The gas money to get to Chicago and back is already more than what I want to spend.... But.... I do want to get out to Chicago again. I was there about 8 years ago but didn't get to see much. I was there for management training for a job I had. Told the girlfriend we should have a weekend in Chicago.


You guys need to stop drinking those stupid NOS drinks, they are in no way good for the body.

So I'm possibly getting a Type-S! Checking it out this week and if all goes well, the base 08 TL will be replaced with a sweet 08 Type-S!

Ha, I've had it for a year... The TL-S is extremely cheap, and if it's all good, it's a steal of a deal.. can't pass it up!

No matter how cheap it is.... unless your getting it from a junk yard... I cant see how you would NOT be upside down on your loan but hey, when your young with no responsibilities like some of us have.... FUCK IT!!!!

I'm actually about even with my loan. Surprisingly, the car has kept it's value fairly well. I was surprised when I got the quote back for it. BUT, that doesn't matter because the TL-S was a POS lol... it rode like crap and was beat up.. oh well

luckyjakob, save that money and do more stuff to your car to make it one of a kind. Make people break necks, drop jaws, & even brake just to get a glance at your car .

Mine's not a Type S, yet I'm happy with what I transformed it into the 8months that I had it.

Yeah, I saw yours when we were at Rice Killers on Monday. Looks good man. I've got plans for my car already, was discussing with Jorge and them. A-Spec front lip is on order as are my Eibach Pro-Kits i got a little ahead of myself by ordering them now, especially since I'm not putting them on until next spring lol

Thanks . Yeah everybody gets a little a head of themselves from time to time, nothing wrong with that. Sounds like you're off on a good start. I'm ready for some new wheels lol, maybe sometime during next Spring or summer time.

Yeah, I figured I know I'm going to keep the car and I know what I want, so why not right?!

I like the wheels on yours, but nothing wrong with changing it up! I think once spring comes I'm going to go with some Enkei EKM3's. I think they'd look pretty good on the car

Yes I agree it took me a while to get my last car the way I wanted it. I am going to take my time on this one too. Hey I wanted to ask you were did you get the ACURA caliper sticker I have been looking for some but have not been able to find any.

I bought them off ebay from Canada, they were the only ones I can find.
Edit: I didn't know you guys look at my car that close. The paint on the calipers is slowing fading off, it bugs me.

Sorry I had to ditch out last Saturday guys. We terminated people and with people quitting left and right I'm the one who has to cover shifts so I ended up working Saturday. You guys should plan a fall meet up north here, we can plan out a nice long cruise up the north shore.

That is attention to detail. I am going to keep searching let me know if you run in to these again. Yes when paint does that in sucks, but you can retouch them again.

Yes I am planning on it. We can meet at the same place. Unless you have a different spot. It starts at 6:30 PM I would like to get there earlier like 5:30 or 6:00. I will phone you tomorrow and we can set up details.

We definitively have to have one before the snow gets here. Hey I might be going to Duluth a lot more now. I will PM you the details or call you it is more personal that way.

By the way we waited for you too. Your not getting of that easy.
