i only fall for boys who support my habbits

the one now who's only a friend always gets me car gifts for presents but i get him car stuff too - i got him coilovers for his bday on the teg - id say thats a pretty good fiend ay

lol oh trust me, I ran! Because he started to slowly back up, and when he got close I got his plates. He for some reason, he just stepped on it and rammed my car. I was running like the cops were on me. Right when I got outside and looked at my bumper, he took off like its no big deal. Only reason why he came back 2 days later because cops came to his house for a hit n run. So in the end, i got money, he got a ticket, insurance went up, and I didnt drop the hit n run.

Whoa, awesome friend you are. I can put anything on my list, but not car stuff. bummer

Anyways if you want to be an author let me know, the more the merrier, people just need to stay on topic at all costs, so no chit chat, no stupid posts, etc..

Take a look let me know what you think about the layout etc... Thanks for listening to my shameless advertising!
Nice!

I like the layout so far, I'm still exploring it...

You're supposed to put the Acura in the garage! I remember some comedian (I think it was Jeff Foxworthy) saying, "It's funny how people put cars worth thousands of dollars in the street, because they fill their garages with useless junk".

Oh, we're not small. There are 30,000 people in my company worldwide, with ~ 500 in the office building I work at. Good company to work for - I've been with them for 22 years!

Have you been going to SC for a while? I think I remember you in there once while I was waiting, probably when they installed my headers. It took 2-3 hours for them to install them.

There aren't all that many girls that show up there. You must be the exception.

You're right - Tony likes "free". IIRC, they run their margins pretty low.

lol good jeans on a chick is always hot! I have too many hobbies to just throw into my car. There was a localy guy selling comptech headers that I was going to pick up but now my money is going towards the rims.

JDMlove has a very clean layout. I wish I knew more about it to help you out, good job man!

That's too bad - you probably already know that headers on a 2nd Gen make a big difference in the upper RPMs ~ 20 or so whp increase. Very nice.

It's been so long since I've been at SC I don't even remember who JJ is. I dealt mostly with Dan and Tony. Dan was very cool to me.

I hate places like that. That's why I usually take my wife's car in for service - used to be that dealers would upsell her service, etc.

Last time I was there was probably a year and half ago (I think). There were two white guys there, one that helped receive and unpackage shipments, and the installer dude. I'm pretty sure the installer guy's name wasn't JJ.

Congrats to Min on 3000 posts. Race Dezign is garbage! I think Fred is the owner or something like that. I use to go there way back when I owned my accord years ago, their installers were worthless! Plus there always some sort of scandalous ladies around there. It was to fast and furious for me....

race shops are only cool if you go there often, if not, the service sucks. Dan is cool from SC. Never was a fan of Race desizn. Unnatural boys seems cool. I just buy my stuff online, I can wait.

Wish i had more knowledge about JDM esq shhhtuf.

Dan's a funny guy. Hates the fact that i ran faster than his Civic....so he cheated and bought a turbo
