By the way, I saw a G37C biting Eric's wheels the other day...highlighter yellow TEs (or maybe the knockoffs, was too far away for that level of detail). It was silver or gray. The wheels look better on the TL, and the color looks better on white. Thus Eric wins, the biter fails.

Any car can be driven at its limits, including ones seen as pedestrian by most people. And I'd be willing to bet the Accord's limits are well beyond what you experience on a daily basis to the point that you'll walk away grinning from ear to ear. Then, after doing that a few times, you'll buy a dedicated track car
.That's awesome! Love the cold!
Can't wait for snow

Evan, how's the puppy?

He's doing very well, thanks for asking! We seem to have made really good progress on what breeders call "sharking" (nosing your crotch, nipping hands, "punching" you with his nose), and he is getting more and more obedient. Jeanine and I really need to socialize him more, as I don't think he's even had a real chance to play with other dogs since we got him. He can't really play with my parent's dogs because he's twice their size and doesn't realize that he's bigger than they are.
We love him to death though, and he's doing well. Thanks for asking!
I'll have to get a few pictures up. He's growing crazy fast, even the pictures from a couple weeks ago don't even look like him anymore with the exception of his face.

Jason won a $50 assaultech gift card and I won some cool drift monkey sunglasses through the raffle.
The TSX put down 322 and the TL did 299.

Actually he could break 300hp if his lazy ass would fix his car. Apparently 3 of the 4 O2 sensors on his car are bad and he has continued to just drive it that way. When he told me this I kind of did this 
I can't imagine how bad that is making the engine run. Wouldn't want to see what the inside of that engine looks like. But yeah the j-pipe would help as well.
Right now he needs to spend money on O2 sensors and tires but that is another story on its own

Honestly tune is least of his worries right now. We also both forgot to tell the guys running the dyno to turn off the traction control

Just now while browsing through the te37 hashtag I came across a clip of my TL backing out of the dyno and then the same guy had a video of Jason's tsx from the rear and it shot a little flame out at max rpm lol.

Realistically replacing a tire with an 8in slice in layer one of the side wall and replacing 3 bad O2 sensors are not mods they are just proper maintenance for a car. You are really doing a disservice to your engine by running it with 3 broken O2 sensors. Yes it has made it this far but you are not helping your engine life. That tire is a danger to not only you but others on the road if it separates and flies off the wheel. I thought the TL is important to you? You need to take better care of it.

Your loss when it goes terribly wrong. Pay a little now or pay a lot later. That is what happens when you don't maintain a car properly.
When was the last time you checked your brake pads?
You buy the parts and I am willing to help you do the o2 sensor install.

The TL will be fine.
Let's focus on taking photos of our cars this weekend with the leaves in their prime state. Last year on November 4 was when I found some good yellow and red trees.
