Years ago, we transported a bunch of koi that we rescued up to the fam. One dumbass jumped out of the holding container and dried out ded in the bed of the truck, the rest made it to the destination. We split them up between FIL and Cousin. FIL had built a little pond for them, happy fishes. Next time we saw him asked cousin about how his fish were doing. He ate them.

WTF.

Back in 08 when my area flooded, we were bow fishing in the streets. When the water receded, all you saw were dead carp everywhere!

Hey I posted a separate thread but thought I'd ask it here -

I am thinking to upgrade my 4G TL from 17" to 19" wheels/tires but not sure if I can live with the ride/noise. Does anyone here have a 4G TL running on 19"s? I'd like to ride a long (or if you let me, drive the car) to see how it is? Thanks a bunch.

Hi All,

I own a 2006 3G TL and have some issues with the brakes. I get a grating sound while braking after I changed all four brake pads recently at a local repair shop. I am planning to go back there and ask them to check it out.

I bought the car when it had 77K miles on it and it is now up to 140K. Any recommended service that needs to be done? I live in the Galleria area and would welcome a visit to anyone who can take a look at the car and advice.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

the local repair shop must have bent a dust shield. Have them go over the install and check their work!

In Midtown but you might see me stuck in traffic on Southwest Frwy, West Loop, or North Frwy. Or I could be parked up at a restaurant, enjoying that diverse H-Town cuisine scene.

Sup H-Town AZ. Been busy with some mods and this is what the RDX looks like now.

Yeah, I barely have enough free time to wipe my ass after crapping. But if something comes together, I'd be down if I can get a kitchen pass

My bro was born and raised in HTinnneee but he's been away for a minute
He wanted recommendations for new areas a friend of his should consider moving to

I told him take 10 west.. and just keep driving.
Unless the 10 just funnels into 1 lane and he's met by a deathsquad between the inner and outer loop.
Probably

HTinnnnneeee!!!
Btw.. was just there, saw some young vatos in Mustangs parked outside Toyota Center
Both rides booted for skipping out on the parking fee.

So.... I've been gone quite a long time here and things have changed for me in that time quite a bit. Traded our 2017 RDX for a 2018 MDX Tech (Blue/Grey) and 2 years ago I bought an Infiniti G37 Sedan 6MT. 2 Days ago I traded that G37 in for a new 2019 Acura TLX A-Spec SH-AWD. Just wanted to show it off here to you guys, since I am still in South Houston (Texas City) and still working at Acura in LC.
To those of you in Houston, if you went to the car show this car will be familiar. You may have even sat in it!




I finally get to be more active here now that my car (the one I mod) is an Acura. Looking forward to seein you guys on the road!
