No but I did watch the Machida vs Evans fight shortly after it was over on youtube. Good stuff. Karate-man owned.

BlackuraTL

lol that's the fight I was hoping people saw. Machida owned but only after like 3 rounds of them both chasing eachother around the octagon giving eachother high fives

ts_vaj

True, most of his fights he's just keeping his distance....he's a real fast striker and he's got that odd long range Karate stance. I'm sure he's got some groundwork backup as well since he does have that black belt in BJJ.

BlackuraTL

No it wasn't that it was because you could tell Rashad was afraid and was taking it easy and not making a move

Yes Josh nothing like AutoX on a 50,000 Ferrari. Who cares if you if you hit 10 cones with this beauti just be prepare to live with it. Oh and it's red just like Scoob.

Damn, that's worth a thought or two. Problem is, I couldn't drive it to any company functions without getting a LOT of shit from anyone that saw me roll up. That, and I would have to start acting all uppity.

I had a friend that had one of these, he loved it, and it was damn fast, but it costs a fortune to maintain it. And forget about modding it...

It would be fun to work on a Ferrari though, and to see that every night as I walked into the parking garage. Hell, I'd prolly drive to Grumpy's if I had that thing, and it's only 100 yards or so door to door.

phitech

josh if you did get it i dont think i would even get near it, just because am in fear that i may scratch it. =D

asujosh1

I think that we can effectively say that it would be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG shot at best to get that car. Given that it still has 4.5 days of bidding to go, I will bet that it goes for $80 or 90K, possibly even more.

Slepybear

i don't think i can go to rockfalls.. i have finals next week and have o practice for a paintball tourny next week

asujosh1

How do you practice for paintball?

I should have the Scoob back by the weekend, if I do I might make the trip. Not that I am going to race it, but it might be a nice opportunity to take it for a spin...

Slepybear

paintball is actually a sport, most people don't think of it as one, but do a little research.. i've played all over the country, we get sponsors.. it's like most other sports. practice for paintball is scrimmaging and drills.

asujosh1

No shit Sherlock, I used to have a team when I was in HS, I know what it is. Just wondering what you consider 'practice'.

BlackuraTL

hahaha

I would love to go but it is starting to look like I have alot on my plate. Birthday, wedding and possibly baseball. I will let you guys how things look like by Friday.

WannabeG

Matt, we gotta go paintballing.

ts_vaj

Paintball huh....interesting...does it get pretty tactical?

Razzi

Alpha team bingo on your right. Bravo team i want a wide sweep left, corral block then a flash bang entry...

phitech

for some odd reason that sounds like my CS team that i was in...

Slepybear

we aren't tactical, we play x-ball, or speed ball.. although from time to time i like to beat up on the woodsball guys

Razzi

i too count beating balls as a past time

asujosh1

I kind of figured you were a speedballer...

Not a baller, mind you...

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Anyone got suggestions on where to go for tint? Just purchased an 04 TL and want to tint the windows out. What kind of price am I looking at?

05TLRIDER

I say MN Sun Control (there's one in St Paul and one out by Buerkle Acura). I think mine was like $280 for all the windows and sun roof too. I'm actually thinking about getting it re-done darker soon. DON'T, repeat DON'T go to Ziebarts! They do a crappy job and it looks like crap in the end!!!!!!!

bred0061

Great I'll look into that... Just had to get new pads and rotors on my front brakes so might have to wait a bit before I can get it tinted. What is the darkest we can go before the 5-OH start to get annoying?

05TLRIDER

That's a sensitive subject on here lately

I'm at 35% and haven't had a problem, knock on wood! I used to have 20% on my previous car and never had a problem. My friend is running 20% on his windows and 5% on the back and hasn't had a problem yet. I suppose it depends on how much of a jack@$$ you drive like.

bred0061

Good point. Well I like to think I drive okay but i guess that's not up to me to decide. I put an email into the place you recommended too so hopefully not to long from now my car will look that much nicer. Trying to think what else I should do to it. I'm lovin it so far

asujosh1

I had a guy in Owatonna do my tint for about half of what all the local shops quoted me, 35% in front, and 20% in back, and I have a couple more windows than the TL. I think it was $200 all in.

Just talked to the body shop, no Scoob until Monday at the earliest. They couldn't get some of the warning lights to turn off on the dash, and the alignment still needs to be done.

Major bummer...

ts_vaj

Tint tax just depends on the individual cop. I have been driving since highschool with 35% and 30% tints and never been pulled over for it yet. Even when I was pulled over for speeding(10mph over limit), they still didn't check my tints. If you're gonna break the law, you might as well go 30%-15% where it really matters.

I got my tints done by the old owners of Street Scenes for $180 and $200. They are still holding up perfectly with no fading or peeling at all.

BlackuraTL

MN law is 50% but screw that I have 28% on meter. I went to Ziebarts lol 05Tl my car looks great they did a great job on mine. What happened to you that you don't like it.

Slepybear

they did my windows and it looks fine?

WannabeG

Dont come to EP with that tint..

BlackuraTL

lol well duh its EP cops there have nothing to do but help retired people find their dogs they look for kids to mess with

phitech

well guys am heading to rockfalls raceway in a few hours so see you guys there who ever is going =D
