I see those pop up on CL often. Get them checked out. You can ask the seller to meet you at Les Schwab and have them spun.

Voice and video telephony ->

Unlike most other tablets, the 3G-equipped Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can do calls. Both voice and video calls are natively supported and you won't even need to download to make use of them. You can use the built-in microphone and loudspeaker for the actual calling, you can attach a wired handsfree or you can go with a Bluetooth headset.

$45+shipping, used. As you know I've been on kind of a eBay kick lately. Unfortunately I have bought more than I sold.

So I'm ready, day or night, as I have lots of extra sunglasses and flashlights.

Sure not a problem. I'm driving the TL now, so we will need to make it some Friday or weekend. Unless you can remind me to bring it to work.

I kind of miss the little beast, especially that "PsssssssstPaaaaaa" from the BOV.

Back seat of the TL also has a hump in the middle so I can't sleep it off back there durring my lunch break anymore.

ETS made the TMIC approximately the same dimensions. So the cover fits fits just like OEM. I have an appointment at 2pm on Friday, otherwise I am free. I'll PM you.

Kia(기아자동차), the jury is still out.
Will it fall apart in the hands of curb jumping American's?
Without a doubt they are producing nicer (ricer) looking cars than Hyundai.

Just can't shake the bad experience I had with the Hyundia on Oahu. We rented an Altima on Kauai. Much better built grocerey getter, same lack of power. For the money, I'd still choose Honda.

Funny wheel trend these days. People used to bash on fake imitation copies until "hellaflush" started. Especially Rota wheels. Now anything with hellaflush status gets thumbs up. Some even flip the steelies to get that low offset flush fitment.

^Three zero's. there's another company making a knock-off of this wheel. :but knock-off's sometimes fall-off. Seems like wheel co's come and go like the rain here in Oregon.

They are expensive 19x9.5 +22 offset, I ended up getting the "hyper black edition" ones. I'm happy with them so far!

What should come first? ASP Headers vs EuroR front lip.

Thinking about getting one more part before year ends. ASP (located in Washington) header takes about a month to build if they have all the components in stock. EuroR lip will take 3 months to get it shipped from Japan.

ASP Header



ASP Header ceramic coated



EuroR Front

What a nightmare drive today. Took me exactly one hour to get here. Luckily I left early. Really need to shift back to the eight o'clock punch. It's better to get up early than to deal with this stress.

Both aren't that cheap.

ASP header is $1299 + $150 for ceramic coating.
EuroR front lip is about $850 shipped from Japan.
