^My mom told me that one.
Looks like we wil not get any rain this weekend after all. I need to work on the back of the car as I spotted more left-over grime from the debadge. My lawn will love the dry cool weather as well.
What are you all doing this weekend?

Found out last night that my trunk release switch doesn't work. It still works with the FOB but not when i press the button inside the car. Gotta do some research on that. Hopefully not too much $. Sometimes i wish that not everything is push button these days. Dunno why they have the gas door with the normal lever but wanted to make a switch and mount it under the dash for the trunk release. "The more bells and whistles, the more can go wrong" which means more $$$

navi is listed in the OP of the deck ive been told you can hook up the AVIC-88 but pioneer discontinued it for some reason so finding it is few and far between also the touch screen function supposedly doesnt work with it and you need to use a remote?? i honestly dont really know too much beyond that cause when i did find the extention unit it was 400+ dollars and after paying 850.00 new for it i really didnt wanna shell out more just for it so i got the garmin instead haha
ill let the deck go for 350.. still in perfect condition!! have the box and wiring also all the manuals

I'm gonna try to install my torque damper tomorrow/today.... or Sunday. Whenever I feel like it. I got screwed pretty hard on some broken motor mounts last month, hopefully this will extend the life of these notoriously crappy CL mounts

Yes, this finicky person “ggesq” (not sure of this particular individual’s sex, unless the screen means g.g."esquire" which Wiki defines as: An unofficial title of respect, having no precise significance), seems to have singled me out. I have broken a rule of some sort (speaking my mind) and I’m still not sure what it was. It’s akin to having your professor accuse you of cheating/plagiary without providing proof. Oh yes…GGESQ I almost forgot, if you are reading this…thanks.

You can tell replaced parts by looking for the manufactuerer stickers on the panels. From the factory each panel and bumper has a sticker with the vin number on it. Bodyshops don't replace the tags when they repair the panels. Most jacks at a dealership don't know either so they don try to cover it up

edit: Just re-read the last part…Yep plastic bumper is a different color, I’m not sure why, just assumed the paint was different due to surface requirements. Having a second chance I would have picked silver as it is easier to maintain.

Hmm... have you tried asking the 1st gen CL forum? I know there are a lot of people on the 2nd gen forum who know where to get OEM parts for fairly cheap.
All I can suggest is probably ebay or the BM

Finally upgraded my camera after using Sony A100 for about 3 years 
This damn camera is very hard to buy with short supply and even mine was a demo one from Fry's. They sold me a demo with a agreement to replace it with a new one when it gets available in two weeks. And only one will be coming in..
Old: Sony DSLR A100
New: Sony DSLT A55

its a sad sad world.. you think they would want to try and get as much as possible back on trade in
ya im gonna have to start looking at that too.. im not expecting perfect but for something 2 years old it should be scratched up or many rock chips
so the mismatch in colors is normal on the RDX?? wow.. didnt see that one coming.. i would expect it from a paint shop.. i will have to pay more attention now.
the silver one we saw was purchased for 6 months then traded in and was used as a lease for a year so im sure thats probably a big facture on the issues i saw with it

I must admit that we are part of that group of individuals who beat the shit out of their RDX. However, while switching out the summer floor mats and cleaning up the car today, I noticed a huge number a scratches that were completely unknown and not from abuse, along with a scratch to the leather in the back seat that I had never seen before. I have also noticed that interior plastic parts such as the Glove Box scratch with little effort (not to mention the silver interior trim). Thank god we never put a car seat in the back, as from what I’ve seen on-line the seats never recover from that pressure line.
There are a HUGE number of people who lease these as well.

Now that I think about it, I wrecked two of them (sold one, traded another).

Nice min!
With the economy the way it is I think you'll see alot of cars owned for a short time and traded back in because the owner may have lost their job or simply couldn't afford it afterall

Unless you buy in the Couv, Huge Pain in the Ass. The dealer we dealt with had no idea what to do. We brought our paychecks so verifying residence and employment was easy (to avoid the tax), but in the end I had to email him a link to the Oregon DMV web page with address and instructions on how to get the CA car titled in Oregon. Your experience may very.
