Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

or long road trips which we seem to do a lot of. on the last trip it was noted you have to do the hill part of the trip in 5th. the rest of the trip is flat. it's easy to forget to put it back into 6th.

i will say this. filled the 18gal tank and made the 360mi trip with 1/3 tank left when we got there. Legend = 30+mi per gal

i love my manual. i get 36 mpg in the city. way better than the crx, i could only get like 25 at the most.

thinking about gas mileage depresses me since I ruined mine in the accord with the ridiculously heavy rims. Killer on thos 1000 mile trips between FL and Chicago :slap:

ah i hate talking about rims. i want some new ones.

i want some mugen rnr's

i would really like to own 4 sets of rims, just so i could change them whenever i felt like it.

I definitely wouldn't mind some extra sets

There's a guy in tallahassee with a silver A6 that has chromes one the left side and black/chrome on the right so it looks like 2 different cars when you only see one side in traffic

SiZ did that. He had bronze on one side and black on the other of his hatch.

I was gonna get my rims resurfaced and painted black/blue to match my car when I was at school but I lacked the $250 to do so. Now I got the $250 but I'm not in tally anymore :(

i try to keep a set of crap stockies with studded tires for winter, a set of upgraded stockies that look good for long distance travel, and a nice set of rims for around town/car shows...then again we also keep stock hoods for the winter and travel. then go to the trouble to put on the CF for summer/car shows.

yes i'm aware normal people would buy seperate rigs for different seasons and i instead micro manage all my vehicles in an o.c.d. manor so they can be driven whenever and not trashed on too hard :screwy:

i considered some 18" rims for the LC...something that i could be stylin with and go in the mud with

I'm so f***ing pissed off right now. I went out front to smoke a cigarette (can't smoke in the house anymore), and decided to check on my car. It's been sitting for a about a months now in my front yard, and I haven't bothered looking at it. My parent's old dodge caravan is right next to it, like 3 inches away on the rear because we had to push my car into the yard. So I was lightly smacking the rear passenger side wheel well (the corner closest to the van and the one with all the rust). Next thing I know it feels like something bit my arm. We have all these little spider webs all over the yard, so I figured some kind of spider bit me...but I was wrong. I look up to see what bit me and I see 2 bees flying around me. Obviously I bolted out of there, as I remembered seeing bees building a nest in the rear hatch of the van. At that point my arm was burning like crazy, and I realize I got stung by 2 freaking bees at the exact same time!!! I haven't been stung by a frigging bee since I was a little kid, but some how I managed to get stung by 2 at once. I'm so pissed off right now, but I'm also glad I'm not allergic like my brother is, or I'd be on my way to the hospital right now. But you can guaren-damn-tee I'm going to get my can of bee spray out tomorrow and kill every single one of those motherf***ers.

well, do you feel better venting about it?

kill them ALL!!!

I say you torch the whole car.

Actually I do feel a little better venting about it. I have the can of hornet and wasp spray all set, sitting by the door (I know it's sitting there because it hasn't walked away yet...buh dum bum psh). On the side of the can it says to use it at dusk, because that's when they'll be resting. So I'll probably do it in a few minutes instead of tomorrow.

Update: Muhahaha those bastards definently regret the day they screwed with The Spoon Man. The can I have shoots up to 20FT, so I was able to get the nest they started building in the cracks of our gutters. When I sprayed it, the stuff dripped into a nice puddle on the driveway below. So when they started dropping down from the nest, they dropped right into the puddle. I stomped the one that missed the puddle, because I didn't want it to suffer too much.

ya, right. She does like chevys most. but, your c5 hatch changed her feelings on hondas. there not so bad now. and even if i bought a american car, i would still be part of you guys, as I still have the 4g sitting around, i soo need to start working on it.

GTA-well start working!

civicspoon- feels good now, don't it?

Years ago I tried to sneak under the deck and scare our dog and little did I know there was a hornets nest there…well I found out pretty fast

ami ill trade you legends lol just so you can have the AT..i was gonna go work on it but its supposed to storm all day..i wish i had a garage..

spoon that story was just what i needed this morning..it makes me feel like going out and roasting ants with a magnifying glass..

tony hows that civic comin?? replace those studs yet?

Didn't I just mention that I was stung by a f-ing hornet a couple of weeks ago while cutting the grass around the neighbor's bushes (not the lazy landscaper neighbor that cuts his grass once a season... haha... the other side). The thing stung my shoulder and it was all red for about a week. I'll be damned if I bother cutting that grass anymore. I'm thinking privacy fencing on both sides of our property all the way to the curb...

