Interesting on the Mustang.

Go to the DMV. The only way to get a tag is to stand in line and apply. They'll give you a temporary tag until they mail you the real one. Start with Step 2.

chill, thanks for the link. I just talked to the title company and the DMV won't issue a temp tag until all fees and taxes are paid and the title is "filed" or "registered" (or something).

That'll happen today, so it will be Monday or Tues before they'd issue a temp tag.

Got it.

2005 Mustang V6. Shaker 500 6-CD w/MP3, Anti-Lock Brakes, Power Driver Seat, Rear Wing Spoiler. Pretty basic, I guess it's a "Deluxe" with some option package. Mineral Grey Metallic w/Parchment cloth interior.

72,000 miles, one owner. We'll, 2 now.

Like this:





All stock. I'll put some tint on first; maybe Monday or Tuesday.

Yup. It'll be in the NCSU area next fall.

My wife keeps comparing it to the TL she drives everyday, "Kind of noisy isnt' it?"

Maybe I'll have the chance to see this car in person next fall



Yeah I bet it's a huge difference when compared to the TL.


Thanks Bee! You too!

I've been quite busy, haven't had a chance to check this forum for a few days. I would appreciate some help in putting on the lip kit so if someone has time or knows someone, who is knowledge or placed one on a TL before, I'd like that information. Again, I'll gladly compensate someone for the install; I rather hang out with a fellow AcuraZine member and learn the install instead of just letting a mechanic or the dealer install it. Please PM me or just drop a line here and I'll read it.

So who got hit with yet another round of storms last night? A radar indicated tornado went about 3 miles south of the house this morning, with more lightning than I have ever seen in my life!!!

On a side note, ordered my first big mod yesterday. Greddy EVO's to be installed in a couple weeks along with an ATLP j-pipe

We had a little bit of rain here and that's about it. Nothing serious. I'm glad you and your family weren't affected by the tornado but 3 miles is too close for comfort!

Congrats on the goodies for the car

No storms or rain last night that I know of .

I love my GReddy exhaust (ATLP j-pipe, too, but you don't really hear that).

I'm trying to figure out the second.

Z-Max is just another part of CMS, right?

Does CMP count?

Technically, Z-Max is part of CMS, but I guess I count it separately. The dirt track is part of CMS, too...never really counted that one separately, though.

They need to bring Shuffletown back.

Oh, again, sorry for running out Thursday, but I had a free steak dinner to get to (with some beer that actually showed up ). I honestly can't remember the last time I had service that bad...I think some time in college, so over ten years ago. Did the service get any better?

No the service continued to be just as shitty. Hopefully this week will be a lot better.


To add some good to the thread here is sneak peak cell phone pic of some pics I took of the F this weekend finally. Whats funny is it is a cell phone shot and it is possibly one of my favorites lol.

You know, your cell phone pic looks light years better than most peoples "Photoshoots."

What kind of camera do you shoot with? Looking forward to the rest of the pics By far the best color choice for an F.

Yeah I have been real amazed at the pic quality of my HTC Thunderbolt. Uses same cam sensor as ly HTC Incredible did but definitely takes better pics.

Normally shoot with a D300 but I loaned it to a friend to use as a secondary to shoot a wedding so I borrowed a friends D90 to shoot this past Sunday. Not sure I am as happy with the results though. More cause I didn't like the different way of accessing setting and less focus points of the D90 compared to my D300. They are still decent pics though.

Yes. I am heading to C&C. Since there are not many auto events going on anymore and no shows basically I try to make it to C&C every month if possible.


What is Carolina Rebellion?

Concert of the year (since the Big Four are only doing the CA and NY shows...so far...here's hoping the south and midwest shows they're talking about are added )

Anyway, definitely the best concert in Charlotte this year.

Not a bad concert for sure. However I see that the first band starts at 11:30am and Cars & Coffee is from 8-10am so I see no reason why one cannot attend both

The folly of youth...

1) Getting up early sucks, and I have to get up early just to go to the show (unless I don't work out). C&C requires an even earlier start...not a great idea when you have to endure an eleven hour concert.
2) Can't tailgate at C&C.

But, I will be at TM tomorrow, with nothing to do on Friday .

Unless u got tickets your shit out of luck. Concert got sold out a while back and tickets are going on craigslist for like double/triple the face value.

I was supposed to be going but got dicked out of it. My roommate and I bought tickets online the day they went on sale. 4 tickets. Payed for them online but didn't print them out. When he went to print them out 2 weeks ago a error showed up on the email. He called and they said that yes they did receive payment, but somehow during the conformation email something went wrong and they never held the tickets. Since the show was sold out they said there was nothing they could do about it now and that they could only refund the money.. Total BS.. Screws me out of seeing A7X for the 4th time in the past year and I'm def not paying 200 a ticket for them.

Holy quadruple post. I am pretty sure it has always been listed as 8am-10am. Usually half the people still there by 11am or later. Most people don't start rolling in till about 8:30am but by 9am most if not all parking in the main lot is gone.

Even more crazy than the 4x post was the fact that I couldn't see your posts until now, even though they were posted this morning. It said you made the last post, but the last thing I could see earlier was the 4x post.

Sweetwater glass!!
