Eric, you're so ghetto 
Jason, that's an absolutely gorgeous house. Congrats man! I expect there to be plenty of beer when you host the next AZ meet there

Just called evasive and inquired about the swan necks. He said they will have some in stock at the end of the year. A 50% deposit can be put down to hold one.

There will always be plenty of beer there. I am not sure about the next AZ meet being there though.
Thanks Eric! You can now see why the cars have not had anything new done to them since I got the TSX back.

Jason, great job on the house!

It's supposed to be running in the Pirelli world challenge series but something happened to the car before it was supposed to debut at belle isle and they never said what the problem was.

Damn, good for Jeremy! I would love to own a 911 one day.
Also, if you guys didn't see on Flickr on in Car Talk, my family friend traded his 458 Spider for a F12:

Hi guys. Been a hot minute since I've been back.. Nothing new going on with the TL except that i got hit by someone by my back driverside quarter panel and bumper... of course they didn't stick around to tell me..
Thought up a different idea for fogs using the 2012-13 passat foglights with the LED drls.. trying to figure out how much it would cost to source all the pieces
.
I know i said i wasn't gunna get anything until the aspec but i think I'm gunna have to put that on hold for a bit longer since dad doesn't want me dropping 750 on the car right now
need to find time to get with you to clear my headlights tyler I've been working so much and I'm sure you have been too well have to set up a days in july when were both off!
Gunna hopefully be trying to get back on here more often and take care of my car again I've been slacking

Shoot me a text whenever you might have a day off of work and we'll set something up. My only request is we make it for a weekend so I don't miss a day of work. It's a fairly basic process but I don't want to be pushed for time or worry about it getting dark before we're done.
Honestly, as long as you don't lay frame and then hit speed bumps at 30 mph, you'll be fine. Just learn where your car can go and if you have a route to work everyday, learn where the bumps and potholes are. I make lane changes at specific times to and from work because I know where all of the crappy parts of the road are

Are you planning no going lower than Eric is? I only ask this cause he has over 200k or more on a car being that lower and has yet to do any oil pan damage to my knowledge. That should give you a good estimate or it.
I know on the TSX the front subframe bar is just in front of the oil pan and at least 1/2-1in lower than the oil pan so the change of actually hitting the oil pan is extremely low. Not sure about the TL.
