The "Look what I got today!" Thread

So as summer is ending, why not make a thread of the latest and greatest things you are getting for your 3G TL before the cold hits, or for yourself?

Waiting for this to come, just ordered. RHO plate!

since you're getting the RHO plate, you know what would look great on your car?

a domed decal for your front bumper!

How about a "Your Latest Purchase" thread? That way it's not all car stuff and Austin can post pictures of his blowup doll he named "Jessica".

I don't think we need another "what did you do today for your TL thread". I think we need to take away Orange's thread making button. He is the original JJH.

Yes, it is a low profile jack. Plus, it's an extra long one, which will fit well under the Aspec front lip.

The same jack was at Harbour Freight for $120, but it was a 1.25 ton capacity.

^^ That jack looks legit Steven. I need one in a bad way. I was also looking at the ones on Harbor Freight, but this one is 3.25 tons and it's only $105, that's a steal!

Machine, that's what I thought too. That's why I pulled the trigger on it. Skip Harbour Freight.

Wait....you were going 80 in a 65 mph zone and you're calling him a "pig"? Really......
