Those look rather small for how black they are.

Maybe that's how Morgan likes it.

Different strokes for different folks.

I'm really sorry, it usually doesn't take this long. It's not you, it must've been the drinks at dinner, really.

Duh...you know I love your car(s) and skill(s). I'm hoping they make the seat install easy.

You know something...on the TL I have all plate LED's and the CCFL on my license. I had actually thought that I'd keep it simple by not even messing with any of the lighting on the S...

Hmmm...I may have to consider it. I hate the mod bug...it's expensive...and makes me feel like a very fickle person.

I bought 10 LEDs on eBay for $2 shipped. It's not always expensive if you don't mind waiting 18 days for your order to arrive.

Handling, acceleration, and MPGs really aren't very different.

I lost the RL due purely to my own fault. My priorities have changed drastically since I bought it, and I needed something to help with the projects around my house. I got $21k for the RL, owed $16k, and picked up the Tundra for $11,900 OTD with 140k miles. There are times that having a big truck is great, but there are plenty of others where I miss a nice car. In due time I will get back into something I want more than I need. (Then I'll have a truck too.)

Worst part about that LED discussion we had is I actually probably HAVE enough LED's from my previous trial and error's to outfit the S2000 and my wife's SRX. Maybe I will...

Corgi wants a BRZ headlight to match the boomerang LED on the tailight.

He should have just bought a BRZ.

what's sad to me is that the 2jz (a 10+ yr old motor) is still the go to for the import platform... i can't believe something better has been developed since then...
