wait until a few years after your 21st then you'll feel old

then wait until your zach's age then you'll feel ANCIENT

Walnut Creek cool, I have family there and I'm always passing by on 680 when visiting the gf in Fremont. When you're down there I'll have to visit and buy you booze.

Solano doesn't offer enough classes, and I want a change of pace. I talked to my teachers and a lot said Solano is just highschool version 2.
I'm going to get a ******* Civic EG to commute in, and I have a lot of family in concord/walnut creek so hopefully I can stay with my grandparents on the weekdays.

So i was gonna get it resized but my dad is going to go ahead and buy a new oil pan and for the cam sensor it should be just an o ring. So yeah should have that fixed eventually maybe in a week or 2.

What should I do with the neon lol I might just keep it completely stock and not do a damn thing to save up money for an 8 or something. you guys will get to see my badass neon next meet T_T

Not sure what trans i'm going to use in My first gen, but once I find out I'll either have a GSLSE trans or an S4 FC N/A trans. Might be a while tho.

car parts hardly fill the void in your life that a woman can cause.

It's all good Nick. Now you don't have to worry about anything other than school and your car. Much easier that way.

Congrats to the Vacaville guys that just graduated. Now you get to start school again in the fall.

Anybody know anyone selling any black name brand (corbeau, sparco, etc.) reclining seats? I know thats kind of specific

Right now I'm looking at the Corbeau A4's they are pretty cheap at 299 per but if I could find some used that would be nice.
I have some ebay ones right now that the freakin reclining mechanism broke on. Stupid cheap *** ebay crap! I guess you get what you pay for, eh.

BTW Nick you guys flaked my ride last night man, j/k

Are you moving back for good or just coming for a visit? No worries, you can't thread jack a thread with no real topic.

Cool what do you do there? Service technician?

I actually havent had my car serviced yet. I have an aftermarket extended warranty which lets me bring it to any ASE certified place. My mom already has an established connection with a service advisor at MB of SF for her E500 and it's close to me so I'll probably go with them as well.

Got any hookups on parts? I need some w203 bixenons badly, the frosted lenses just kill the look Best pricing I could get on a new set is $1500-1600 Euro spec).

Also how much labor do you charge at your dealership? I've heard MB of SF is one of the more expensive ones.
