Anyway, it can always be resurrected if something big comes along. Like more people coming out the DFW thread . . . it seems that we add some and then lose some. I guess as long as these cars are just the current fad for most people, and are looking for the next best thing, it'll be a challenge. Other than some of the good ones like ATX and Chops who've hung around even though they don't have a CL or TL anymore.

I'll try to explain... You know how when someone might be telling a story, and another person walks into the room and hears a phrase, but they don't know the context of the phrase, so they look at the crowd with that "what the hell are ya'll talking about kind of expression"
Now, re -read it and think like a 10 year old.

The first was a guy who's son plays with my youngest on a club soccer team. He has 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS. While not to screamer that new Ferraris are, he still thought it would kill my TLS . . . . wrong . . . he had to move out of the way as I crept past him . . . slightly pulling him to 100MPH . . .
The second was some what of an odd duck. A guy in a 2008 Impala SS was being a bit of a turd coming off of east bound LBJ and getting on north bound NDTW . . . he was well ahead of me going in the turn, but I closed on him in the loop . . he then slowed way down to less than 40MPH. I figured he was a no opt and went to pass him on the left as we got on the tollway. Just as I start to pull around him he nails it and I jump on it as well . . . by 85MPH I had passed him and had almost 2 car lengths on him . . . dang . . . I so can't wait until the next track season.

SHIFT_over.so.I.can.see
^ this isn't the mark I used to know. he was all about inching down the times with the right lightweight wheel and tire combo rather than springing on headers .
what's this talk about turbo kits now?

Well, I can still go with even lighter weight wheels, but they are so pricey that I can just about get a turbo kit for the same price.
I'm gonna run 13s sooner or later . . . sooner is better.

Honda+Blue=My garage
Finally got the car back after 1.5 weeks at the dealership. Hopefully the 4th tranny is a keeper.
Guess the last one hanging aroung for only 7500 miles made them a little suspicious, they tried a solenoid replacement-no good and then ordered the tranny.
Liked the RDX loaner, but no real power. The ergonomics are awesome.

Well the time has come need to start parting out the car......So I figured I would give my homies first dibs.....Kirk yes I know we made a deal you get the headers and exhaust if you still want it.....If anyone wants to trade the comptech icebox plus a little something as well as comptech springs and tokico shocks let me know. Its been a fun ride but I'm ready to move on.
