I'm strongly considering it
My dad is in FL for business and he's been to Sonny's TWICE this week. I am not happy with him

When I am driving the IS-F is faster right now as I am still learning the ways of the MT. Also if you would go all out on the TSX right now you would have no traction in 1,2, and part of 3rd as I am only on 215 tires right now stretched on 9s. Once I get the rear studs installed I will be able to put on the 265 wide R compound tires.

Using a free program called GIMP. Used a free select trace tool to click around the subject matter and then copied it over to a white background.
Some 14 yr old on flickr told me i should make my creations more presentable so i took his suggestion and went an extra step. It looks pretty cool in mid air like that.

For the forceable future I plan to drive it every day it is sunny outside. Driving it in the rain sucks with the vented hood cause then I am left with a bitch of an engine bay to detail before the Nov 3rd event since I got lots of detail work to work on. You are all free to come to the house and check it out in person before then.

No I think we should go for a cruise around town and listen to each other's motors.
Plus, my one car has more miles on her than both of your cars combined. You bring your car down HERE! hahahaha

I busted out a UHAUL truck last night/early morning. I got really excited when i figured out it was possible to install the ramp that slides in and out.

It's probably going to rain that day so then what are you going to do?
