If you have never had a dog, your life is about to change. Very much like having a baby. (It is often best if you share the feeding task when they are young.)
Congratulations.

Congratulations.
The last couple years is the only time we haven't had a dog. I've had shepherd's too. I am aware of the time it takes to have a great obedient dog. All my other shepherds could self feed. I'm hoping she will be the same, but you never know.

Got back from Japan the other day, and today’s my first day at the new job. Going to feel like the new kid at school again. Bit nervous but as the millennials say, let’s get that bread.

My god the vender section is a wasteland of locked threads with zero in them but the inactive notice. I was going to support an official vender if I decided to change out my exhaust (I don't remember what stock even sounds like) but it doesn't look like there are any left.

CSG is pretty good. Have never had an issue with them though their communication is a little slow unless you PM them on the forums.

Ya they are one of the very few left. Never realized how few there were now until I went shopping. Didn't even think of them for exhausts really.

I would recommend ft86motorsports, but first of all, don’t think they’re a vendor here anymore. Second, the guy who owns it and his underlings have a pretty storied past of being condescending assholes.

I don’t like them much for a few different reasons. Sadly going into detail would sound too much like airing dirty laundry. The only thing I will explain is that the most recent reason for not liking them is that I bought a brand new part from Mike (not direct through CSG but I think he sold it as a proxy since he’s usually acting as a proxy for them) and was later given the run around by a shop saying the part was used, even though Mike had originally confirmed when I paid him that it was new. Mike and said shop have business relations sooo, it left a bad taste.

That sucks to hear. I don’t always care for their opinion, but opinions are opinions so I leave it alone. I freaking love their brake brake pads though.

BTW how was your trip?
