true. my entire car is effed up, i still go to meets and stuff whenever i can.

as for wednesday, theres a 50/50 chance i can get off work. if i cant get off, assuming the meet is in the triangle i'd need to leave by 3:30 to make it back to winston on time for work.

if wednesday doesnt work out, what about this weekend? i'm free saturday, sunday, and monday.

Anyone know somewhere cheaper and reputable that I could have it done?

Sup y'all. Ha I am a yankee originally from Ohio using southern twang. Any way I am new to Zine and purchased 08 TL MRP in May 2011. It was pretty much bone stock with the exception of rain guards I have yet to take them off) any suggestions on how to remove sticky residue without messing up finish would be appreciated. I did get windows tinted (my first upgrade) 35% on fronts and rears (NC law). I guess I could have gone darker now that I think about it and just had it taken off to pass the inspection. Next upgrade I have planned is sub and amp. CAI after that then we will see. I am military stationed at SJ in Goldsboro. My upgrades will be slow going due to I am only source of signifcant income of family of 4. I am up for meeting in Raleigh on the weekends. I would need a like a week notice. Nuff for now

I paid 100 plus parts for an ex honda technician to do it, but that was in south florida...
Just talk to some of the guys by the service bay, who doesnt want extra cash for a side job?

Anyways, I just moved into Mooresville 3 days ago from south florida...Im looking forward to any meets

while waiting at a redlight on Market Street in Wilmington my 06 tsx was hit in the rear by someone in a 04 dodge. Their car had to be towed, the driver was given a ticket for not maintaining a safe distance and then was arrested after the cop checked their driver's license. They had outstanding warrants. At least the car was insured.

thanks-those acuras do an excellent job-that dodge is another story. I took the car to a body shop-so far they estimated the damage at $1,567.00-might be more when they lift it. The back bumper is ripped and pushed in, the tailpipe is crushed. The person I talked to at this driver's insurance co told me she also owns a 06 gray tsx, bought around the same time as me with almost the same mileage. I am heading to Jersey tomorrow for 2 weeks so I will not be getting it fixed until I get back to NC. I will be getting a rental car while my car is being repaired. (their insurance is paying for it)

Wrecks and Service

Sounds like we're all beating our cars up, by no fault of our own

Jerry at Quality Plus off New Bern quoted around $750 for the 105k service.

Leith Acura - Quoted $1800

Leith Honda - Quoted $600 (go figure)

I may have to check out that Greensboro deal when I roll over 105 (sitting at 95k now).

I swear Leith Acura is run by a bunch of crackheads. Just because you're located in Cary (more like Apex) doesn't mean you can charge out the ass for stuff.

Plus they are stupid as fuck. They tried telling Jason (bobbylight83) and I that Acura didn't make a 6-speed TL. Jason said, "well I got it in the parking lot if you want to see it"

Exactly what I said! I told her, "hey we could drive to Charlotte for the day, see some cool cars, hang out with people, and then come home!".

She didn't seem too thrilled.
