3's hold their value too well haha, looking for an older car, probably sub 5000.

just out of curiosity....your mom doesnt happen to work at staples in putnam CT does she? we recently had a woman who ill remain nameless get into an accident and will be out for a while.....could just be a coincidence?

just got passed by a sick GT-R on 495 near lowell. I think 4x 5'' exhaust tips some wheels with a huge lip. Didn't want to try to take a picture because I was scared I'd crash into him.

Nope, she lives in Northern Worcester county and works in NH. Sucks like this happens way too often though.

She hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, one ProCuts employee said.

WTF, why are these people still driving? She is 83. She cannot be allowed anywhere near a car.

Ya seriously I was almost T-Boned in a parking lot by an old man one time. He went right through an intersection and I yelled at him that he almost hit me and watch out (in other words) and he told me off saying "I didn't have to stop!"
On the parking lot in big letters was written STOP

90% of the time when I hear of an elderly person causing an accident it's due to the, "pressing the gas and not the brake". If you think about how many "older" people are behind the wheel today it's kind of scary. It seems to me they can be totally competent drivers but at some point the wires in the brain are crossed. Who knows?

The other day I was going up a hill from a stop sign, 40mph road, and I was in first gear. Mind you winding it up to 8K to get to that speed which is totally legal, but a little loud. This old guy on the sidewalk says to me, "Slow down!" I guess he's never heard a rotary before.

I have a stripped lug ... I am off to go get a 6 pt socket. If that doesn't work... help?

hmmm the more points might not help? Maybe stop using air tools? haha. but really try one of those "Gator sockets", I hear thats what people can use to take off the locking lugs too.

It may help to tighten back the other lugs, to take off as much stress off the stripped lug as possible.

 

[NETC_Redd]

take a regular socket and a hammer and slam it on there.

and stop using an air compressor to put on lugs...use a torque wrench and check them weekly.
