That car is alright...
Well when I got there, which was 2:00 and everyone was moving out. We took 101N and then I decided to take everyone on the scenic route to 84 W and then 280N. I should have taken you guys to 92 and then 280, but I didnt see 92 yet so I just took 84. Some of you was probably thinking where the hell are we going.

These are some of the photos I took at the meet that I posted in the TSX section.
All the TSXs that made it to the meet.
Wong's car with re-finished lips that look 100x better than before and slammed as always.
Sherman's car underwent a transformation with J's Racing, Work, Mugen, and Rays.
Close up of his new installs.
Greddy, J's Racing, and Mugen exhaust.
My favorite photo taken at the meet with the incorrect settings

One issue is eating...we don't have parking lots like in other cities that's for sure.
That makes group dining events very difficult to plan.
I would have another meet in that location but eating wouldn't be a good idea in San Francisco.
It's so lame!!! San Francisco is KNOWN worldwide for cuisine and restaurants but no one can get parking there!!!
Everybody takes cabs and you guys can see why!

Well...crowded would depend on which way you went home.
I told everyone to take 19th Avenue to 280 instead of Van Ness to 101.
But hey...you know some chose to go that way and I'm sure they paid for it traffic wise.
We do have bad roads...totally f*n lame but the meet location had great roads!

Always Sunset or Great Highway on the weekends....didn't you grow up here?

But this was the easiest directions for people to follow that don't live in San Francisco.
Of course I would take Sunset or Great Highway!
But that's because I am familiar with the roads.
A lot of these guys were not very familiar with San Francisco so I tried to propose an easy solution.

^Thanks man, your car was in perfect lighting and posture so I took some snaps. Photography is all about timing and place and I noticed you were just right! Wanted to light up the front rim more, but the jpeg conversion darkened it up... I'll see if I can fix that one for ya.
It's a 18-200mm telephoto f/2.8 on the zoom from the stairs. The rest were the standard 17-70mm @ f/3.5 and slower shutter speed.

My F'n tranny blew last night!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was stuck on the sunol grade (YEAH! THE WORST PLACE TO BE STUCK ON I680!) tell 3:30am waiting for a tow to concord!
Now im being told by the Acura dealer my car is an 03 and wont be coverd under the 100K extended warrenty!!!
Its sitting in my driveway waiting to be towed to Acura of Concord.
What should I do??? I have had the car for only 6 months and its only got 66K on it!
I have a 99 Durango w/mods and 158K on it and for the last 3years it was raced almost every weekend. It still runs fine with the stock drive line..
So let me do the math. My DODGE with almost 3 times the mileage is a better built car than my ACURA/HONDA???? I love dodge but thats bullshit!
I bought this car as a DD and for the HONDA quality! I just hope they do the right thing and honor there name

At first it went going up the hill. I went to downshift into 4th to git some more power and it redline'd the VSA light and engine light came on then I lost all power to the wheels.. I managed to get over to the left breakdown lane let it sit for about 5min then started it and put it in gear. It started to move again pulling me up the rest of the hill. Then on the way down it did the same thing but now its done. I have 1 gear park!

Don't worry about it man...I had 3 trannys blow up.
How many miles you got on it and what year? 7 year 100k extended warranty on the car. If you're over 100k, then they'll probably give you a courtesy and charge something cheap.
