I know, it will be another Celica. Should I buy the car that screams mid life crisis, or just live with the RDX? Can't get the G37 coupe cause a guy down the street has one.

I should wait for the STi version.

Meh, who am I kidding... I'm broke, my credit is marginal at best and the lady of the house has an attachment to the RDX.

I should just give in and ask my doctor for the Viagra now. I'm a couple of years away from a triple-bi-pass and a divorce. Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt doesn't work. The gleam in my eyes is from the sun hitting my bifocals. I feel like the morning after and I didn't go out drinking last night. I finally reached the top of the ladder but the son of a bitch was leaning against the wrong wall. I look forward to a dull evening. I turn out the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons. My back goes out more than I do. I have all the answers, but nobody asks me the questions. I'm proud of my lawn mower("Hey you kids, get out of my yard!"). My best friend is dating someone half his age...and isn't breaking any laws.

AND this is the face I make when someone rings the doorbell:

you'll barely notice a half inch, if you want to go lower it must be .75 - 1 inch down from where it is now.

Talk about rolling some fenders out...




Nice ride. That color looks way different than the on-line sample!

What oh, I thought this was the Official Post Pics of your pets thread. too many windows open again!

It's been so long I can't remember what the palce was called. I think it was on Canyon on the North side between Herzog Meier and 217. That was an Accord ago.

It was 112 on my property today...

Fortunately the S2000 has a damn good air conditioner.
