That's actually my "end of poop" face; right when I'm about to pinch it off and let it drop.

I'd post my "beginning, middle and end of poop" face here, but I don't think you guys could handle it.

Bastid. I still need to finish the last season.

It's rainy and kind of cold here today. Tomorrow is going to be in 70s. I just want today to end.

I just started the show last week and I'm on Season 3 now

The weather this week has sucked. I was hoping it wouldn't rain before the middle of next week so I can attend the UNCC meet without having to wash the car beforehand. Instead, it's been raining all day

Its a good show, the season with Lithgow (season 4?) was quite possibly the best.

I've heard nothing but bad things regarding the final few episodes, which I haven't seen let, so I'll reserve judgement on that.

This is something I refuse to bring up in Car Talk, because it's not worth the "debate". But, I'm actually really excited to see the TLX Concept next Tuesday. The reason? The dude that led development on it also had a big hand in the 3G TL. I'm hopeful, for Acuras sake, that they can design a great looking car with the right powertrains to back it up.

I know that it'll have two available engines and both FWD and AWD configurations, but that's about it. I hope it's worth killing off the TSX and TL for.

I have no heartburn for killing off the current TL, but the TSX....that one annoys me.


On another note, I've been looking at this:

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=3

It's basically the poor mans TL-S. The color combo is exactly what I'd want. It's got everything I'm looking for in a daily; manual, decent power, heated seats, four door. I'm very comfortable with that motor and honestly, the 7G Accord sedan is one of my favorites.

Only thing I'd do is pre-cat deletes, tint, hybrid lip spoiler and taillights, and mayyyyybee springs.


EDIT - Actually, no, I will put springs on it. Because the SE-R wheels I have would look sick on it. And I'd also mod the headlights because that's what I do.

The mod bug is already hitting me and I don't even know for sure if I want the car

The TSX may be history but honda is bringing back the accord wagon (not cross tour) based on the TSX wagon platform and if this is true I hope it comes paired with the front ends that are on the new accords because they're dope looking

If you do go with springs, neuspeed gives you the biggest drop at like 2.75F/2.5R

I wonder if I will make the same face I made when I first saw the 04 TL in a commercial. It was this face with my mouth open.

Are those drop numbers for the auto or the manual? The manual would be lighter, which is an issue the CL had with springs. I may call up Fortune Auto and see what they'd do for me though.

I mainly just want to clear them and get rid of the amber.

I've always liked the idea of getting halos, but I've never really done much research on it because I wouldn't know what to do about with wiring them up to a seperate switch, or how they install/reviews for that matter.

There's so many possibilities that I've seen that it's like wow that's awesome I want that but then there would be too much going on. I once saw the new generation accord with modded headlights that had the sticker bomb vinyl on the bottom part of the housing and I thought it looked pretty cool but idk how it would be on the TL.. Here's a pic of it.. But really I think I just want them cleared

Tyler is pretty good when it comes to head. Lights. Headlights.
