Gonna get two differentials, transfer case, and tranny fluid swapped out on wednesday. Gonna check and see how much work is needed while its on a lift first.

Went up to Tacoma and picked up the winters and just got back. Tires are fairly new but will need lug nuts that fits on oem wheels.

Broke right at the moment. TL door trim turned out to be only one hour dealer labor, but I've been shopping eBay early for Christmas gifts. Got some great stuff.

Payday is Holloween. Hit me up then, I just might go for that.

In a loaner 2013 MDX Tech today. What a loaf of a vehicle. Reasonably nimble for its size though.

Domestics improve alot recently after that financial crisis but still not up there with the imports (excluding germans as well).

domestics up'd their game and so did Euro's, but right a long with it the imports did as well continually raising the bar, it's good for the competition though.

Really loved the newer JGC. But then I saw the YouTube where it blows a front tire 4 out of 5 times on the quick lane change maneuver.

Suspension is a problematic area too. They have issues even on the "brand new" ones and eventually end up with lemon.

Merc, Bmw, and Audi.. They hide reliability issues with great service without any costs as long as its under warranty, which is already included in the jacked up price for the new ones.

Plus owners of German cars are proud of their cars even though repair bill is insanely high. I once overheard this gentleman who was driving a late 90's 7-series loving every single thing about his bimmer and was just coming out of a German car service shop after writing a check for +$4000 to fix few things. During his conversation, he didn't mind that repair cost at all and just bragged bimmers are great cars.

most bmw,merc and audi drivers are douches its probably why they like that anal raping every now and then.. makes them feel alive or something..

sure love me a lexus over any of those.. luckily for cadi's they have stepped up there reliability.. i sure wouldnt turn one down if given to me.. but they have this big bulky look to them still that screams gas guzzler regardless of how much they might be saving in the mpg catagory now-a-days

What's funny is watching them go back again for more! Neighbors have been through 2 Audi's AND the Mini Cooper has been gone for months at a time. Seems like they just can't get the message.
I remember my time with VW. I had a couple money suckers. But the Porsche was my last straw. When the mechanic told me I would essentially pay for the car twice in order to get it up to good working condition, I traded it for the Speed6.

Sorry, welcome back. Try not to catch this head cold, it's terrible. At least you were on one of the dryer islands. I heard it was all clouds in Kauai the week after we left.
Be sure and watch the new South Park episode "Going Native." It's a funny look at island life.

I love the updated 2G MDX as well. Might get a used one two or three years later.

Only car I would love to buy it in black with brown interior.

Hope the rookies do well this season. Can't believe past 2~3 seasons with most of players having knee injury. Must be some kind of curse or issue with team trainers.

Also kind of sucks to see Roy coming back with a different team.

Not to worry.


Nicolas Batum


Played like a rock star! He was diving for balls, hitting multiple 3 pointers, moving the game at pace that made the Jazz look like they were Bill Clinton with a weed bong in his hands. "Whaa-huuu. What position am I playin' Hillary?"

Yea just hoping Batum is little more consistent this season and be little more aggressive. Also no injuries. Watching Blazers game is pretty scary with all that injuries shutting down players.

ya the sam bowie curse plaques the blazers.. it sucks.. still a fan till i die though =) i can only hope this year we are close to playoff just so we have the taste of it in the mouth for next year.. i dont expect lakers to hold together more then 2 years.. and the upcoming teams in the west are probably the timberwolves or clippers depending on how long chris paul stays with them..

Father-in-law only bought 1/2 of the season. I didn't know that was even possible. So seeing any thing after January is probably not gonna happen. I'll end my Blazer year with a fucking Clippers game.

Hope the two first round pickers play as expected in the regular season and survive the sophomore jinx. Kinda looking forward to see JJ Hickson play too. Blazers were missing this athletic forward/center for many years (Oden...)

White 2013 Accord with lip kit. And what's up with Honda not offering black interior with white exterior..
