lol I know I know
But Tyler, surprisingly the 2 store's that I've always been to were great! Hwy 17 and the old monroe rd firestone shops have been top notch. I've always seen the same 2 mechanics and they were pretty chill. I trusted them with the TL.
I just don't want to drive 35 miles and pay $52 for an oil change at Honda. I'm keeping all the receipts so it would be nice if the car was serviced by Honda dealers every time. But that can be expensive.
I guess I answered my own question

I might go. Anybody else heard about this? I think that nasty white evox that i saw a few months ago at southpark is going to be there and that car alone will make it worth going for me.

Thinking of possibly showing up at your place at 8:30am and making sure you are awake

So what about maybe doing Flying Saucer then tonight since that is kind of in the University Area? You could always come out early and have a few beers then run to the LEGO store and come back for some more afterwards.

Here is a shot i took of their G35 last summer.
#7059
I approve of the g35. What kind of numbers does it put down? I looked into the G37s before getting the TL. Test drove one, and it was definitely quick (quicker than the TL unfortunately), but I wouldnt/couldnt bring myself to enjoy the interior. That, and there were very few with the navi and tech toys the TL provided.
I'll probably head to the soho thing since I'm about 5 miles away. Thanks for the heads up!
