economic crisis is due to those rich smart ass people that sits in the office and doesn't know whats happening out in the real world.

plus what if even those minimum wage jobs dissapear? another thousands will be left without a job and be sucking out of social security thats already draining out.

 

some new pics for dull pictureless thread
















and...

'08 135i... yay or nay?

 

^ You think about changing cars like toilet paper huh?

 

just checked acura.com and tsx v6 price is up. $34,850 for base v6 and $37,950 with tech package. bit pricey

 

might as well get the TL then.. of course i think the tsx looks better then the new tls.. imo

 

tsx looks far better than the new tl. sometime i think new tsx resembles 3g tl more than the 1g tsx. v6 tsx will be far better performance wise than the new tl.

tsx v6 + sh-awd =

 

Wow, no idea the TSX's came in V6/AWD now.

Sounds like win.

 

winner winner chicken dinner

 

Already done yo! Check out a few pages back for pics, couldn't contain myself

 

BTW it's not "rich idiots" who are the blame for the economic crisis (not meaning to pick on you Min, just like the term), it's high taxes on business. Here's a great example, I want to start my own web development house and get out of the corporation, I would end up giving away over 42% of my income to various state and federal taxes because I am self-employed. This is FICA, SS, Medicare, Medicade, Tri-Met, blah blah (there are hundreds). If I am losing nearly half of my income to the gov, how in the world can I hire someone and stimulate the economy?

Now consider that tax rate drops to just 32%, just a 10% drop I can then put that 10% towards employee's, new products, expansion, etc... Thusly solving our economic crisis. BO on the other hand believes the only way to solve our crisis is to strangle business more than they already do.

Another question, say you work hard for 20 years or more bulding your company or climbing the ladder, you got an education, you worked tireless and endless hours, you were innovative, competitve, etc... Don't you think you deserve a nice house on the hill, or a mercedes S500? It is simply unfair to expect the greatest thinkers and do'ers of America to live like common idiots because it's "the right thing to do" because you MUST reward people for innovation and that reward is in the form of money.

This is why communism fails EVERY time, it breeds lazyness. Why in the hell should I get up at 8am every day, work my ass off and come home at 5 if I'm lucky when my neighbor doesn't work at all and has the same shit as me? Not going to happen... There is a reason why America is and was and always will be a great nation, an innovative nation, and a wealthy nation, freedom and capitalism.

Now that i've said all that I will NEVER mention ANYTHING political again.

 

Nice shots, i need to get another flash so we can do a night strobist shoot.

 

haha.. changed up the avatar again.. you need to have something say KABOOM

 

2 more weeks till the meet.. everyone ready?? gonna get a head start this weekend and polish and wax the car.. so all i have to do is clean the interior since i didnt have time last meet

 

Time for me to be the Corn Flaker...

Ill be moving that weekend....Maybe, just maybe i can swing by for a little bit if i get everything done on the 17th...

Hopefully i will have it all done because im trying to make it to the Car Toys show on the 18th.....

I know i suck

 

Here are the most recent pics i have Min.

Try and bring some lulz...

 

Also, i leave this here to make up for my possible flake.

no reason to flake on a sunday.. =) start moving durring the week... are you moving to oregon Shity? or staying in wilsonville?

 

Gladstone.

Gonna start moving on Friday, and ill have a couple people helping. So i should be done on Friday, leaving myself time to clean my car that night in my new garage

Swing over to the Car Toys show on Saturday, then "forget" something at my place here in Wilsonville so i can come get it and swing by Sonic

 

Good luck on the move, man.

 

Hahaha.. you almost sound as bad as me when i want to go to the race track... need to swing by and get a late night pizza or ice cream

 

surely feel the pain on the taxes. i've been helping out parent's taxes when i was little (organizing and recalculating a year worth of business related receipes..) and well aware of extra taxation especially when your "self-employed." it gets worth if your not married and self employed


always wanted to get some night shoot with the strobes


looks like your having too much fun @ the shows.
my days go so fast these days working for money or working on the 240

 

hows the 240 going? any issues yet?

 

I found something that is more painful than the DMV.

I hate to say it, but ive been unemployed so long that my funds had ran out

Called today to start up what they call EUC that gives you an extra 33 weeks of coverage....but to do so, you have to call them.

Well from 9:30am, to 10:40am i would get a busy signal, or circuits busy recording. Finally at 10:40 i get connected...only to be on hold for 30 minutes. Once i finally get connected to someone i was asked my name, age, and why i was calling....1 minute and 30 seconds later i was done with the call.


31:30 worth of phone call for my name and my age

 

HAha sweet! I'll hit you up then for help on mine when I decide what to do with my car.

I have to go to Acura in Salem next Thursday so they can check out the transmission. Hopefully they end up replacing it or I'll have to pay the diagnostic fee )=

 

great my wife is just gonna love this story... she has very little patience.. if any.. and i know hers is about to run out in another month or 2..

 

Mine wasnt supposed to run out untill august 8th, but that is the time limit. The amount limit runs out before that.

 

anyone see the new skunk 2 intake manifold for the k20/24 engines http://cms.skunk2.com/id/263/K-SERIES-INTAKE-MANIFOLDS/ nice to see someone trying to open the diameter.. bummer you lose the low end grunt though

 

it runs great other than timing chain rattle ( http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=105618 ) and old old bushings. removed the first timing guide but didn't get to remove the second one yet.

replacing bushings will be pain in the ass so gonna change them out by replacing them with new arms and bars. probably i'll end up with whole new suspension.

- dyed rear seat and trunk carpeting in black
- installed ebay strut bars both front and rear
- replaced steering wheel with cheapo ebay replicas
- new swaybar bushings ordered
- new front endlink ordered

 

cough.....CLICK ME...cough

 

^^ way to slide it in =)

 

slowwwwwww around here

 

back from vacation. Always tough to go back to work after 6 days of relaxation

 

x2
But you always seem to be viewing this thread. Wassup with that bro? Just leavin the computer on all day or do u really spend that much time on here?

 

haha.. no i minimize the website at work.. so it shows me on here alot..

 

vacations are like that.. i know when i went to mexico i didnt want to leave

 

I just got back from hawaii, a week and a half off and since monday, I still cant get back on track. Post vacation sucks.

 

yea this tread isnt flying like it used to be. What happened to that one chick with the 3g tl? She was always active. Minkl, I think i saw your car at the pho hung on sunday.

 

^^ she is mad at us i think

 

she even still on the boards?

 

i'll have to wait two months for mine..


i think this is worse coming back from vegas compared to other vacation spots


how's hawaii? i'll be going this september as a vacation/friend's wedding

i think that was other asian dude that rides the same wdp tl-s with aspec kit and door visors. yesterday i saw a cleanly modded silver 2g tl with aspec kit, lowered, aspec wheels, yellow foggies, and blacked out heads parked in front of starbucks/mac store at cedar hills crossing. your avatar and the car i saw yesterday looks very similar.
