The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Haha, that just made my morning.

Have a cat allergy. Pretty much sums up the cat vs dog debate (for me). Trust me, it's bad.

 

[tweiss3]

I know what you mean. I can be around a cat a touch, but anything longer than a few hours and I'm down and out the entire next day.

 

[THE Phen]

My grandma has 3 cats. For holidays, I can last about 3 hours. I spend a lot of time out on the front porch (even in the winter) with my grandpa and a cigar.

I did get tires put on the rear of the FC yesterday. Dunlop Signature II's, which are warrantied to 65k miles. That should be 3 years approximately.

Unfortunately, they pointed out I have a ball joint up front that's loose (need to verify this weekend) and a wheel bearing starting to go (i just started hearing the noise Tuesday). Not excited to do either

 

[THE Phen]

I'm looking at tires right now. Going to buy a set for my 5Zigens on the 1st. Found a crazy good deal on these tires, so I'm going to have the wheels fixed up sooner than I had expected.

 

[tweiss3]

And as far as I can tell, nobody even lists a lower control arm. The ball joints aren't replaceable in the control arm, just for S5's. What the crap. I'm not shelling out 560 bucks to mazda or mazdatrix

Miata balljoints are like that... I had to buy the whole arm. Except now, 5 years later, the aftermarket finally came out with a replacement (V8Roadsters).

 

[tweiss3]

Were the miata control arms 560 bucks though?

I'm still trying to track down some aftermarket company that makes some. Unfortunately they are solid aluminum. The S4 has a ball joint that can unbolt and be replaced.

Speaking of V8s (kind of), I took this in on trade yesterday. Manual 2005 6.0-liter. Not a fan of most GMs, but it's a freaking blast!

 

[tweiss3]

I always like the 6.0 Manual GTO's, no matter that they were ugly. That would be one of very few GM's i would own.

i find that car quite ugly, however the performance you can get from that car (even in stock form) for the price you can buy them at, is still pretty damn impressive!!

 

[rally2003]

I don't think the GTO is ugly and would take a 6Litre any day. I would still love to have the 30th anniversary TA's with the WS6 package. They might not turn the greatest, but they still are a blast.

 

[ajkulish]

6.slow. 6.2s are where its at.

Wrong, 6.6L is where it is at

 

[bikingpro5]

6.slow. 6.2s are where its at.

you think you could have a bigger signature?

 

[THE Phen]

I was looking at GTO's before I bought the MSM. If insurance was a better price, I would have one of them now.

 

[WillD]

My uncle has a GTO, pretty sweet car.

 

[ajkulish]

i can try if youd like.
