God help you bro. Hope your dreams comes true one day
but so now you really heading for a GTR?


========


A service after class..

Feeling of that MT, seats, stearing is pretty nice.
Made me remember S2K
Sitting low in S2K is priceless but they did a nice job on this Special Edition

It's awesome unlesssss they put a V6 in it.










I was amazed how bad the ILX is.. interior wise
Door lines + dashboard is toooo damn high
What is this a Camaro? You putting on narrow windows
+
the roof is so lower than TSX

You feel like leaning to grab the door handle pretty well



What's wrong with this side step of the new RDX?





They have the new magazines but no sign of TLX
I asked friend if they will get the NSX...he said most likey no but might have it for couple days



Only place in US I saw that uses dyson hand-dry thing

Yea.....I'm going to do something like this too. Except mine will be simpler. I'll just have a different car for the 7 days of the week.

Mumbai to NYC I understand but, Kansas is a big jump right?
Where did I land? Moon

Yeah I bet there is a good side of Kansas too but I can't imagine moving to a big state or I don't know middle of USA

I think I like New England because states feel like a city
if I want urban, drive to NYC
Suburban...drive North
and many kind of people in Boston too

That's what I am used to as a person lived in Istanbul

I see where youre coming from. VA is a decent place to live in, but its not NY. I do miss NY the longer I stay here.

AND WTF WHY IS EVERYTHING CLOSED ON SUNDAY???

It is cool though that 1.5 hours east takes you to the beach, and 1.5 hours west takes you to the mountains.

Ohhh I see
Here it's 7pm on Sunday

That goes for suburban areas, which is like pretty many many miles of radious around Boston.

Another city in MA is like 2hrs west of Boston
Actually there is one in southwest also 1hr away but naaah, a city smaller than Boston is not a city lol

I agree but its a great place to have a family....

I transferred from NYIT to UMass @ Dartmouth because I got better internship opportunities and it was cheaper and some other perks but I transferred back to NYIT within 3 days coz I just couldnt stand being in a such a small town....College towns are fun but I need a town to have some damn life !!!

But as you grow and get married and plan on having kids, I feel Kansas is one of the best places....has a decent night life, one of the best schools, crime rate is pretty low, very laid back, has great colleges....and the biggeset plus is NO FAWKING TRAFFIC !!!

Meko come down to KS....will show you around (and fall is the best time...since people (mainly girls) know summer is about to end, they party even harder )
