^should i break out the 'shit just got real' meme?...Lol
also, i wasn't factoring in the TSX...he's never had it since I've known him so I exclude it.
in any event, i still dig the F quite a bit. she's mean.

-Your decision to buy an IS-F juxtaposed to a NSX. 
NSX is a secondary car not a daily driver
-Your decision to travel at a rate of speed in excess of maximum sustained speeds in a deer zone at night..in a tsx..that has multiples of thousands of dollars invested in it. Pretty sure the deer sign isn't until mile marker 21 so what was a deer doing a a 3 lane + 1 exit stretch of highway. I was also only doing 75mph which is the regularly traveled speed on that road.
-Your decision to execute a drift on a bridge. Why are you still bringing this up. If you didn't notice from the first point I had never posted this on here anywhere as I had no intentions of bringing it up yet this is about the 5 or 6th time you have brought it up.
-Your decision to 'hoard' wheels and claim to not have any money I like my wheels it gives me the flexibility to easily change up the look of the car without hesitation. Some sets are valuable like certain LEGO and will gain in value.
-Your decision not to change the date of a meet greater than a month away. I was not about to change the date of a meet in which I already had 16 confirmed people at the time you asked for that to occur. If it had been 5 or less people at that time I would have considered it. The point of picking a date so far out was to give people time to plan things around it so not as to have to miss it. I did not know the event in Atlanta was the same weekend. If you were on the forum more back then you could have posted that the day the thread was made considering the first week was a vote between two different dates. YOU DIDN'T VOTE AT ALL!!!
-Your decision to drink beer instead of going to an epic automotive enthusiast event I have wanted to go to Oktoberfest for a while now. I bought my ticket a full two weeks before knowing the event was even happening in Raleigh.
-Your decision to not exercise your driving skills/techniques by staying at home this weekend when you should be practicing by putting on an extra 600-700 miles. Improve my driving skills by driving more??? Really? I highly doubt you have accumulated 28k miles on your car in the last 11 months like I have.
-Your decision to continually consume beer at taco mac averaging $5 per beer instead of saving that money to fix your tsx. This one is just comical. I mean seriously. I eat out one night a week that is it. Every other night I make food at home. My tab at TacoMac has once graced $62 and every other time been less than $55 and the first couple months of going was never more than like $35. I am pretty sure the amount of times you eat out each week exceeds that value.
...?!Thanks for playing

Jason is certainly entitled to his own decisions.
If I were him, the TSX would have become the daily driver, and the newly acquired NSX would then become the weekend warrior/garage queen/whatever you want to call it.
If that were to have happened, the TSX, by default, would never be drifted into a guardrail. The NSX, due to it's rare nature, would never be put in danger because it's just not worth devaluing the car like that into a guardrail.
So with that being said, all cars would be intact. He would be the KING of acurazine by maintaining 2 prestine Acuras. All would be glorious, and he would have no issues with driving to events.
But this is all hindsight.
Jason, please make better decisions from this point on.
Thank you Sir,
Your Dear friend Eric.

Current Cars:
TSX --- Built show car with go that is stanced, is paid off and will never sell because I have to much history with it
IS-F --- Fun daily driver with lots of power and great looks. Great for commuting. Has a V8 and yet on long highway trips I still get 27mpg.
Eventual Pickups:
Chevy Silverado 2500HD --- Diesel work truck for doing work on eventual house projects and for towing my trailer that will transport my toys. Oh and for a truck it still gets 24mph on the highway. Also be used as a children hauler eventually since it will be 4 door cab.
NSX --- Amazing Japanese super car with loads of history that will be fun to occasionally drive to work but serve most of it's purposes on the weekend for joy rides.
Again things have there purposes. I would like an NSX now but I also wanted my first daily driver to be a car that has a warranty and isn't modded to all hell. The IS-F will stay simple. It will still look good but be simple.
Take for example I just went to a wedding in July and had to travel on back stone roads in the mountains. How in the heck would I have driven a slammed stanced TSX with 215 tires on a 9in wide wheel. Since the TSX was on its stock wheels with a mild drop this was no problem.

In regards to your decision about 215 tires and stance. That's your decision. You decide you like the way it looks.
The decision on my car is to go with what works/functions the best. Or 255s, no spacers/stance.

Implying that I purposely wanted to wreck either one of my cars is complete disrespect in my opinion.

We can make your car flush like Jeremy's while keeping your beefy tires. We just need the rears rolled and the spacers that I have.
Lets do it this weekend
PS: All uses are "your" in the above sentences are correct. Thank You

Please you know we have gone over this numerous times that you feel like something is missing and stance is it. We need to get your fenders rolled this weekend. Maybe you and Brian can both get them done this Saturday at Eurowise so they can do two TLs back to back. I will even come hangout and make a party of it.

I saw lots of beautiful cars today. And i took only a few photos. Maybe i will upload them to my computer now.
Hopefully some of the cars I saw today will show up to the ISO meet in 3 weeks, which all of us will be going to. Unless you're lame or something.
