Wait...car too low. I've had the excessive engine noise BS ticket before but that sounds like a pure asshole cop. What law was broken there???

bluecarbonfiber

i forget the legal reason of the car being too low but ya its a BS law.. haha i remember in my civic when i had the springs chopped for a couple weeks i was driving near allan and i forget the other street and a motorcyle cop was in the turn lane.. right at the intersection has some ruts and drove right into it and scraped for a sec and the i remember lookin my review to see if the cop was going to come after me or not and i see him stairing at the spot i scraped at and then lookin ahead to me shaking his head haha..

technically if your exhaust is still in the legal 96db range or whatever it is.. the cop can still pull you over if he/she thinks it sounds annoying and give you a ticket for that too..

heard a loud noise at work this morning.. sounded like a bunch of bikers rolling through.. didnt think much of it at the time.. come lunch time went outside to walk around and lone behold was a nascar sitting across the street just waiting for pictures to be taken of it.. very interesting to see the cars upfront.. took a few pictures of the engine and the cockpit of it.. will post later..

I think the Oregon limit is like 5.5" of ground clearance from the lowest point of the car. I was riding at about 3.25" on clearance. I rubbed on pebbles! looked sick though, but completely impractical.

The Russian

ha. my car is too low...I love it I've never noticed anyone taking pics of my car lol... funny

clee109

I think for a while Kyle had you beat for low. He's long retired though heh

Mr Marco

Interesting, I found this on-line at:
http://www.aamva.org/aamva/DocumentD...0F78CA59E76%7D



Otherwise I can't find anything else except tail-light height req. 15" min from ground.

bluecarbonfiber

Kyles was tucked and bucked that thing was soooooooooooo low

Mr Marco

What about that white '08 tech with Taupe interior on CL ($24,500)? Are you not down with the light interiors?

bluecarbonfiber

nope no light interior.. wife wants black gotta make her happy..

i dont mind the light grey on a black or carbon grey RDX but on a white RDX it should have black there should never be an option it just looks tons better with dark interior.. dont know why dealerships even give people an option for anything other for it..

clee109

You should just look for a different car lol. The right RDX doesn't exist for alot of reasons, one not alot were produced or sold, two people tend to hold on to them and three the low supply means dealers don't like to deal on them as much.

Turn to the darkside dammit! lol

the RLs are VIP cars nothing more.. we want something with alittle more space.. that white one in the first vid isnt bad looking if you get rid of the LEDs and the chrome door protectors

clee109

they do look good VIP though, but not as good as their european counterparts

bluecarbonfiber

^ to add to it i dont have 60K to spend on a car.. if i had that i would be getting something alittle faster =)

Mr Marco

Funny they had so few light interiors on the TL. I like the RL but Carrie said no, so we didn't even look at it.

Everybody, if you had $60k what would you buy?

I would get the CTS-V. It's Carrie approved too.

bluecarbonfiber

if i had 60K i would get a lexus IS-F wish it had AWD though.. if i had 90K i would get a skyline GTR then i would be set.. fuck all the lambo or ferrari richman crap thats 250K or more dont need it.. skyline GTR well tuned is all you need for the daily driver

clee109

Depends what I was buying it for, for performance an M3, for fun Boxter S, for luxury BMW 5, for mods STi, for utility MDX

Mr Marco

And I'd like an armored truck too, but imagine you could only have one.

bluecarbonfiber

^ you can purchase those used

bluecarbonfiber

SOOOOO october 12th or 13th for a meet? washington sq.. thoughts? probably around 7

Mr Marco

Either one would work for me. I have a dentist appointment on that Friday the 14th so a Wed/Thr is great.

I

clee109

you guys are thanks whores lol

I gotta check in with the wife to find out when I'm back from Colorado. It'll be close for me.

As for Marco's question, given what I need today, probably and MDX. If I didn't think I was going to move to a snowy climate I'd choose the M3

bluecarbonfiber

^ hahaha

chris you have to show up colorado, can wait

clee109

strong words, I'll pass on to the wife on your behalf lol

bluecarbonfiber

ya make sure to tell her with a cup and a hockey mask on just in case

Mr Marco

Anyone know the proper way to embed video. Seems like I can't embed from my laptop at home. (Windows XP vs. 7??)

Also there is this really funny Scottish guy called Craig Ferguson who is on CBS at 1:30am. I like vacation. <little over a week left>

clee109

Are you wanting to embed on this or another website? For this I think all you need is the YouTube URL for the video. like http://youtube.com?whatev

For a website it's pretty easy as well, YouTube gives you two codes, the embed code and iframe code, use the iframe since it will work on mobile devices that don't support Flash as well.

clee109

Ok I'm in for either of the October meet dates

bluecarbonfiber

^ glad to hear you grew a pair =) MWAHAHAHA

Mr Marco

It weird because I've tried to embed about a year ago and it would not work. Then I successfully did it at work but now that I'm on vacation a copy and paste of the share link doesn't work. Even if the video allows for embed, I just get a link only.

Example: http://youtu.be/XVIMJ2PL_8Y

I've checked settings here on AZ just in case something got unchecked but I could not find anything specific to embedding a video. Weird.

clee109

hrm, perhaps they have a script error. I'd figure there is some sort of PHP script on that would recognize that URL format...

bluecarbonfiber

got the carbon fiber fabric in the mail last night.. trying to think of what i want to do first.. thinking i might do the XM radio antenna on the roof of the car first.. THOUGHTS???? i plan to black the roof out later on so thought it might be fitting for it... also thinking of doing my chrome hood trim in carbon instead of having the black vinyl on it.. Any other ideas to experiment with??

clee109

perhaps that sub box that's sitting in your shop waiting to be installed? I dunno just throwin it out there :P

clee109

Min can't handle a basic daily driver

bluecarbonfiber

Tyrone503

Don't know how to get to washington square.

bluecarbonfiber

depending on where you are you need to get over to 217 once there they have many signs for it.. i think there are 3 exits listed for it.. could map quest it too =)
