 30 minutes, accidently closed the window without posting anyways..here we go again

Thanks guys
It's just a cellphone pic but I saw many people around with big dslr cameras
Sooo many beaufiull spots to take picture of

Today it's raining and taking all the snow
Friday and Saturday was awesome

Anil, mom took it away from me


Dad said, she needs it. I said ok, let me drop MDX and take ma TL
because I am looking for a reason to try the TL
and he is like yeah... sure and then drop the bumper on the road

shut up and take the FX
Naaaah, ok at least nice exhaust haha

FX doesn't feel comfortable as MDX though, I bet even a noob could feel it
Think about a snowy road. I am doing full throttle with MDX, thing goes like a tank

Tried that with FX, rear started to move out, had to control the car.



Saturday Morning







Saturday from 4pm to 3am, I was on the road doing food delivery for dads restaurant
Can't describe how fun was that
Don't think straght road, sooo many hills in here Boston, that's what makes it fun

Getting stuck on snow: None
Drving slow: None
Getting scared to enter a spot: Just once, I didn't try one road that was full of snow, no one touched it and back of our store, our parking spots












Worst thing is, so many people using roads to walk





This is the moment, that I just can't forget. Point that I said this car is a tank
This road is one way, downhill and pretty long hill
On the staight, that delivery guy (Dominos) got stuck

I hit the reverse and start climbing back, forget the hill, snow was fresh on Saturday night...worst traction ever
and she did it, it was amazing hahahah

I'll take a picture of the hill later on...not with FX or course








I helped so many people though. I am coming down the street like crazy, seeing a car that got stuck and all does is just floor the pedal
and other cars on the other direction are watching waiting for him

Idiots...
I stop and jump out of the car directly and start helping him, after couple of minutes other morons understands and comes out to push the car

All you gotta do is R and D little by little, it will take you out
Full throttle at D won't helpppp

I walked in to some old people at restaurant, they say this snow is nothing compared to 60s
but we all used to get out and help people, we were young back then
shovel streets, help cars...
Now, we don't see anything like that



Back of our store



All the way on the right back corner



When I saw it and say fcuk that



Back lot again





I opened up a spot for me













Pic from mom my in there sleeping

Heeil no, not now Anil, I need some warm air haha

Yeah Tyler, weekend was awesome but no more snow on the roads, rained.
I know right, usually exhaust is loud and sexy at higher RPM, this Alfa is sexier at lower RPM, perfect for a daily
Alfas are alllllllways different than other cars, I know it.. Owners know it
Oh maaaaaaan, I want one













AND look who is here









My dad...
FX feels like a Rolls Royce after TL



I was about to throw some at thim but he has black belt

Now how is your TL supposed to plow the snow for everyone else if you don't lower it and get that aspec IN THERE...!?!?!?


Seriously though...I make my jokes and I love skiing and every time I've been in snow it's been on vacation pretty much...but living in that every day and having to deal with moving the equivalent of a dozen whale carcasses to get to WORK every day (we're not talking going on a mission to get laid, that would be easy...who wants to GO to work?)...looks fkn brutal. No wonder so many people end up saying FK IT, and retiring to Florida.

Jeremy when it snows that much, we dont go to work

we work from home

but i agree, when I lived in an apartment and parked the TL under the open sky...going to work after even a 3" snow fall was crazy coz you go outside, clean the snow off the door edges....start the car and turn the heater on....come out and clean the snow off your windshield and exterior rear view mirrors....but lucky enough she sleeps in a garage now and this winter wasnt tooo bad at all

its a ton of fun driving in the snow though....as illustrated by Meko in his MDX video LOL

shudup, J lied


J. I will slam the TL, and shovel the parking lots for money
I love FL too but only Miami, other parts were boring, oh oh oh Disney World too
As you said, best place for retiring though
A friend moved to Miami, from NYC after graduating last summer..

Austin, to be honest, I didn't notice it that much while running at outside with MDX or got used to it but after seeing those pictures again...wow wow wow

Anil, I have more videos but I am scared you guys will do at me
Here have them



I cleaned the car today, inside out
Miss seeing her clean

Ohhh about modding.. yeah J. true
But If I had a Z, I would keep it simple, just rims and height, that's all

Austin, I would buy this and save money instead of those rims haha

Another



It's 3"
Filter section is 3.5" I think
I will cut that filter section though, to keep it shorter and straight + could get longer AEM intake now

This is my only choice, 8" long
one shorter version is 5", the one I have
But I thinks it's too short

5 or 8???
