I think the Jillian thing was a wash out due to the Richmond meet.

About the Jillians thing...the richmond-photoshoot-gokart meet took care of that, i think go karts is a better idea than old ass arcade games.

anybody work for FedEx? I bought some lowering springs from a member on another forum last week and Fedex try delivering my package last friday but I was at work so they left a note. I called them and asked if I could pick it up and they told me they will try again on Tuesday (Oct.21) and if I'm not there then I can pick it up on Wednesday. So I track the package Wednesday morning and Fedex said it was "left at my front door at 6:56pm." I was home in my living room around that time and no Fedex truck pulls up, no knock on my door, nothing. So I call them and they tell me they are getting in contact with the driver to see if he left it at a wrong address and they will get in contact with me in 3 days. Has anybody had this issue before and whats the odds of me getting my package?

I remember before, if you wasn't home they would leave a message on your door telling you that they came by. I have had a few times in the past couple of years where they have just left the package at the front door. I think it is pretty f*cked up but that is the way i have seen it done recently.

It depends on the shipping method and whether or not you have a "signature on file" with fed ex. Some drivers are better than others.
I have had the same thing happen to me before and my shipment was in package limbo for a couple of days until it mysteriously showed up on my doorstep. Just stay on top of Fed ex and stay on top of the person who shipped it until you get it.
Oh yeah.. Hope it works out man!

For the Richmond meet.. Anyone interested in me bringing my 1100 watts/channel DJ amplifier and dual disc cd player with BBE processer. Mixer interface, with additional laptop source. Speakers are 2 MTX Dual 15" Sub per enclosure with high power horn for mids/highs. I figured that it might help to make the day a little more fun, but I am not sure how to get it all to Richmond. Any suggestions?
Call my cell if you want to chat about it. Let me know what you think.

Thanks fellas. I hope that my package shows up and I will be keeping in touch with them. They left a note the first day and I called and said I will pick it up and they told me that they will try to deliver it again (even though I told them I wasnt going to be home) and they will bring it back to the terminal if I wasnt there. So the driver decides to "leave it" but he really didnt because I was home when it was supposidely delivered.

For all of you that have been waiting.. I have great news!!!!
The new AcurazineVA gear is coming... and it's BACK IN BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
I know a lot of you have been asking for black, so I talked my wife into doing not only black t-shirts, but also long sleeve tees, and hoodies for the winter.
Mock-ups of each shirt can be found below. (images aren't exact, they will look much better in person)

ACURAZINEVA BLACK TEE $15

ACURAZINEVA LONG SLEEVE BLACK TEE $18



ACURAZINEVA BLACK HOODIE $25 (XXL and higher $27)


Payment is required in advance this time. Unfortunately several people ordered shirts for the last meet and never got them. I ended up losing that money so we will be doing either paypal or credit cards this time. PM me if you are interested in a shirt and we can make arrangements from there. If you have no way of doing paypal or credit card contact me to see if we can work something out prior to the meet.
Shirts will be delivered at the Richmond meet or otherwise by request.
I need all orders ASAP so we can get things rolling.
If you have any questions, you are always welcome to call my cell at 757-636-1987.
Hope you like the designs!
Mike

I think they are both Hanes.. I know for a fact the Hoodies are Hanes Heavy Duty, but the tees/long sleeve tees may be Hanes or Gildan (not sure).

I'm still alive....
Yeah, I've been MIA for the longest time, at least it feels like it. Must have been almost a year by now...j/k. I think it's only been about a month or so. I'm still in FL for training. I'll be back home the weekend before Turkey Day.
Okay, now to catch up...
The 2009 TL :thumsdown:
I was bored one weekend so I spent about 2 hours checking out the 09 TL. It drives decent and has some sweet functions with the Tech Package. Other than that, not much good I can say about. I agree with everyone else, the exterior is terrible. It even seems like the rear wheel well has felt or something like that in it. Doesn't seem like it would stay clean. Not sure if I like the electronic power steering or not, I don't know enough about it. I also felt very enclosed in the drivers seat. I'm not claustrophobic or anything, it just felt a lot more enclosed than the 2G and 3G. K...enough about that.

Mike....shirts
I'm in man, let me know how to pay. I'll probably pick up one of each. It's crazy that you posted this today because I was actually thinking to myself yesterday that I wish I had an AZ VA hoodie. I have an AZ one that I got a couple years ago, but I was really wanting a AZ VA one...the logo is a lot better. Like I said, let me know.

Not much new here. Was having some problems with my NAV on the trip down to FL. Ended up pulling out the center console and gauge cluster and found a loose connection back there. In all honesty, I was surprised that it has worked up to this point. I installed the Nav about 4 years ago, and to me, that connection should have never worked. Washed, clay bared and waxed her this past weekend...came out pretty damn good. I've actually had 2 people offer to buy my car since I've been down here. I'm not interested, but I was surprised. They were offering $8500 and $10,000...pretty good considering I have 122k miles on it.

Sorry for the long post, just trying to catch up....I'd be surprised if most people made it this far!

I just checked with my wife to be sure. The T-shirts and long sleeve tees are both high end Gildan 100% cotton. The hoodies are Hanes "Heavy Duty".
Hope this helps.

Hey dude, you can also try PIP imports (757)436-0098. He is in the industrial park off of Volvo and Greenbrier. He specializes in Honda and Acura cars. HE has not done me wrong in the almost 10 years that i've used him.

Yeah, it will be a while before I make it back up that way. Jax is kinda far away, almost 5 hours...don't think I'll make it out there. Sorry bro. (BTW, it's Jeff)

Man, I have not been on here in a while. Mike, if those mock ups are anywhere close, those shirts will look tight!

I need a L hoodie and a L long sleeve. How far in advance do you need the money? Call me anytime between 2:30 p.m. (when I get up for work) and 4:15 p.m. (that is shortly before I start work) daily to let me know.

Can anyone tell me what a loose suspension rattle in the front end might be? Control arm or tie rod end maybe? I hear something loose in the front end every time I hit even a small irregularity in the road. I have already jacked it up and checked for play by trying to wiggle the wheels side2side and top2bottom. I found no play. I am hoping that the warranty will be honored even though I am lowered with aftermarket rims (time for inspection too).

It's cool man... Yeah, I was thinking about heading out to a meet that the have in Jax and mapquest said it's like 6 hours away. I just don't feel like driving that far. I'll catch up with you guys once I get back in VA, as long as I am not deploying right away. I'm going back on sea duty now, so I'll be going on deployments pretty frequently for the next few years.

Sorry to hear that; I don't have to worry about deployments or anything for any year. It would have been nice it we both had our cars at the Jax meet next Sat for a change of pace. Like you; driving far is not my cup of tea.
