You will never buy a new car. Good to hear you are waiting. Was hoping you would choose a different car anyways :P cause there are no mods at all for what you had decided on.

Just got back from spending the last four hours with a pit bull trying to help him like people again. This past Thursday he was brought in to the humane society Megan volunteers at. He was found wondering the street with a chain attached to a metal wire around its neck that it looks like it was able to break to get free. He has several wounds on his legs and back side and is missing part of his tail. He is covered in ticks and flees that we have been removing for the past several days. When he came in he didn't even know what to do with the toys he was given but he was sweet towards anyone and everyone who would come up to him. This afternoon he finally started playing with toys as well and now has a favorite squeaky toy. 
I seem to have become his pall over the past two days I have spent with him but I can't adopt him so hopefully we can find him a good home. It makes me so sick that people do this and I find it amazing that he can still be so sweet regardless of it all.
Need to get the pics from Megan but I will get some posted soon.

Just get him. When anyone visits, just say you're pet sitting for a friend who had a family emergency and no other option except you. Jeez, I would've thought you'd know how to handle these sorts of things. Or just blame Megan...say she brought him home I don't have a house or even a place
, but Tyler has a pet-friendly place

Your family will never be complete unless there is a dog included.

Anyways, I was messing with my door speakers today and when I went to make sure everything works, door latch and locks, the door closed shut and wont open from inside or out.
How do I get the door open ? Anybody have experience with this problem? Trying not to get piss and maybe you guys can help?

The little green clip that secures the door lock to the metal rod was probably removed.

Been busy this weekend and with the help of a local TL owner , we installed :
H&R Sport Springs
TL Type - S 20mm rear sway bar
Energy Suspension 20mm bushings
And heres the out come ( crappy rainy day and Iphone 4s pictures )
It rides good and its exactly what i wanted with the TL . Ive had plenty of LOW cars and thats just not what i wanted with the TL . When i bought this car it had 55k on it so i re used the oem shocks and ride is comfortable with the sporty feel to it . I'll be getting the alignment done on saturday after its done settling down .
Also picked this up too !
Im wanting to delete the mid muffler , but i need some shop recommendations on good exhaust shops that do good work . Before I put the jpipe on .

If I remember correctly, the wires in the first picture connect to the handle mechanism and those totally severed in half. The second picture is the other end of the cord.

Yeah like Tyler said you should still be able to use the outside handle cause it is connected by rods and not by the cable. You shouldn't have needed to disconnect the rods to put the speaker in. I think that is what I did when I had my issue. I panicked thinking I couldn't open the door cause I didn't connect the cable and then realized the outside handle still worked.

In the past the hubs and I have went to Muffler Masters on S Cannon in Kannapolis. They have yet to touch the TL (that is coming soon just waiting for the new mufflers to come in) but have used them on a couple of our previous Hondas and the Audi. The work was great, quick, and decently priced. All of his coworkers use them and they have been known to refer them to customers in their shop.
Yea , I've seen that place i pass by it everyday . Just wasnt sure ofthe quality of workmanship their . I dont know anyone that has taken their car there

I didn't disconnect the latch to put the speaker in, I had it hanging sideways until I finish screwing the speakers in. Must have got loose and when I went to close the door shit came loose. I will check on it later, taking a break from messing with it.
About to have some Fridays ribs for lunch. Mmm
Jason, how about we all go eat some good food down in ATL for dinner ? Or don't matter. We can split up, girl wanted to try some different foods while we was down there.

Hey, i'm just throwing out ideas for them! They already offer the breakfast buffet and two hours of all you can drink alcohol, so why not just offer a free buffet dinner to go along with it! lol
