It has basically come down to an '12 Acura MDX Tech and a '12 Infiniti FX35 with Premium and Nav packs (essentially have the same features on both vehicles) both in white :P



It is going to be a tough decision... :/
Seeing as Josh hasn't been around in awhile do I get to be the one who shits on whatever car you get this time? J/K

BTW I am just wondering why a young man as yourself is getting a soccer mom SUV when you could be enjoying having a sport coupe/convertible or some sort of cool sedan?

I used to have those exact rims, tried to pawn them off on Jorge. Ended up buying OEM rims and powdercoating them.

If you guys want to set up a meet we would be more than happy to do it here at the shop if you guys need a spot. We can fit quite a few cars out here and we can do BBQ etc. We can also try to get the guys and maybe some MNHondas guys out and try to get a decent size meet going.

That sounds perfect I say lets set a date if you have a grill there everyone else brings food for sharing it should be a great time. I say set limits on what people cannot do. It is your place of business. lets start working on a date. Sunday seems to work for us. By the way there was a guy from a podwer shop at RK meet tonight you should go sometime good adverticement Lets do this.
