Mr Marco

Hey Brando,
Have you seen this one?

http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/ctd/2467947270.html

I've been too busy to troll Craigslist lately so I don't know how long RTA has had it.

bluecarbonfiber

^ ya... its black.. no navi.. no go..

i did noticed royal moore lowered the price of there scratched to hell RDX i saw.. haha by a grand.. FAWKERs you gotta be crazy to buy a 2010 that is scratched to hell.. i would say repair costs would be about 1500-2k and they dropped it a grand? give me a break.. that vehicle will be on there lot forever

lately we have focused on looking for a canopy for our POS truck.. we want to go camping and i dont have the room for the dogs unless i get a canopy.. so vehicle search is on hold.. i think in october when 2012 models are starting to come out we might start up our looking again..

Mr Marco

No tech? The price is too high then. We haven't been camping for a couple years. I remember the good old days when you could find a good camp site close into the city. Seems like now you need to drive 8 miles up a gravel road and still fight for a non-reserved site serviced by independent contractors who may or may not show up to collect the trash and clean the toilet.

^ i go to a place exactly 28 miles away.. ive only had 1 person in the past 6 years going to it that had stumbled on it while ive been there.. i know people camp at it though cause ive seen other peoples crap left behind. lately its been getting over grown.. but still a nice hideaway spot.. (if you really like to ruff it)

been thinking i need a new spot though cause the closest river is nahalem and lost lake is about a mile away..

Mr Marco

Sounds like you have to drag your gear for a bit. I like having the car close by so I can hear the glass break (although the only time that happened it was parked in front my parents house in Eugene near UofO). We talked about going on a trip this year but I'm so burned out from the 4 ten hour days at work each week that all I want to do on the weekend is surf the couch.


EDiT: THANK GOD IT"S FRIDAY & PAYDAY!

bluecarbonfiber

^ i usually hit the lake before i camp or after for the fishing.. after that its all about the shooting =) gotta love bustin caps in cans.. specially full ones =)

bluecarbonfiber

If you're up for next weekend I can help you out! let me know man!

Rapture

Man fuck RTA. Took my car in for an airbag recall notice, also told them that I feel like there's a bit of jerking around when the car is decelerating. They set me up to go on a drive-around with a tech, he said afterwards he didn't feel anything, I told both the tech and the service rep "If you don't think there's anything wrong with my car, then don't worry about it." So they did the airbag recall. I find out later that one of their other techs decided to take my car out for a 2nd spin, by himself, without giving me any notice (let alone getting my approval) I'm sorry, I'm a bit anal about other people driving my car, so I got a little pissed. Not to mention it's a dealership, so chances are they could have tried to mess up my trans (03 CL 5AT...) so that they could have created more work for themselves, so to speak.

I got a big blue sticker on my invoice saying "If you didn't receive a '10' call our Service Manager" So I did, told him I just plain wasn't happy that they did that. Wasting my time and wasting my gas. The guy started talking down to me like I was a tool for getting upset. When I said "I'd rather not have anyone waste my time and my gas, doing something that I specifically told them NOT to do" and he replies with a "Well I'm sorry we wasted about.... 5 minutes of your time"

Yeah sorry but no, you wasted 30 minutes of my time. I'm never going to RTA again. What was initially just a small issue was blown sky high when the service manager started being a smartass. Why would you even have a policy of "If you're not 100% satisfied with your experience, I want to hear about it!" if you're just gonna try to shut them down, make them feel like idiots and downplay your guys' incompetence when someone DOES call?

Yeah I know I sound like I'm super uptight. I'm not TOO pissed off that they drove my car, just the idea that they want to hear from customers who aren't completely satisfied with their experience, but try to shut someone down when they have a complaint.

bluecarbonfiber

im dont need it now i was just joshin ya. =) i might take you up on the offer next month though =)


man that sucks.. if i say dont drive it and i find out then i would be upset too..

mdkxtreme

I'm back!!!

unfortunately my friends weren't able to make it with me because of work issue. But I'll be here for about a month. I said it before and I'll say it again. Portland it's so lowered friendly.

bluecarbonfiber

haha... you can go up a driveway and now worry about scraping..

everyone have a good happy 4th!!

Mr Marco

PSU- IT

Tha's funny because Carrie just told me that they finally fixed the one driveway at work that she would scrape the TL's front spoiler on as she entered work.

bluecarbonfiber

slow times... anyone decide if we are going to do a summer meet?

mdkxtreme

If you guys do set up a meet, I'll be there.

BTW, is there a good park for me to run at in Portland?

bluecarbonfiber

there is washington park which is near germantown RD or you can get access off of cornell rd. im sure there is other small spots but those are the more traveled ones.. not sure what side of portland youre on and how far you want to go

Mr Marco

Hmm let me think 5 miles from my house. Sounds good to me.

Had a rude wake up call this morning at 1:20am when someones pager went off. Funny thing was she was already at work. Thought the smoke alarm was going off...had small heart attack.

bluecarbonfiber

^ better then neighbor hood kids still setting off fireworks at that time.. atleast with a pager you can turn it off

mdkxtreme

Hey, have Portland been seeing a rise in crime? Because I am hearing a lot of stories of robbery and such.....

Didn't hear these stuff last year I was here.

bluecarbonfiber

more drive by's it seems lately havent heard much about increase in robbery
https://www.crimereports.com/ shows recent crimes in portland, within 30 days i think.. but portland is nothing like detroit or chicago.. but ya more gang activity recently i think.. but who knows i would need to really see statistics since the news likes to show the worse things

bluecarbonfiber

Chris- was it RAMMAT that you said i should get for sound deadening on the rear deck?

bluecarbonfiber

so here it is.. July 29 (friday night) or july 30th (saturday afternoon).. for a meet possibly over at the wilsonville sonic again?? or maybe the Hellsboro one? TIC TOC on decision time

Mr Marco

Hmm, 22 miles to Wilsonville or 4 miles to Illsboro? Marco votes we go to 7380 Northeast Butler Street, Hillsboro.

**BTW, want to get my parents GPS/Back-up camera for their 2008 Honda Civic. Have no idea what to do with this dash:



Anyone got an idea?

ABP1TSX

^ aftermarket dash kit from scoche or oem dash from a civic with navi. Get indash navi from Pioneer/Alpine/etc. whatever brand that floats your boat and add their backup cam. Install all of it with wiring kit/ampbypass for the civic and Presto you have backup cam/GPs.

ABP1TSX

What about sundays? or is that off limits for some?

MattB07TL

Try Acura of Portland I've dealt with them on a couple occasions and haven't had any issues

MattB07TL

Just got em in..Think I might be the only one in Oregon running em

bluecarbonfiber

i dont mind sundays except i would like it early and i dont know if people in here go to church.. (im not a church person i have different hobbies)

looks good! havent seen a vehicle with them yet so you might be right

mdkxtreme

Ok, I think it's about time I can say it now.

I asked because 5 days ago, my Mugen Visors got jacked at 24 hr fitness on Washington Street. They stole my two front visors and my alarm went off. I guess they took off after my alarm went off because I still have my two rears. This was not an issue last year where I would take my TSX to the same 24 hr fitness and nothing ever arise. I've been taking my brother's car now instead of mine.

I guess it's just bad luck because I've had these visors for over a year now and two days into Portland they got jacked.
