Speaking of shit happening to Acuras, when I pulled the TSX out this morning to go get groceries, I noticed the front passenger fender covered in black tar. WTF? Seriously, how does that happen. It must have happened last week because I drove a rental to MI. Luckily it all came off with Turtle polishing compound, but damn I was pissed...

yes, i sure did!
ive had them on since friday and i ♥ them so far. For the price they are awesome!

and yes about my car -
i was pulling out of a parking garage very carefully because theres the cement curb things on both sides of you. Welllllllll apparently i wasnt being as careful as i thought i was
yep, my fault, i was pissed, its not that bad tho. I can fix my rim so idc about that but my sideskirt is scraped and its NOT buff-able

oh well tho, shit happens, im over it, i need the whole front of my car repainted anyway so ill just add the sideskirt to the list

yep, that parking garage was NUTS, each time you went down a level you had to go around a corner with cement curbs on both sides. I was like FML, a mini cooper couldnt fit thru here!!
I made it down all 5 levels fine and dont ya know i fucked up my car just as i was pulling out.

There's a parking garage in downtown Ann Arbor, MI that's exactly like that. I was glad I was in the rental because the TSX would scrape every single ramp and I would probably cry

I getting to the point where I'm completely OVER caring about the appearance of my car. I've had nothing but bad luck with it. Granted, this last thing was my fault, but I think I've been hit four times since I've owned it.

I'd like to get something with 4wd, that has space in the back for my dog, high ground clearance, and big bumpers.......

EG: Z71 Tahoe......



I looked at one the other day and it was really nice.

First step is going to be finding someone with a set of stockies with good tires, that will trade me for the TSW's....

I keep having similar thoughts Justin, I'd love something I could just drive stress-free... but I know I'd miss my TSX a ton if I got rid of it.

I know I'd miss the TL too.....but lately I've been constantly thinking to myself how impractical the car is for me. This city beats the shit out of it.

so one side of my rear suspension is lower than the other. either it was installed wrong or the perch hopped down a level on one side....

justin, you got any time this week to look at it with me? if i change the perch setting with the strut on the car I dont need an alignment, do I?

100k TL's FTW
yea with mods come problems, i know all about that. BUT i knew this before i started to mod my car so i really cant complain now.

idk im so torn about what i wanna do with my car. I was sure i wanted to sell it next summer and get a G35 coupe but when i was without my TL for a week i missed it so much that it changed my mind.
My TL is also basically paid for, it would suck to hop into a $300 car payment + higher insurance.


and FYI firestone has free lifetime alignments. Basically you pay for the first and each one after that is free. I think its over $100 tho so you are basically gonna be paying for two.
I know one of the guys that works at the firestone near me so im gonna give them a try. If i didnt know someone there idk if id trust them with my car tho
