I work this weekend and then will be working on the house. Need to get the yard watered and mowed. My washer and dryer also get installed this weekend. Spending so much money lately from my savings and none of it is on car parts For the price of a washer and dryer I could have bought a Js Wing.

I can easily see myself not spending much on car parts if we ever got a house. The other night I was watching hgtv and this couple was buying a house and renovating it. It gave me too many ideas.

If I were to guess, you probably went with the front load wash and drier. Am I right or am I right!?

I wanted front load but I went with top load cause my dryer vent is on the left and you can't change the direction of the door on the front load washers. Thus my washer would have to be on the left and the dryer hose would have to run behind the washer. That would cause everything to sit 6-7in out from the wall which would be lots of wasted space.

Welcome to the joys of homeownership! If you knew how much we've spent on this place you'd shit yourself. And we'll be spending more next spring as we tackle a few more projects. Good news is that property values are rising and we're still well ahead of the game (short sale purchase helped too)... so it still makes for a good investment... and better then car parts

I just moved from Upstate, NY to Cornelius, NC (Right outside of Charlotte) I have seen a dropped WDP TL running around Catawba ave. I have an 07 ASM Type S that is all stock.

I live in a sweet lake house with 2 other dudes really close to where Sam Furr meets Catawba. Ive been out of the car scene for awhile, and I am really into freestyle stand up jetskis.

I would love to get back into the car scene and possibly mod my TLS, although I vowed I would never touch it haha.

First order is I need to get the front end repainted...anyone have a good hook up?

I know one of the head salesman at Hendrick Acura and might be able to get some hookups if anyone needs something.

What does that WDP TL you've seen look like? I'm in the Charlotte area but don't recall being in your area before.

As for mods for your car, look into the A-Spec kit. It changes the whole look of the car and it can be had for less than $800 shipped from one of our vendors. Tint your windows too

The WDP looks pretty much just like a stock TL-S that is dropped...maybe has an a-spec kit.

As for the a-spec kit on my car, I do like them, but if I were to buy one, I would have to get a lottt more paint work done because they dont make the aspec kit in ASM other than the side skirts.

I would rather just a minor drop and exhaust. I need to do a little maintenance to my car. I need to replace the oil pain because the drain bolt is completely stripped, and I want to do a 3x3 drain and fill on the tranny and replace the pressure switches...I just dont have a lift anymore.

Yes it seems awesome. Ecstatic though to have a whole garage though.

Hoping I got in on the end of the low prices and mine will rise in 5-10 years and then it will be upgrade time.

Someday I we need to have an Azine meet so we can check out that amazing place of yours. The pictures you shared of the garage build and the house were amazing.

Yes car parts are definitely not an investment although used high end wheels I like to think if you find good deals stay even at least.

Yeah, having a garage is awesome. I really didn't appreciate how awesome until we were a year without one before building ours. Once the outside of the house is a little more updated we'll have some people over. Maybe a BBQ on the deck or something...

Thanks I will have to check them out for a quote. I went to Wilborns? Auto body, and they wanted like over 2 grand to repaint my front bumper and blend the hood and fenders. I thought that was crazy, but maybe not.

I dont know if any of yall would be interested, but we could have an Azine BBQ at my place. We have parking for like 20 cars at least and have 5 acres of land, and 3 docks on the water. We get crazy most weekends.

Dennis, those go karts gives me an idea for my niece and her cousin. They're both scared to get their drivers license so maybe I should take them to victory lane so they can get a feel for what its like to drive.
