yah I do it all the time, unless my gf is with me cause she'll freak out. Have any of you guys had any kind of paint protection installed locally? I'm getting a lot of rock chips on my hood and bumper 
so I'm thinking about maybe doing something about it. Lemme know if you know of a place or a preferred method. 3M Scotchguard is about all I know about.

EVERYTHING is so much more noticeable on white paint. I have to wash it 3 times a week, and if I dont at least rinse it once a day it looks like it hasn't been touched in a month. And with how reflective the paint is, every defect is blatant. I had plenty of chips in the rsx's paint, but you didnt really notice them in the gray paint... I still love my color though, its purdy.

YES! I plan on ordering my decal as soon as the new tshirts go into production. dshiznit had the decals for sale at the Orlando meet but I had exactly $0 on me, boo.
So no suggestions on where to get clearbra/3M installed? Same here seph, and I don't have a place where I can just hose it off, so I break out the quick detailer spray n wipe every day :| It is definitely a lot of work. I NEED A GARAGE!

Do what the ricer bos do, cover your hood with useless stickers/decals, perferibly with prodcts not even installed on your car, hell throw in a "TypeR" badge just for fun.

Cool, thanks man. I'll have to put that on my TO-BUY-LIST. It's way too long already, ugh.
Yea gf's car is a Nissan Cube so I have no comment on the Yaris. I feel like I have to hide my face when riding in it..
But she loves it so it's whatever.

meh. People would only buy a Yaris if they just need something to get from point A to point B cheaply. That means they don't really care about the passion of driving. And if you don't care about driving, you will most likely drive carelessly, putting those of us who do care and our precious cars in danger. Most "fender benders" are caused by people not paying attention, IE being careless. Therefore, all who arrive at the dealership to purchase a Yaris should have their drivers license revoked and be forced to use public transportation.
Anyway, whats the plans for saturday? I'm down for hanging out and talking to some fellow car fans, since some of you guys don't like the sonic crowd may I sudjust someplace that sells beer? They seem to keep the ricer bois at bay.

Please do the track thing! It is the corvette club we are racing with, but at least two people I know are going, maybe three, but no Rx-8s except me so far. Its me, a 500hp evo, and a fit, POSSIBLY a EG-6
