Funny how the grass is always greener.

Just saw this girl who looked so familiar...then I realized she was the one from this summer with the super hoty body that would wear the really short skirts and thin t-shirt with no bra. Didn't recognize her with the pants and full length jacket.

Really miss summer. Part of the fun of my job is ogling the young ladies.

Can't trade now. THE NOSY NEIGHBOR HAS A THE GOODS ON ME. You would know all my secrets, especially how I can't hold a job for more than two years and how Carrie and I are always screaming at each other. Oh, and how late at night when she is at work you just see the dim light of a computer screen coming from the office window until the wee hours of the night, but you never hear any sound.

Brandon, don't lie you love your neighbors!

Marco, perhaps he doesn't want the gossip on your neighbors, he just wants to better understand why he see's you walking around at night with your pants down and carrying a wad of toilet paper.

^Now that was truly a laugh-out-loud moment for me at work. If I get too many more of these, they will realize I don't do a damn thing around here.

With a wife who works part time and three kids at home, I doubt he gets much "porn" time. I'll bet it's "shower" time.

Funny ebay story I have to share...So the last bidder on the angle grinder (I just wanted to dump for $75) set up an auto bid. A newbie ebay buyer saw the grinder and started bidding. He must of thought the other guy was bidding live and trying to immediately out bid him. So he kept bidding higher and higher until the grinder was twice what I originally wanted (Keep in mind, I just wanted to clear some space off the work bench).

Yeah, there will probably be a spring meet once the rain shows signs of giving us a break. Oregon meets take lots of advanced planning because we're all flaky

If you are new to the West coast I highly recommend a visit to the Oregon beaches/coast. This time of year is great because you don't have to worry about a bunch of tourists and will be less likely to get stuck behind a motorhome.

Cannon Beach is cute and right off HWY 26 West to slight right to merge onto US-101 South/​Oregon Coast Hwy (About 75 miles from Beaverton). Then you can check out the northern Oregon coastline. Or head throught the Tillamook Forrest. HW 26 West, slight left onto OR-6 W/​NW Wilson River Hwy (signs for Banks/​Tillamook). (Tillamook is not as cute as Cannon Beach and smells like cow manuer)

How many meets were there last year? I know I made it to at least 2 of them.

And all of those suggestions are great for driving. Another good one is the backroads on the south side of Hillsboro (river road, then just take random roads and get lost), or even the drive out from Gaston to McMinnville on HWY 47. If you're looking for some really curvy parts that are challenging and don't have the bike issues of Germantown, take HWY 219 (1st street) out of downtown hillsboro and go all the way to Newberg. It goes up and over the mountain and has a ton of great corners on the way down into Newberg.

When I was a lot younger and a bit more ballsy, I'd go up Bald peak on the hillsboro side and then take bald peak road all the way till it joins up with HWY 219 and go down it into Newberg. Bald peak road has a lot of high speed straights with blind unmarked slow corners that sneak up on you. Scary at first but once you memorize the road, it's incredible.

Hey jay i forgot to ask when you contacted the place about the Torque converter for the RDX did they mention if it will decrease the fuel economy since the torque stall is a higher range?

been thinking about jumpin on this for the tsx with a tranny cooler. as a late summer project

I don't see how the adjusted stall would affect mpg. He said the design makes it much more responsive... so it gets rid of the slush-lag when you push the gas.

hmm.. did he mention what the RPM range is changed to? i would think since the rpm changes that it would affect normal day driving which then could affect gas mileage.. but if its not really noticeable then that sounds like a positive to me.. if i get one ill have to do a dyno before and after just to see if there is a difference or if its just all responsiveness
