Sad, but proud also. My '04 got an unmanageable repair bill at 68,000 miles.
Is USA money common in Chechnya?

Hey Sandalet, that's some interesting dash handiwork! We'll need pics when it's completed.

In addition, it's nice to see you guy's are able to break through the inside communication barriers, to the West, Kadyrov and VP instill upon you.

Yo! That's looking tight! What is the pretty penny for something like that? Are you going to match the seats or get some other skins?

@rockstar143 I detest those two absolutely despicable murderous despots.
Hopefully, Sandalet feels the same; however, I doubt he would admit to it on the interwebs. :wink: Any time someone reaches out on this forum from those regions and identifies as such, that shares our car enthusiast interest in Acura's, I always try to interact, if possible. It's a special treat for me.
