With such a massive trans failure thread I think it's more hit then miss. Even Acura admits it's junk they paid for trans #2 no warranty needed.

RIP my Honda Accord V6. Happened this morning on 101N near McKee. Everyone is okay.

Lady rear ended the accord so hard that it hit the car in front of it.





I'm gonna guess it's gonna be a total loss?

You will pass emissions if you left the two pre-cats alone and are still in working order.

Some places might ding you for visual though.

so i'm registering my NJ car to cali and i have no clue about the process. i know i'll have to get my car smog tested somewhere and give proof that it passed. i read that they will also do a visual inspection (pop open the hood). does anyone know if they will fail the car if the car is lowered?

When they check under your hood, they make sure all the tubes are tight and nothing is loose. They check if your have aftermarket headers and intake. If you do, they will ask for a CARB sticker for it.

They won't fail you because you're lowered. I

Congratulations bro!! I like how boobs get so much bigger when the milk comes in. I think it's a win situation for everyone in the family. Hubby likes the boobs, wife is happy with her bigger boobs, and the baby gets his milk. lol

Good luck with your sale!! Probably is the cleanest CL-S on the market right now.

I wasn't a fan of London when I was there for work 2 months ago. The Tube was stuffy and felt really dated compared to Munich's.

Thanks, V. Where about in London were you? We're still looking for flats and are trying to narrow down a few neighborhoods. Just curious to get another opinion.

I didn't work directly in London, I just stayed there during the weekends. I was at the Sheraton near LHR and took public transport into London. I was about 50min away in Swindon. Definitely avoid Swindon, super boring.

Avoid driving in London if possible, you have to pay an additional fee once you get into the city limits.

Hi everyone! Don't post much (obviously), I'm pretty good with forum etiquette, so I'll just ask this in the chat thread.

Looking to get the rear wheel wells (i.e. fenders, rear quarter panels, whatever you want to call them and floats your boat, etc.) rolled and was hoping I might be able to get some feedback on your own experiences with the various shops that offer fender rolling. I'm not even sure what the going price is these days but craftsmanship is important to me. I live in the San Jose area so feedback from the shop offerings on the Peninsula, South Bay and East Bay would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
-Joshua