When I was young, my buddy from around the corner decided to throw a big rock into the hornets nest residing in our front yard. The next 2 minutes consisted of him flailing around running from the swarm that promptly attacked him and me laughing hysterically from the porch... ahh the good ol days

foosh- naw i haven't had that much time, lately me and the wife have been trying to spend more time together. just 'cause we hit our 2 year anniversary on the 21st of july. and we realized we needed to start spending more time together. but it's cool we have a schedule or whatever worked out so i kinda get all day saturday to myself.

well then GTA, you should buy the ITR...what a conincidence! it has a c5! :pimp:

get 'em spoon man! i'm really allergic so i have no love for bees. we're batteling mosquitos here. everything is so over grown from the previous owners letting it go that it's turned into a bug haven. the more i cut down the better it seems to get. oh yea, and the birds
:angryfire :banghead: :swear:
it doesn't matter where you park. the car is going to get hit multiple times every day. i have never had such an urge to kill bird. i'm hoping by removing the 1 tree and cutting back the other out front that they'll move on to the trees in the back along the street (no harm done there) OR find a whole different location with trees from my house.

i don't think i want an AT Legend. at this point if the car is sold then i'll be after something completely different, like always.

so the wife and i were argueing about wedding colors last night. (yeah we got married in a courthouse) so she wants some type of green, and then she asked for my opinion and i told her that if she wants green then she should go with a honda championship white, and don't stop there make the green a tein green. lol needless to say she thought i wasn't taking her seriously. but i will have my championship white! wuhahahaha

taffeta white?:dunno:

doing the same thing...took like 10 minutes in the courthouse to get married :thumbsup: but she wants a formal wedding, so next year we will have it on our 2nd official anniv. or our 8th anniv...but i told her to plan it ;)

Yeah. I got hitched in the courthouse too... actually the basement of the old courthouse. I'm sure the newer courthouse building would've been nicer... haha

We're not planning a formal wedding ceremony...

I used to work at a tux rental shop and the wives were inc harge of all color decision 99% of the time. They would let their hubby-to-be look around and pick out colors but when it came to putting the registration down on paper they began to veto colors one by one until their color of choice was the only survivor. Sometimes the wife would come in solo and look at colors that their husband and his party would be forced to wear later.

LoL...championship white and tahitian green.

Mmmmm..... Tahitian Treat :licka:

LoL...championship white and tahitian green.

only if yo're getting married on some tropical island

...wait..wha? I didnt see what you said, I was too busy staring at your avatar..

I spend much of my days at work looking at BLU's avatar and then scrolling away quickly when people walk by

:lol2:

well new problem...sap from the pine trees is getting on the LC :(

dood...

You can keep sap from ruining your paint if you catch it while its fresh. Just get one of those citrus adhesive removers and it'll come right off.

i want to get my windows tinted this next check. it gets to damn hot in the car if i go somewhere during the day.

if only i had money..

but lady, you wont sell me the type r for the price i would want to pay :p

i will the way it sits...i'll even bolt on the headlights and front bumper :icon16:

How does it sit? lol

lol no thanks

i want more power in my civic.

how's that one saying go? you can have two of three things fast, reliable, and FUCK what's the other one?

never mind i figured it out. it was cheap.

guy never emailed me back about the NX :(

Its in my sig tony lol...

Another long Friday... ugh

How does it sit? lol

well, it is a theft recovery where they stole everything down to the brakelines and clipped all the wires. so jer got all that taken care of, turned key and it started with no check engine light. everything works again. i would call it mach-up stage. now it's in the process of being pulled back apart (brakelines and all) to build from the ground up Down To Ground style :naughty:

Did anybody watch "Fine Tuned" last night on Speed? They built a 6th gen Civic from the ground up with a B20b/vtec with mostly Skunk 2 parts for everything. It was white with cf hood and trunk, pioneer system, sweet multi-piece rims (like 15") jdm style? I thought it was a nice car minus the ricey red stripes on the door panels courtesy of the Asian upholstery/seemstress ladies and all the f&f style stickers on the fenders and side skirts.

never heard of it

Another long Friday... ugh

90% of the people at my office leave at 11:30 :icon16:

hurray for the internet working at home

never heard of it

I think it was the premiere episode. They have a team and build/tune import cars. There were other bits of footage too I guess to fill in the hour long spot.

Long friday indeed. This is my first visit to af all day. I usually would've had at least 2 hours of quality whoring time by now

the night before last i was bit by a mosquito in the outter corner of my left eyelid. :banghead: yesterday it itched but i left it alone. today it itches + swollen. i use "Off" every night so i can water plants in the evening. the mosquito apparently found the only place i don't spray....for obvious reasons.

the night before last i was bit by a mosquito in the outter corner of my left eyelid.

so now they're tryin to blind us

I also water my garden in the evening. I use spray Skin So Soft bug spray. I wiped some on my hands the other night and wiped my face. I ended up with 3 huge welts on the only places that I guess I missed... my neck, and near both side burns. Bastards! Last night I wiped more all over my face and you can see the little bitches buzzing around but not getting too close.

Ami, use some 1% hydrocortisone or the 2% stuff made out of benadryl. The generics work just as well as name brands...
