Thanks, I loved it too because it matches the interior
to me blue is the true second color of the TL

Copper pulled me way too much because of orange fogs and parking bulbs
oh and I always liked rockstars copper orange engine bay

Dad said it will snow another +6" tomorrow
Gave me the FX again

and I hate you guys, now I can't live with this height the TL has or 4x4 (right Austin )
Before I used to say, naah it's ok hahaha but not anymore
Just wishing for spring to come

Once it bites, it bites hard.

You think, "I don't need to go lower, my ish looks hawt."

Then 6 months later you're slammed.

J and everyone else told me, "you'll be slammed eventually", "yeah right", now look

We're supposed to get some bad snow here on Thursday, MEKO. If we do, that probably means it's coming towards you guys 2-3 days later.

I was in Boston for part of the day on Sunday...just popped in to visit my brother and then had to head to CT. If I had more time, I would've given you a shout, Meko. I can say that people don't know how to drive in Boston and I almost killed 5 people in the city bc they just walk right out in front of you when you're going full speed down a busy street...not even in a crosswalk.

Yes yes yes yes yes Now somebody understands me

Just like I mentioned before, they just can't drive
I guess because of so many young people..student's
+
They always use T and just rent a car when they need one. No experience
I always stay away from zipcars. They are everywhere

I was in a town meeting at Church here, you know the big guys that decide everything before it goes town hall. First big topic was pedestrians and bikes

They are everyhwere
The day I was doing delivery with MDX from 5pm to 3am, positive I saw more people on roads then cars. I undestand sidewalks are full of snow but at least stop and give me some room to pass

Wish you told me I would've come and see your car for a second

I've driven in NYC many times...I still feel like Boston is worse. Usually in NYC people know better than to step into oncoming traffic. The student pedestrians in Boston don't even look...they just walk right out into the street.

That is hilarious....

I have driven in boston and NYC and NYC seemed more like home to me (no traffic rules and violations back in India )....Boston seemed like 'Murica where people do have and most do follow rules....

^^^ well it was (like in the video) back in the days....things have changed ever so slightly....but u know what in the 5 years I have driven/rode in India, never ever ever an accident....yeah bike mishaps coz you are trying to impress a chic are inevitable....

the 5 years I have driven in America with all the rules and laws....thousands and tickets and accident every time it drizzles....

and about life preservation....India is the second biggest population and the most densely populated country....think we are doing just fine LOL

Most of Asia (China and Vietnam in particular) is like that too, Anil. No rules, just drive and pray.

^That link is amazin
Just drive and pray

The problem here is that most of the drivers care about the windshield, instead of 360 of the car they are driving.

Austin, Mac 11? Whatever this guy says relates to Apple somehow

I agree with John, people in NYC has brains.

I agree with Redsand too about that video but that's how people got used to it. If you ask me that traffic flows. No accident will happen on a flow traffic like that. No one is daydreaming, no time to.

but if you take a driver from here and put him in to India...oh shit haha

Steven when did you come to Boston Come again










AEM filter is here too

MEKO-I was in Boston a hundred years ago-to visit a woman! We had a great time. I saw the Bruins play at the old, original Boston Gardens.

@ the link John...

but I think 1 thing you are forgetting is population density of america is 88people/sq mile....that of India is 954 people/sq mile....so roughly 11 times....

with that population if people drive in lanes/follow speed limits, they will never get anywhere....I used to laugh (when I was back in India) on stories about people falling asleep at the wheel is US....I often thought to myself, how is that possible....but I feel asleep behind the wheel the first time I drove in US (was going from NY to Boston)....Driving in India engages you completely....

As I said whatever works for the people (people and not country)...Loved driving in India as no speed limits, cutting through traffic and constantly being aware of your surrounding....and it was not just me, but everyone around you drives like that and hence no accidents....my insurance was the low as a mofo....no tickets....

When am here, I love driving because you have a 99.999% more chance of making it home......
