fify

that car needs more than front bumper work.

Thinking about taking a day and doing some touch-up and paintless dent removal. Should have done that yesterday, but the wine came via FedEx, aaaaaand it was dark when I woke up later on the couch.

Comptech header? no... Never wanna hear that annoying rattle again. Once is enough. Good quality but that damn rattle. I'll just settle for cheaper DC and if that flex blows, I'll just replace it with stainless flex.

I bought Galaxy tab2 7.0 after selling iPad2. Much easier to carry around with smaller size and weight.

If I were to buy a tablet right now, Nexus 7 will be the top choice. So much smoother and faster than the Galaxy Tab I have right now. Or wait a little longer for the new Galaxy Note 8.0. I think that will blow other tablets in the market after the release.

But one downside is we rarely use it after wife getting a galaxy note 2 and my nexus 4 with close to 5" screen and quad core chip which is much faster than the tab.

I'm sure that Marcos sanity is already in question at work, booger flicking would only solidify such accusations.

Should leave a note on the copier, all work and no play makes Marco a dull boy

Yeah I know you are. Then you find "the car" and then you find "a reason" not to buy it :P thus making you more impossible than just picky LOL

If business goes well this year I'd plan on picking up a low mileage ridgeline sport before xmas. At least that's my goal.

suddently wife wants to buy me a euroR front lip that i was begging for (said i don't want any chiristmas present other than the lip and i refused to buy anything she offered since the holiday season ). and now i'm torn between $850 euroR front lip vs $270 aspec..

Haha, she still says what's the reason for expensive car parts after committing to buying me one. Told her its same as you buying collection of Louis Vuitton bags that will last more than your life.

I've decided to get the aspecs (front & sides) for about $200 less than just the front for the euroR version. And going to paint the foglight bezel. Think it looks much better painted.

You are all brave. I would put that front lip into a curb/wheel bump-stop at my local Albertsons within the first month of instal.

Just have to pick a park somewhere. Jay can't rev at every mustang that rolls through though. For that we'd have to meet somewhere on private property owned by one of us and it seems none of us have a street large enough to accommodate a meet.

There is forest grove and perhaps we could twist the leg of heeltoe.... Lol

I think there are only about 20 spots in their parking lot...if I remember correctly. However there will probably not be any Blue Sube's there like last weekends fart can rally.

that doesnt sound bad at all.. i do think the parking lot is small though.. OOOO how about the McMINI off cornelius pass?? near that fred meyers?? only thing i worry about is the fact of rain.. i know chances of rain are pretty high in april.. but i know it would have enough space for us.. and we wouldnt be bothered..

thoughts??

You park behind grand lodge (PDX side) and there is a ton of parking. More than enough for our small group. More parking than imbrie (Cornelius pass rd). There is also the mcminns rock creek which is off of old Cornelius pass road, but smaller gravel lot

Nice ride. Wife will not allow me to own anything with a motor that doesn't have 4 wheels. Guess that leaves me with ATV as the only option for a summer toy.

Posts here in the regional section do not count towards the "Posts" listed in our AZ-Bio. So I was well over 5000 posts a long time ago.
