Something stronger for sure. Not sure what route he's going yet.

[chuyler1]

Reverse is now considered a speed.

We need one of these

So, I find it funny that one second I'll check the forum and there's nothing new, then 5 minutes later most the new posts are updated, and I can't keep up.

btw, working from home FTMFW. And I have a show in a week...AHHHHH!

Thanks you for the post.

Sup ppl, just installed Braille 17lb battery ... thing works better then stock battery at its peak.

More upgrades on the pipeline this coming weeks ... got to do them before winter hits.

BTW, need a second opinion especially from folks up north on winter tire , I would like to use 215x50x17 since usually winter tires are a bit smaller than summer tires.
So fare I have in mind Continetal ExtremeWinterContact & General Altimax Arctic .

Let me hear what you guys have to say but my budged would be up to ~$140/tire .

They were offering 4.9% but you had to stick with them for 2 months. DCU pre-approved us for 1.99%. when we called to see if we could still get that rate in 2 months they said it wasnt guaranteed to be available and we'd be looking at the 2nd chance car loan rates which are higher anyway...but they offered to give us a $100 gas card to finance with them.... So we got $100 off instead of $500 but a rate that would save us $1000 over the length of the loan. Good deal!

Nice. There was no better rate at that time for us so we went with Ford. Let me know your thoughts on the Focus once you lived with it for a few weeks.

[Astral]

All y'all, I'm gonna try to check this thread more regularly, been way busy with stuff, modding the Subie and autocrossing the Miata and running an assload and lots of other little life things.

 

[bazooka joe]

What's happening folks?

Another kinda grouchy day for me. I seriously need to get out of this house that I'm living in. Can't stand it anymore.

 

[bazooka joe]

so where will i sleep if you get out of the house before sept 15th? seriously, whats wrong with the house?

 

[THE Phen]

Haha, I won't be leaving any time soon, so don't worry about that.

The house is physically fine. I'm just living in an uncomfortable environment (for me). Essentially, I'm living with two couples. Some of it may be me being resistant to change, or just not liking the idea of having roommates. Regardless... time to move on, I think.

In a nut shell:
Move in, live there for a year
Get shipped off to China for 4 months
Come home, and everything is different. The vibe around the house is such that I never came home. I don't like it. It's actually killed my love of working on cars.

i miss josh's good mornings....

Morning!

 

[Fireglow6]

Howdy ho. Looking forward to dinner Friday night. Amanda's gonna come so we'll take the new Focus. She hasn't let me drive it yet

Amanda's getting the mid-summer itch. Now that all her projects are done, she's looking for things to keep busy. She's taking me to swing dancing lessons tonight and then on Thursday we're going to an indoor rock climbing place. Also scheduled doggy obedience classes for Sprocket. He's very well behaved but he doesn't understand "stay" or "come". When I work from home, he follows me to the bathroom every time I get up. I need him to know its ok to sleep while I leave the room for a few minutes. They don't call them velcro dogs for nuthin.
