As long as i do it before 15 days before the trip, something like that then no penalties.

Trip isnt till May 28th and i havent booked the tickets or anything yet. Its actually cheaper to fly there around November...

Hell NSX has been up for sale for a month and getting no bites either. Guess i was all giddy on the great deals since cars werent selling that i forgot the used car market tanked as well.

Anyone have any issues with lights going out on their car? I have a tail light out and this is the second bulb to be replaced since I took ownership of the car. Not sure if the first replacement was the same bulb (doesn't say on the paperwork).

Common? I can't imagine so.

Maybe the bulb carriers are bad. The early E92s had a bulletin to replace the bulb carrier for whatever side had a bulb out due to a defect in the bulb holders which would cause the light to come on.

He's got it. I had a "left brake light malfunction", took it in, replaced bulb, the next day same thing. Took it in, they replaced the bulb carrier, no problems since. I know other guys who have had the same problem.

A notice for what? There should be a warning on in the dash (+ a check control message in the nav if you have one) for a bulb out.

Yeah I know. Just can't bring myself to drop the coin. I'm waiting on my accountant to tell me how much MORE taxes I owe for 08 before I buy anything big. Besides I've promised my wife a Rolex and I got my eye on a Pam as well.

Those blacklines tails make a world of difference. Do you guys know if they're going to make something like that for the newer LED tail lights?

My front lip is plastic painted gloss black to match the black trim on the car.
The rear diffuser is CF painted gloss black as well.
Had the mate black grill surrounds and side grills painted black also.

sigh Im going to be be selling my 335 soon. I need the funds (car is fully paid off) Im moving out of state so im thinking of picking up a nice 4 door truck with 4x4 for my snowboarding trips. Im moving bck to VA and Im going to need all the cash I can muster to get my self off to the right start with a new job and place to live. At time moment that is what is important to me, as much as I love her it's going to make me cry to see her go. but hey we move onto bigger and better things.

i heard the gearbox is a lot smoother in the 135's then in the 335's. Have you driven both?

Very cool, btw. That color combo looks familiar....
