Meg-hen. Nice to meet you.
How'd you stumble on THIS thread for your first set of posts? We're actually a very fun and warm bunch, there's just this initial salad tossing process we have. Mainly to vet who's got a thick skin and who will stick around for more than a week.
Enjoy!

The one in the right is closer to what mine looks like. I like your stickers and that color scheme. Looks like a pimped out jack... (Also my nickname back in collage)
The left racing jack is the same one my friend has that failed on him too.
Glad you're a glass half full guy

Well if you've been lurking for a year you may already know. But if not:
No one here actually knows anything, they just sit around slapping each other's junk.
Rockeyboy is the defacto source for information on life skills.
And if in doubt, try buffing it out. If that doesn't work, use plastidip. And if that doesn't work, it's time to part it out.

The 3G TL Facebook page is a much better source of reliable repair information

He told me the guy is coming Saturday. I figured he was going to say when he called on lunch yesterday if I got there before then that I could buy it. He did not.
There's literally like 15 manual S5s under $40k nationwide right now. So not much to report. There was a loaded white prestige that popped up in NJ yesterday. They don't even have good pics or full descriptions up yet. But I already had Audi message me all the details. The problem is it's a automatic. Everything else is perfect... :/

The fact that someone got numerous other people to stare at a brick wall for an unreasonably long period of time (I don't care how long one actually looked at it, it was too long), is hilarious to me.
im just mad i wasted precious work time looking for something not as cool as a lizard.
