Default Thanks!!

Thanks for the love, folks. means a lot coming from this family.

ANDY: the ride is really not as bad as i though it would be. i always hear the words "harsh" and
think of really bad, but it's not. it's just a bit more rigid, which is not bad. my wfe hasn't said
anything negative about it AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!! LOL

MO: thanks for getting the pics right. i figured i'd screw it up.

Aloha: the car is back in the shop right now getting the lip fixed. i took it home the first time
and ran through a rain storm before the epoxy could firm up.
don't do that...

JEFF: yeah, lookin' forrward to seeing your award winning car as well.

DjFergi: yeah, they're 19's with the fat setup. i highly recommend it if anyone want to stay close
to stock. i also have the EDFC installed and it works really well.

ebruce2 & Dave: i know CL has a thing against the gold package but i love it. i love the
contrast when it blings in the light. haha. i must admit though, i hadn't thought about getting
the badges color coded to match the rims. interesting thought...

Neo: i also have the Daizen sways. they were actually the first mod (okay, ya' caught me!) lol
the combination of the sways and the Tien CS are perfect for me. couldn't be happier.

blacksc400: i don't think my wife will ever drive my car again - not that i wouldn't let her if
she wanted to. i think she's scared of hitting a pothole. sheesh, she should be any different
than me?? i guess a day will come when i won't sweat each time i take it out for a stroll - fearing
hitting one of the rim breakers NJ roads are famous for.
honestly, i don't know how folks with 20's do it.

You can recommend a place to a fellow member if they ask. That is no problem. If it starts to look like promo or if a shop comes on and starts advertising themselves, that is something different.

Hey Dave the car looks GREAT! You made a really good choice with the Termist TM1's! The finish really does pop when combined with the polished lip and paint color!

I remember us speaking at TLW's meet last year when I'd just got the business started. You were apprehensive about modding and the costs involved, and I told you we would take care of you! Trust me man, none of your questions were dopey, a lot of this wheel/offset/suspension/tire size stuff is greek to anyone but a car NERD like me (and some of my CL bretheren! LOL).

I personally take a lot of satisfaction in seeing your ride all modded nicely, because you underestimated yourself, well look at you now baby!!! LOL I have to agree with DAVE and Eric, the smoked badges would seal the deal, remember they are glossy pearl, not dull! (still some blang mang!)

Enjoy man, and I'm working on new decals for Sunday's meet!

D2-AUTOSPORT DOMINATION!!!
