I say we go on the last Saturday. That gives us enough time to plan and for those who work can get the early shift or the day off.

Mardi Gras List

1. Evilvirus
2. justnballs
3. s_p_rocks
4. Bada$$VTEC
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I guess after Mardi Gras we can plan for the go carts.

Possibly interested. Is price firm, or can you maybe go down to 150? Would like to pick some of these up, but cant do anything until next payday. Doing the brakes and ordering GM Synchromesh this weekend so all the xtra funds are tapped. Send me a PM and lemme know.

I called 4 Acura dealers in Houston for A and B service quotes. Sterling McCall had the lowest/cheapest prices compared to Gillman, Champion, and John Eagle (the most expensive).

It was frustrating how every dealer wasn't 100% open over the phone or online on what their services entailed and how much they cost. A buddy and I drove to every dealer in H-town. We itemized what the manual called for, and we compared it to what the dealers suggested. The following are snapshots of how much SM Acura charges for their services. I know most of you perform your own oil changes or use indy shops instead. Nevertheless, I hope this helps.

*I didn't care for one of the service advisors named Antonio Mora because of his rudeness. We requested talking to someone else because it was our last stop. Beverly, another SA, was warm and friendly. The waiting lounge has free WiFi, coffee and water bottles, and several comfy chairs. I will bring my car here for services. There's a TV with your name and what time your vehicle is ready. They also have a camera view of one of the garage bays so you can see what a technician is doing but its angle was unhelpful.
