You'd think so, but I think it's a guy because I saw him pulling into a specific parking spot on the 3rd floor last week (unless she has short hair and is really ugly). I've had some people pull BS maneuvers in the garage in the past, but they are usually students. This is definitely an employee/staff/faculty. No student in their right mind would show up here at 7AM. He was just too lazy to drive an extra 780 ft and pull in through the fucking entrance like the rest of us!!!

According to Allstate INS Portland ranks as #128 on the Best Drivers report.
The only Oregon city to make it into the top ten was Eugene at #9, fucking hippies!

They are the origin city for the courtesy wave.
You know the Oregon wave, the one that you get at the 4-way stop when the other driver gives them the, "You go" hand gesture. to which driver #2 responds with a, "No, you go." then it's a battle of cars inching forward into the intersection, followed by me blaring my horn because I'm stuck being that Eugene hippy who was trying to be nice but ended up wasting everyone's time, because if they had realized that they had the right of way in the first place I would have already been through the intersection. 2,3,4 breath
But NOOOO, they had to be Mr & Mrs nice & polite....
I can tell when someone is from the east coast here in Oregon because they run the stop altogether. They also jump the light from the turn lane and pull right out in front of you when you are proceeding through the intersection.

I think that is the best way to deal with people who open their car door into your shinny new vehicle. It's perfectly legal in 23 states including Alaska (where they use bear shit).

thanks for the advice bro.. ill look into that ... any advice on a apartment, condo, or town home? trying to stay near school, also safe for the car. I just got a fresh black paint job. Avoiding even one small dent will make a whole lot of difference.

Portland is divided into 5 sections SE, NE, SW, NW, with the big split at the river and Burnside ST, then everything North of Burnside and West of Martin Luther King blvd., but not across the river, is North Portland.
Downtown is very expensive unless you live in a dorm. Close in SE Portland is the most convenient location to PSU, and it was inexpensive until about 5-7 years ago when it started an economic boom. But it is still a great place to live. I would not recommend anything past East 82nd ave. SW & deep NW Portland offer some nice/newer apartments. But if you go to far out it can take a while to get to school. North Portland is another area that is popular with students because it is inexpensive. We live in deep NW and it's a little too family oriented for me (and it's 20min to PSU on a good day).
There are still some inexpensive housing options and you might find a place during the break, Dec. 9-Jan 9th.
G-luck.

It's a big complex, I've never been up past the first section so I'm not sure. Although it can't be that bad given it's location. I have a friend who lives right across the freeway in the units I highlighted in the bright area.
They are inexpensive and nice, but older. It's really easy access from PSU because it's right down the hill on Hwy 26. The trip home is pretty easy too because you take the two lane Canyon Rd exit. I'll text him and see if there is anything coming open.
EDiT: the only issue is if there is an accident like today, it can turn a 10min drive into 30min. They occur often on that part of hwy 26 (Sunset highway).

It's off some weird site I found that's dedicated to all the bad mullet hair cuts. I was looking for a specific one that someone else here on AZ had but I stumbled across this one instead.
Not as good as the one and only Duane "Dog" Chapman though. I love that show and Beth too.

If you're just traveling to and from PSU and you don't want to bother with driving, choosing a location near the Sunset Transit Center may be a good bet. From the transit center you can get on the MAX train which will drop you off downtown on 5th and you can catch the trolley to PSU.
Sunset is a TriMet hub really with busses also traveling all over Beaverton, NW Portland, Hillsboro and downtown. Fare is becoming expensive but not as bad as parking downtown and gas.

2006 ECU has to be retrofitted with a 2008 ECU for 610?? WTF is that bs. Hondata fail. We were the first to get reflash and now we get swindled with an ECU swap...

lol a used ECU works just as well as a new one. I'm sure you can find a used one for a lot less.
Swindled is an inaccurate assessment either way. When I spoke to Doug months back about development on the TSX, he was saddened by the fact that the pre-07 ECU's wouldn't support reflashing through the ODBII port. Doug loves the TSX and it is that love that motivated them to spend the time and effort to develop a solution for the 04-06 at all... hell they made their own custom cable solution for adapting the 07 ECU to the older car to make it pnp.
And FYI, anyone with a reflash gets a $150 rebate on FlashPro.
