Yes, they do. :) Originally, it was an Executive version, that had the Mugen parts added here in NL. It's the only one in NL too. Furthermore, it's loaded with options. :)

Last week, my wife went to the dealership for maintenance on her current CR-V (same model, not Mugen), and this is what she came home with. :lol:

Looks like GT is good for something other than playing..... :D I knew I saw a Mugen badge, just couldnt make it out on the pic... Didnt know the CR-V looked so good nowadays...
 
That's actually a pretty cool baby wagon especially as it's a Mugen.

Hmmm...Renault Espace R26R?
 
I got this, a K&N Air Filters flag. It was super cheap. 50 cents at O'Reilly Auto Parts:

Problem is, I don't know where to hang it. The flag is '6x'4, and I don't have any room on my walls. I'm thinking about hanging it on my ceiling above my bed. I also got a pair of "racing" seat covers. They would look right at home in a riced out Prelude, but they were 25 cents a piece, so too good to pass up.
 
Eric.
Funny, I paid just over half that for Dunlop Star Specs, which have only a 20 lower UTGQ and are a whole class better. And they're about the only tire used by the top SCCA guys.

yeah funny, as i didn't say how much they costed me. ;P
+ the tires you stated don't exist in europe.
And tires is a taste choice. I know my pneus and changing on different tires need time to accommodate with those.
a lot of my friends like their goodyear eagle f1. I hate them...
but great choice too with yours


Damn your taco looks tasty. Envy that here we don't have them
 
Well they should be open this early anyway. It's funny that we have a Chipotle and Moe's right in my area and I still end up going to taco bell more than either combined despite the inferior food.
 
Carrot sticks with a honey lime dijon vinaigrette. It's what's for breakfast when you're out of food for the week. :lol:

I'm in a similar situation. when I have no food in the house, I want to go out to eat. I think of places that clearly have better food, but at twice or thrice the price. so I go to taco bell, because it tastes damn good and is super cheap.

Anyways, here is my next purchase (picking them up next week)

Nice wheels, Event. 👍

now I just need to decide if I want to do all-seasons and save a bunch of money, or do things properly and wrap these in summers 👍

After waiting two weeks for GameFly to send me it, I decided to just purchase it and cancel my GameFly subscription.

I bought it at Newegg. Why not from GameFly? Well, even though I had their service for over a year, they felt compelled to charge me full price ($59.99) when Newegg didn't ($56.99). Also, GF wanted shipping ($5.99) and Newegg didn't ($0.00). Nice company, GameFly. You can see why it wasn't a hard decision to cancel them.

However, Newegg was far from being nice, too. I ordered two items, RDR and a tube of thermal paste (I plan to fix an internet friend's PS3). Both items had *Free Shipping! listed. However, Newegg charged me $5.99 for 'free shipping' for the thermal paste and tried to sneak it in after I made my purchase. Assholes. Both items were treated as separate orders, for some stupid reason. I felt like cancelling both items! However, cooler heads prevailed and went through with the RDR game, but I cancelled the thermal paste.
 
I have ordered my new bike. It should arrive tommorow.
Its a gt tempest 2.0

The picture doesn't do the bike justice. I'm getting the black and green one. It looks evil and awsome. I love it. :)

You're in California.

That's most likely where the $5.99 came from - tax, I'm not saying it is...but it's logical on my behalf based on what you've presented. :p

Newegg is far from being a site who screws people, believe me.

No, it wasn't tax. It was shipping. Tax is not a problem, since it was only $.78. The grand total for a $9.99 tube of Artic Silver 5 was $17!

Oh, and Newegg screwed me on another order, too. It said I could return the item for full refund, then when I tried it, they said no. Only replacement. Bastards.

Only .78 cents!?

As for the text in bold, I think that's valid for 30 days...after which you can only go the RMA route, or something like that. :dunce:

I've never had a problem with them, only UPS...because they'll sit on a package (that's at the destination mind you) until the scheduled delivery date. Bastards.
 
Ok, couldn't stand my Hann-G for any kind of graphics design any longer. For the life of me, I could not get the colors, contrast, or gamma right on it so I order a Samsung P2770H with the following specs:

blah, blah, and blah. Not my first choice, but there were some limitations unless I went with a 24" monitor. Then I would have to go dual. For the money, it was the best bang for the buck in the larger format for what I'm looking for.

Just bought some much needed new tennis shoes as a kind of end of exam/getting paid treat.

Very nice! Pako has one, too. Me, I'll stick with my Birdsong Hunter 629. ;)

What do you plan to hunt with it?
 
Why would Pako need a gun? Just punch the air, and the pressure wave's enough to kill a man at 50 paces.

Up next is a scope for it. :D

So the scope can smack you in the eye?

I'm kinda PO'd because Dell delayed my monitor until July 7th. So now I have a computer sitting idle that I spent all day building. They said they were in stock when I bought it too, so wtf. All I know is they'd better send me a brand new one and not someone else's RMA'd defect panel.

On that note, here is what Chuck the UPS Guy gave to me today:

Here's the thread.
