There is nothing that can be done to fix it. I will continue to ride dirty.

Thought for sure cmpd was going to pull me over last night. I was behind one and he pulled off to the side and got behind me. Surprisingly he whipped a u turn shortly after getting behind me. Kind of weird. haha And that was on the way back from dropping dorthy's car off to get inspected.

I love the EF chassis, I used to have an 88 hatch. If you need any parts, I've got a few still left over. Especially if you plan on doing a b-swap.

You are just lazy. Saying nothing can be done to fix it is complete BS and you know it.

Finally got some pics last night of the pit I have been working with. He was excited to see me last night as I hadn't seen him for two days. He did bark again a lot at another dog while he was in his cage and the dog was outside but he calmed down for me immediately so there is hope. Trying to get him into a rescue about an hour away so that I can check in on him.

Don't mind my ugly mug.

jason that pit look like it been through some tough times. your doing a good thing for that dog. i don't understand why would someone do something like that to a dogs, even pit bulls, there one of the few dogs that would cry if you yell at it.

here a few of my brother dogs that are the most loving pit bull you would probably meet. there more scared of my 1 year old niece than anything lol.

Hows it goin NC people??? I just wanted to give you guys a heads up because when I get back from Afghanistan at the end of the summer Im gonna be selling my Aspec wheels, Im pretty sure theyre 8.5" width but Ill have to check when I get back... I didnt want to make a for sale thread yet and I figured since theres so many of us in NC somebody might know somebody who wants some. I dont know if I will keep the tires on em or not, depends on what wheels I get. I will put pics up when I figure out my photobucket password, or you can just search my name and see the writeup I did when I painted em...The internet is really slow here or Id do it myself. PM me if you are interested, Ill be on Camp Lejeune but I can come meet wherever. Thanks guys

Oh and if anyone knows someone selling wheels point em in my direction, Im looking for some flat black 18s, possibly xxr 530s, rota grids or similar

So discovered a slightly scary thing last night while working on the TSX. My top transmission mount not only has two tears in it but the bolt had come completely undone and was just sitting in the whole. Glad between engine and transmission mounts there are 6 of them total. Ordered new one immediately last night along with new bolts just to be sure.

That is sad. Only time that happens to the TSX is if I am out of town. Heck sometimes when it rains a lot and I don't want to have to wash it I still start it in the garage just to hear it purrrr.

I am saddened by your lack of care given to your TL anymore. The amount a neglect it is receiving from your no fuqs given attitude is very disappointing.
