Hey I cleaned it a week ago

bluecarbonfiber

more reason for a spring cleaning in another 2 months haha

'02_TL-S

Anyone know who drives a WDP UA7 with 3000k fogs, white front sidemarkers and what looked like an ASpec badge? Pretty sweet lookin ride spotted tonight on 26 at about 8:30 heading east right after Cornelius Pass

bluecarbonfiber

not a clue

bluecarbonfiber

thinking of new shoes for the acura.. thinking either the RPF1 enkei or the new Enkei Kojin.. unfortunetly i cant find the weight on the new Kojins.. any thoughts?? gonna do black in either one.. http://www.enkei.com/kojin.shtml

Mr Marco

For a second there I read this as you tore up the yard? I see you had a little help

#ghostpoop

Mr Marco

/\ not sure what page I found that from, obviously not your last post.Whatever they are make sure they are Lightweight and not Painted. Enkie's are my personal favorite.

clee109

Rpf1s with a decent offset would look mean. Oh and no larger than 18s this time lol. A lot of your rough ride is not only the super stiff ksports, but also your rubber band tires haha.

If I were you and was going to buy new wheels and tires, I'd instead buy a new suspension set up. Perhaps fixed height...lol Koni's and s-techs if you want to be low, or Koni's and h-techs if you want to be at my height. Better investment IMO

bluecarbonfiber

ya i was thinking about that next.. my wheels are 25lbs want something lighter and smaller in diameter to help with the ratio a bit..

was thinking a 225 40 18 i would love a 235 just to protect the sidewall a bit more but people say its over kill so ill start with the 225 first

Mr Marco

Right about the time I picked out my perfect set, Enkei 18's (20lbs), I got my tire bills. Cancel that order quick. Now, we are swapping cars again.
The only thing on my car to do list now is a detail.

Otherwise, I think I've finally reached the point where I have everything I really want.
Sure there's always room for a 50" 3D LED TV + PS4 next year...but as I sit here watching COPS on my 42" Panasonic HDTV thinking back to just a couple years ago when I was driving a POS Accord and watching a TV that had more depth than width, I feel like a white trash boy who just won the lottery.

bluecarbonfiber

if you want a nice tv wait till the OLED ones come out.. the black level is suppose to be out of this world.. put my kuro to shame.. suppose to have the new 4k pixel tvs coming as well.. I think ill hold off on the ps4.. love my ps3 too much plus rumors out that the ps4 isnt backwards compatible..

Mr Marco

Interesting, might sell some games now before the market is flooded.

clee109

When PS3 debuted Somy lost money on each unit sold. The strategy was to recoup the money from game sales. However, there weren't nearly the number of game sales they forecasted. That being said I am not surprised PS4 would not be backwards compatible. Now they can almost guarantee their game sales forecast heh. Gotta keep those investors happy!

bluecarbonfiber

ya.. ill wait a year or 2 before i make the move to ps4

Mr Marco

I'm certainly not paying $700+.
I remember feeling like an idiot after paying $300 for my Samsung Bluray only to see it for $250 a month later. I wonder how those guys who spent $1,000 on the first BD-P1000 to hit the market in 2006 felt when their neighbors brought one home for $699 a couple months later.

bluecarbonfiber

haha.. new bluray coming out soon too.. has to beable to play those 4k movies for the 4k ultra HD tvs.. as if HD isnt good enough haha

Mr Marco

Sometime in the future we will look back at this time period and laugh. I'll bet our grandkids ask the question, "What's a mouse?"

Mr Marco

I don't buy into this "processor double law." At some point the technology has to peak. You can make a chip only so small and so fast. Look at the internal combustion engine. It has pretty much reached the limit of its capabilities (and it is truly amazing). I believe we must look for systems that take advantage of what we already have on hand. It is possible that one day commuting to work will be automated like "Total Recall."
Unfortunately, bad things come with technology too...I won't be able to sip my cocktail on the commute with that damned built in alcohol detection device they are trying to put in every car.

bluecarbonfiber

maybe we will end up like that movie surrogates.. we will have robots that look like us do our jobs..


Did some ammo searching over the weekend.. found a few good things.. i think i am covered.. found a couple boxes of 45 long colts too.. ill have to try those out soon..

