speaking of it... it still has a piece of my heart... lol i only had it for a few weeks, didn't even get my plates yet and someone ran a redlight and pretty much totaled it.. ($13,000 in damage but insurance wanted to repair it ) it even caught on fire under the hood.
after 3 months, it was repaired w/ some free goodies (oem fogs and spoiler) but sometimes wouldn't start. i took it back lots of times but still sometimes wouldn't start. ended up trading it for the rsx...
sorry for the rambling... here's the only thing i have left, old camera phone:
20% tint, eibach prokit, spc rear cambers

the poor thing.. i thought if its over a certain percentage of repair they end up totaling it out.. ive been through a few dings but if i get that much damage and they want to repair it then ill trade my car in.. i dont think i could handle it.. looked like it was clean though

i like the way your car looks with the gun metal wheels. i was thinkin of painting stocks graphite grey. chains roughed up the outer rim of my wheels... i always checked them and looked like it wasn't rubbing but i guess i was wrong just got thoes wheels too!
#1934
powder coat them black.. i always liked the tl-s rims but i think they would look hotter black.
#1936

#1937
oh i know what it is.. its not raining and your car is clean? hahaha

04-06 TLs dont come with DRLs. Those are my OEM fog lights up top, and the lowers are 03 Accord Fogs.
But yes...where my upper fogs are where your DRLs are located. Im not sure if HOEN makes a bulb size that fits your DRL or not. Min may have some info on this, i know his DRLs are yellow.

Today i smoked 08 G35 by smart driving techniques. 100hp extra didnot help him in real driving conditions. I put the car in sport mode all the way and through rapid zig zag moments in various lanes . I looked at the traffic as far as eye can see and plan my moments in various lanes. In Sport mode @5000rpm. car was travelling at 120mph that was maximum that i could achieve in traffic. 22 mpg was fuel economic in 40minute sport mode high speed driving. Car is amazing stable with low wind noise.
look at this moron...

Aargh! I thought it was going to be dry for the next five days! Washed the car yesterday, put my baby, all nice and dry in the garage overnight, and it's misting heavily and the roads are soaked this morning.

^^ i feel your pain
#1955
Rant time.. so since i live in the city i see more bike riders then what i did in beaverton.. and i think riders out here dont give an F! driving into work today not once not twice but 3 times there were bike riders not given and F and riding on the street when there is clearly a bike lane for them.. and one of them was on the st johns bridge when there is a sign that says to ride on the side walk they still ride on the road.. are they mental? stupid? ignorant? sometimes i wish it was the good ole days where the pistol was justice haha

^^^ You could always just hit them....you are bigger after all.
Bicyclists and pedestrians are idiots. Here we are in the middle of traffic without a care in the world. We weigh around 100 - 200 something pounds made a gelatenous heap of soft tissue and a car weighs over a ton moving faster than we are of hard steel. Yet pedestrians and bikers think they can still take that on.
I use to drive up on Skyline all the time, nice back country good for a leisurely stroll, not anymore the stupid bicyclists took it over. Come around a blind corner and there they are in the middle of the road....

^^ those are the worst, backroad bicylists.. specially the ones on germantown and skyline.. it should be banned on certain roads like that.. to many corners i am supprised no one has been killed yet
BTW dont get me wrong against bike riders. more power to them just think there should be some common sense for them.. maybe they should get lisences too??

i love how they wanted to be treated equal like cars. yet, they run every red light or start rolling through before it turns green...
i had this idiot ride along side me downtown one day and when the light turned red, i stopped and he comes along right beside me and starts to peddle slowly in front of me, stalling to keep his balance. he looked like he didn't know where he was going or couldn't decide if he should turn left or go straight... anyhow, the light turns green and his dumbass is still pondering... i honk at his ass and he has the decency to flip me off... he's lucking i was runnin late for work and it was the middle of the afternoon in downtown and there were cameras... fn asshole
the only plus side is when i honked, it made him jump which was kinda funny haha

if i were a bike cop, i'd ride up and down downtown portland following them. and when they run the red light i'd ring my lil bell and pull them over and give them a ticket for running a red like hahaha
