My thousandth was "spent" on a Black Market message. Boooo! Hopefully I'll get my rims prior to my 1,500th so I can justly celebrate, although I'll still post pics the second I can regardless of when the rims come.

That's why you've been accelerating your message posting rate. Don't lie!

Nah, I didn't for real. But I will admit that when I saw it approaching 2K I wanted to have a nice NBP pic waiting on it! I originally was going to do that pic in a lighter setting, but thought nah...gimme the darkside!!!!

You know, as I said to you guys before, my posting output is a by-product of how I am in real life. I love to talk shit all the time and I'm congenial/gregarious by nature. So that equals "talks a lot"! I may chill out a lot, but I do talk a lot too! I also like to help folks, else if I wasn't the way I am, man shit, I would probably have only as many posts as it took me to get Stella done.
Some of you newer guys may not have noticed, but I was a late bloomer when it came to posting pics. It took me a long time to post a pic, probably just the last couple of months really...I have a lot of catching up to do bro!

I'm only messing with you. I think most of us are aware of your jovial and outgoing personality. It's all good, my brother.
It's funny how all of us have this "relationship" with each other even though many of us have never met in real life; I for one have never met anyone from AZ. We all have the TL bond in common, though. That's good enough for me!

I met Chris (jdm something) at the locksmith place, who did all of our 07 switchblade keyfobs in the DC/MD/VA area. Also another guy who was getting his TL modded when my headlights got done. Tonyph33r while he was out and about and asked about my headlights. That's it!
Oh yeah, I saw JJaber06 asleep one day last week in his ride at work! I meant to blow my horn and wake his ass up, but thought he must be on break so I didn't disturb him. I'm sure it was him because of the wheels, and he said he worked in Bethesda!

Thanks Balla...
I was having a great debate with myself over whether or not to remove the moonroof wind deflector. I'm going to keep it on for now. I was weighing the pros and cons, and the pros far outweigh the cons:
Pros:
1)I paid for it (lol)
2)Cuts down on overall wind noise
3)I can talk on the HFL with roof open (at least in the city, where I drive the most, haven't tested hwy yet)
4)Doesn't look hideous
5)If I remove it, there may be stuff to fix appearance wise from what others have said as far as paint loss or damage from rubber seal (see below)
6)No one ever said anything about it on here or real world before I mentioned it.
Cons:
1)Aesthetics (disruption, tho not extreme, of roof line)
2)Apparently, as told by others here in 3G, the rubber seal eventually messes up the paint on the roof in that spot. That if you take it off after a couple years, there is some minimal damage there. In some cases biting into the roof. So, concern was there for them on resale value. I think that is not an area of concern if you don't take it off because how will you see it? The seal would be covering it. It's not like someone is going to say "Hey! Take that off so I can inspect the roof!" Plus, it's not a hardcore mod like a CAI. So I don't see the problem there with the seal damage thing.
No one has ever come up to me and said nice car, but it would probably look better without that damn deflector up there. Please remove that hideous monstrosity cuz I'm about to puke!! Yeah, nobody has ever said that. If someone were to say that, THEN, I may remove it! LOL!
So Stella keeps her accessory for now...

I went to Mexico for a week, and then I went to North Carolina for a week! I've been on tour! I'm glad that I did though...you guys have been crashing NBPs like crazy!! Damn! Since I'm an obvious spokesperson for the best color on da TL, I might've been targeted! Good going for the guys that escaped these past two weeks, and pour out a lil liquor for the ones that didn't!
