^ yup another crap shoot of a drive ahead.. they will probably put a news crew and mt hood and say portland people need to drive slow cause of the snow they are getting

clee109

yesterday and Sunday, Preston was a 100+ degrees all day, today I am... dammit....

Mr Marco

Already have plenty of flakes around here, including myself.
Miserable drive. I have got to find a way to work from home. I can't take much more of this. At $300 a month after expenses, I'm not making much money from eBay so that is not the answer.
May be looking closer to home for a new job. Something NOT union.

bluecarbonfiber

IT work is UNION??


that sucks chris specially after starting a new job

Mr Marco

Yep, you must join the Union if you are staff at PSU.

maybe pull the trigger on this one? silver is another boring color but somehow it looks pretty good on tsx. lines look more chiseled and create sharper looking image.

and once it gets euroR front installed...



also never thought this light blue looked unique once its slightly modded





btw.. used car market is totally dry. i searched for '05~'07 accord sedans as well but none at reasonalbe price.

bluecarbonfiber

i wanted silver to begin with.. wife wanted something else we settled on the grey but the silver always looks good to me..

that blue color is something else.. i really dig it..

the CL listing one lookds good might be worthy of checking out.. did you care if was an Auto??

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

it needs to be an auto. my portion of payment will be the sale of accent and my wife will be writing a check for the rest and she insisted it must be an auto so she can drive it time to time. unless tsx is no go for me. or gotta say getting out of accent is no go for me

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha sounds like a dilema.. well you can do what i plan to do and get a better torque converter to help with drivetrain loss

Mr Marco

I know that dilemma personally, it's part of the reason I don't have an S2000.

Speaking of wifes, I drove the TL to work today. I miss having my butt on the ground. I filled it up after Carrie left town and the mpg was 21. When I got to work today I got 15mpg!!! holy leadfoot Batman. I know my driving style is heavy on the Italian side, but that is ridiculous.

bluecarbonfiber

too much VTECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

iTrader: (2)

sucks that somehow she don't like silver one too. but i think the one on cl is pretty good deal considering its local. plus silver color is very easy to maintain. run it through kaddy car wash once a month or so.

cant wait to have tsx again. it'll be a mod heaven with parts that my wife won't recognize. lol

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha ya lots changed since you had your last TSX.. lots to do now.. just comes to how fat your wallet is on getting stuff

clee109

Go for it Min, we'd like to have you back at the meets rep'ing acura again!

Im drooling over sexy parts already.


I'd be reppin infiniti if it wasnt the gas price Haha..

Think i'm gonna convince her to buy that silver one if the car doesnt get sold anytime soon. Would've been more perfect if it had a navi but cant complain.

Mr Marco

horrible rainstormy drive. Glad I left the house early today.

bluecarbonfiber

fuck your honda civic!! haha love it

bluecarbonfiber

ya it sucked.. but glad the rain showed up.. we needed it

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

pouring rain and slow drainage = hydroplaning commute day



what would u choose?

both are silver/black combo

#1. 2007 with navigation, 81k miles and price is $15,268 shipped to home

http://www.transtekautosales.com/new...Acura-TSX.aspx

#2. 2006 no navigation, 64k miles and probably I can lowered it down to $14,500

http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/2901183406.html

https://picasaweb.google.com/1101486...1/2006AcuraTSX

Mr Marco

I can't live my life today without being tracked by satellites. How I got from point A to point B without NAV in a car I have no idea. So I would pick #1.

bluecarbonfiber

which one will have less dents and scratches??

what you gonna do once the solar flares take out our satalites?

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

Probably about the same?? Since #1 is cleaned up by dealer but listed in the auction for quick sale. so dealer might have taken care of minor scratches (but its a new york car). And its 1 owner car.

#2 is local private sale and probably it isn't detailed like dealership for resale. Plus this one has 3 owners already. I'll be the 4th if I buy it.

Mr Marco

I'll remove the Tin Foil under my baseball cap.

NY vs Oregon? could go either way. You can test drive #2 though.

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

I think #1 might be a better choice. All the history of services are recorded in carfax

bluecarbonfiber

^ sounds like you made a decision =)

Mr Marco

Carrie comes home today. Need to go home and clean-up the house. Porn & Popeye's chicken boxes everywhere.

bluecarbonfiber

looks like the blazers plan to tank the rest of the season

Mr Marco

Fuck 'um. Watching March Madness makes me realize how crooked the NBA is. They'll never let the Blazers have another championship. Not enough income for the cronies who control the league. After the Celtics-Lakers finals in 2008 I stopped hoping for a miracle. The NBA is totally corrupted.

bluecarbonfiber

^ you can thank las vegas betters for that

Special note to our beloved nighttime pedestrians:

Wear something other than fucking black, blue or any other dark ass color

Just cause you have the fucking walk signal doesn't mean you can forget the look both ways rule of thumb

If you're dumb enough to violate all of that, don't flip off the fucking driver, you're a fucking tool.

/rant.

bluecarbonfiber

happens all the time to me.. they always make us look like we are the assholes

mucter

Never buy a used car with that many miles from a state that salts their roads. NY is rough, tons of snow, lots of salt. Washington is the same way... That car is highly likely to have rust up it's butthole. If the 2nd car is local and has never been owned outside of Oregon, I'd take that one.

clee109

despite traffic, it was a beautiful drive over the hills this morning, trees looked flocked, bit of snow falling, was quite nice really.

bluecarbonfiber

^ i still ran in to the slow idiots..

dog started her heat we will be trying for puppies again.. so if interested in purchasing one you can start saving now.. should be ready for homes in july depending on when she actually has them

Mr Marco

Ruf woof. Paid $4.25/gal for gas yesterday. That's $80 to fill that little tank. Gonna need to find more stuff to sell to make up for that pinch in my wallet.

On the subject of idiots on foot:
Funny how people want this driver to look out for them, but take no personal responcibilty for stepping out in front of my 2ton missle. These people are not developementally disabled, they just think I'm sober and give a shit about them.
I don't even walk behind occupied cars in the Safeway parking lot.

clee109

Where's all that change Obama promised? We pay on avereage nearly 3 dollars more a gallon now than we did when his dumb ass was elected. Some change...

Funny too that we were supposed to be out of the middle east yet I have a friend who is getting ready to redeploy into Afghanistan.... WTF? Elect some better change this November people

'02_TL-S

That and the dumbass bicyclists that think the road is theirs too..fuck sharing the road especially when it's skyline. I hate blazing around some of those corners and having to slam on my brakes cuz they are in pairs taking up the whole damn road. Got rear-ended last year for that reason. There's also this one dumb lady I see every morning that is always walking into oncoming traffic..one of these days Ima see her on the news

Mr Marco

Yep. We stopped on West Union Rd last year to tell some bikers that the spot were they had stopped to fix a flat in the worst possible place, only to have the dude say "fuck you." A month later a guy died not more than 150 feet from where we stopped while riding his bike at night (without a light).
I hope they realized a connection when they heard it on the news, but my guess is they were unfamiliar with the area in the first place.
