So much truth in that statement. I feel like I'm going to spend way more getting it were I want and never be truly satisfied with it. So I'll just kick it now, make sure she gets a good new owner and not some fart head teenager thats gonna rice her out and wish her good luck.

Hmm, might not go so well. I may or may not have shouted at a manager there

^^ I can get them, but they're pretty expensive. I was looking into those with a few members from the G35driver forum.

I did nothing to my Fit. But I did receive my JDM hazard button which I hope to install this weekend with some other items in that general area

Now I've really started to miss that. I went and looked at a GTI last saturday and I love it. Very nice interior, amazing feel to the seats, rides excellent, and the power... so much better than what we have in the fit . So I'm thinking around January at the earliest and June at the latest I'll probably be switching over.
if your really considering going for the gti why not just get the new r20? its supposed to be very nice and the price difference is not that much considering u get a 6spd 256hp and 4motion

R20? Or R32? I was thinking of doing the GTI and keeping it simple and stock for a bit and then when the urge for more power comes a friend of mine has connections at APR for that.

The new one is an R20, 2.0L Turbo I4. I was actually seriously considering it but the significant decrease in Interior space is swaying me away...

Yes sir that's my boy Chris, his sedan is super clean. He's changed it a lot the past few months. What's your user ID?

for me i just did a quick check to ensure tire pressure is okay and placed a window scraper in there just in case it starts to freeze up over night next week.

HA - I'm on the same road... dug out the snow brush/scarper this AM. Snow/Rain mix in the forecast next two days.

Last week I was doing this:


At IKEA - Boston loading about 350# of shelving unit stuff to drive 275miles to Old Town Maine.

Say NO to crack!

>.<

In other news... I had a strange dream that it snowed... and that's all I remember of the dream too.

I would've put the shelving units in the Fit, mostly cause I don't have a trailer to use.

HA - you would pick up on that!!

No option of putting the stuff inside. 2 boxes were 7', 3 were 5', 2 were 4' and all were heavy as hell, plus a 3' picture frame, 6 pillows, some sort of flower pot thing and a bag of who knows what - then three adults.....

And always remember, "... always dream the wish you dream to come true."

What can I say, I'm a per... uh, concerned citizen. La La La.

I love a little snow... just not the whiteout conditions and dumping we had last year.

And WHOA, that's a lot of stuff and people. Last few times I've gone to IKEA, it was by myself, so I usually have some options on how to stuff things into the car.

Yesterday, the TPMS light went on.

I had not checked the pressure for about 7 weeks.

7 weeks ago we were still having days with temperatures
over 100 with nights not much lower than 80. That has since
changed.

Checked the tire pressure... 29psi in all except one rear
tire that was 20psi... and that had me concerned about
a slow leak in that tire.

Pressure has been adjusted to 34psi all around and will
monitor. So far so good. At least I have verification the
system works. LOL

when i had stock rims and tires my tire pressure sucked it started becoming a every couple day thing, Get nitrogen in the tires at your local honda place, im telling you the ride will feel smoother, no more having to check tire pressure, better gas mileage

Well, today I made a mess in my car. I was carrying some boba syrup for my sister but dropped one big jar on the way to the car. It opened up a little since it was a plastic jar and made a mess in my driveway. I put jar in a trash basket and put it in my car I thought it would be secure enough... obviously not. I would've just thrown it away at home, but I thought my sister might be able to use the half that didn't come out of the jar. It tipped over and dumped some more syrup into the floor area in the rear passenger side. Some got caught in the floor mat but the basket was too far to the side and much of it poured onto the side right on the carpet. The worse part is some got behind the plastic panelling. I cleaned most of it... and because the syrup doesn't soak in that easily, the open area of the carpet seems clean enough. Just can't get under that plastic.

So, anyone got tips on removing the plastic? Or should I just take my car to a professional detailer? I wonder if the pros take seat cushions apart. Maybe they can finally clean the old Pepsi spill on the other side of the rear seats.

This all could've been avoided ... if I hadn't tried to be slick and tried to carry two large plastic jars and one smaller glass jar at the same time.