Mr Marco

Started to think I might need to stock up on more ammo. I'm just not sure I want all that stuff sitting around for the next 40 years.
I was watching a story on the Destination channel about a cult in the 1980-90's that built a huge doomsday bunker and stocked up on ammo and supplies for the coming apocalypse/nuclear war with Russia(Church Universal and Triumphant). Their leader had these people so afraid of the end they spend the better part of their lives digging a hole in the side of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Who would want to be alive after a nuclear winter? Even if you did have 7 years worth of food, the water would eventually kill you.
I think I might only need two bullets.

bluecarbonfiber

need to get a water purifier.. or boil it.. people dont always think of it.. also they dont realize the plastic its in is toxic after a certain time.. ever look at a plastic water bottle and see those symbols on it? that tells ya how long it will last before it becomes toxic

bullets are fine as long as they are stored correctly

Mr Marco

I actually had a plastic 3 gal jug in my emergency kit in the garage. When I went to open it the SOB had split and water was sitting in the bottom of my kit. I have since swithched to glass.

Mr Marco

Must have Cheeseburger!

bluecarbonfiber

had 5guys on saturday.. wasnt as good as i wanted it but it hit the spot.. decent bday dinner too =)

Mr Marco

Happy Birthday! Always wanted to try The Five.
I remembered that I had all the fixin's for a Reuben sandwich at home (even rye bread too).
Already done eating and now I'm enjoying bad daytime TV!

bluecarbonfiber

perry mason is the best!

Mr Marco

Rod says it's going to be 60deg this weekend!!! Must mow/edge the lawn.

But the best part of the news is it looks like we will not see another GD snowstorm this winter and I don't have to get their snow tires down from the perch 8 feet off the ground.

clee109

another GD snowstorm? When was the first? This Portland winter blew balls. We had more frost accumulation than snow... Was most pathetic.

BTW chick in your avatar is super hot, love those teeth. If only all women had teeth like that

bluecarbonfiber

imagine the felatio she could give.. haha

agreed winter was weak.. if anything should of rained more.. last winter was pretty dry.. i have a feeling this summer is actually going to get into the 100s a few times... suppose i better check the AC unit in the car this year too.. creaping on 100K miles might even have to check the valve height..

when is our car due for a new timing chain? is it 150K??

Mr Marco

2008-2009. I remember laughing at my next door nieghbor as she slid sideways on the last hill before our homes in front of the RDX (with the studded snows)
I had no problem driving right by her and her fucking Camry without offering aid because I hate people who go out in a GD snowstorm with a 2WD auto that has a bald set of Firestone Tires on it.

I think that chick might be a dude.

Mr Marco

I thought it was 100k????

bluecarbonfiber

ive read that at 100k is when wear starts to show but the chain can last easily 200K miles just needs to be checked to make sure it hasnt stretched

Mr Marco

Portland

clee109

The stealership will insist on it as part of your 100k maintenance. However the chain can easily go 150k - 200k. Thus why they went to chains vs belts

I need to get rid of the TSX before that lol.

bluecarbonfiber

when you trading in the TSX?? you going to locate for a new house before you do that??

Mr Marco

Been considering the options for moving out to Helvetia. It looks like we would need to keep this one as a rental for a couple more years. Even then, money would be tight...realy tight.

If we sold now we would be competing with comparible homes that go for $237,500. About $35K less than we would need.

When you do the math, either way we loose. I don't know which is better, loose $36,000 up front, or in rent over 6 years ($1,700pmt-$1,200rental income=$500 in the hole every month).

bluecarbonfiber

house market blows no matter how you slice it

clee109

We are going to stay here for a while, we have decided we will build our own house on some land out west. That will take time, also I'm heading back to self employment. I only got a "normal" job to get a home loan, got screwed on that, so back to what makes me happy

The TSX will go before we move I'm sure. I am thinking of flipping some houses too, so the TSX isn't cut out for that. Thinking about a ridgeline a lil down the road.

bluecarbonfiber

my neighbor might be selling there house (where the girls lived) gonna be asking around 230 for it.. it would be a great rental he had no problem stacking people in it.. we been thinking of getting it and flipping it.. needs a bathroom downstairs and the rooms redone plus a few updating things.. but once its done correctly i would think it could fetch 280k to 300k

Mr Marco

Let's talk. Maybe we could make a subdivision together! Oh, your wife would love me!
