no you dont. The meet in SF was not that well cause its hard to pick a place to meet up thats large enough, traffic is bad and not a lot of places to eat to fit everyone. its better to go elsewhere in the bay.

but it was a fun meet still cause there was a lot of people.

Parking is the most challenging part to doing things in groups.

There are places to accommodate our size but parking was very difficult to coordinate.

Fort Mason, Fort Miley are great places for parking and photoshoots. We could also meet on the roof of a movie theater as well lol there is one in Daily city. I lived in SF for 2.5 years so I kinda know places. As for food, there is a restaurant at 33rd and clement.

Can u tell me where and when they meet this sat? I feel too lazy to go and read 5 pages of rumors and someone's personal life

No way... The TL is definitely at least a couple seconds quicker off the line than my Mazda3. However, I would have to say that I'm more comfortable driving that car through the twisties than the TL.

I wouldn't mind dropping my TL about an inch with decent springs. But then I might as well consider new shocks and sways. Well... if I'm spending that much money, I might as well find a good set of coilovers. See? Problem is, funds are limited, and I'm just done with modifying cars. They take up too much of my money.

Yep... Enjoy that youth and no kids thing while u can.

After talking about dropping the TL, I thought about it and I really want to go with something subtle. I don't want to pay the price of OEM a-spec, and I don't really want higher rated springs, either. I'm looking into dropping the car a little over 3/4-in with the Koni Yellows and keeping the stock springs. That will allow be to adjust the ride and reduce the gap between the tire and fender to a noticeable amount. Anybody here have, or know someone that has, this particular set-up? I've already resurrected a year old thread in the 3G TL forums.

Idk about the 3G's but a few 2G guys have had the koni yellows but most got better springs. Im prob going with TOKICO HP Series shocks & springs. It will give me the small drop I want plus a stiffer ride.
