Here's my current one when i had it in my Mazda6.
Successfully superglued the tab back on to the Air Inlet Duct Cover for the cabin air filter that was already partially broken when I bought the car (used with 78k miles) a couple of weeks ago. In trying to replace the cabin air filter I fully broke the tab off :-(
Successfully glued the hinge back on to the sunglasses carrier of the overhead console. The plastics seem to get rather brittle when it is below freezing temperature and I've learnt not to not to try any investigating when it is getting dark and cold ;-(
Thumbs up for superglue though!

Nice. You're 6's leather looks to be in perfect shape too. So creamy...

Holy s*** you weren't kidding...Recaro really does make a child seat.
(thumb)...BAMF seat im actually not embarrassed to have in my cars.
YUP!
I don't have a kid, but when I do they are gonna ride in style in a Recaro or a Sparco F-700k:
Recaro even makes strollers and stuff.
Supposedly some people have even made BRIDE replica child car seats and sell them on Alibaba, but I defintely wouldn't trust one of them.
Well I'll be damned. That's what I get for going straight to Babies "R" Us for my car seat. Next mod on my list for sure.
I don't mean to hijack this thread into baby seats, lol, but take a look also at Safety 1st Air convertible seats at Amazon, the thing actually has airbags on the sides, not the type that explodes on impact, lol, just air filled cushions by the head supports. I was a first time dad, and like all dads thought the most expensive Recaro would be the best, it's good but my son found it uncomfortable and out grew it fast the straps were not long enough, the Safety 1st with airbags is much more supportive when the kids fall asleep on long trips, just my 2 cents.
heck yeah, Recaro knows how to make a good seat.

In keeping with this thread:
Last Friday I went to get plates/register the Nine. Wanted a special Colorado Plate, so I went with our "State Parks" one. Really like the different look with the aspen trees and color scheme, and I don't see a lot of them on the road. Went with the state issued random number/letters though, since I don't know what I would possibly personalize it with. Plate is "Print on Demand", so I'll get it in "one to two months" hahahahah! They are crazy fast with the registration renewal stuff, so I'm hopeful it will be sooner than that.
BTW, cost me whopping $740.53 to register the damn thing (face palm). Stupid tax on new car "original value". This was in addition to to the 7.62% sales tax when I bought it (hand)
Happy Monday Everyone!
740 to register it? That's horsecrap! Hopefully my 13 is a bit cheaper, looks like I'll be taking the whole 60 days. Ownership tax should be illegal!
My son is 5 years old, and still fits. My Recaro is rated and adjustable so he will be in the seat until he is old enough to seat without a seat. Sounds like you got one of the baby carriers, and not one of the convertibles like we have posted up.and out grew it so fast the straps were not long enough
Yup, they claimed 2.5% "ownership tax" off the value of the vehicle after the trade. So something like $33k got taxed by this. It'll depend on what you traded in to get the purchase price down, but for me, $570 is just this tax (not state bridge/road fees, or the one time slight fee for the pretty plates). But hey, I get to claim it next year on my taxes (hand)
I completely agree with you.... It really does feel like double-dipping, as if the $2500 bucks they already got isn't enough... And the bad part is this number will still be relatively high next year and will SLOWLY[/] go down... I'm really missing the $74 bucks it cost me to renew my 10 year old 6 last year
My 6 yr old STI is still 220. I don't know if the actual price you purchase it for comes into play in the "ownership tax". They tax it on what they think it's worth because when I got my STI there was a huge discount on it and the price they were basing this tax off was actually higher than what I paid. I just don't get how you can legally be taxed on something based on merely owning it! You just bought yours new correct? So the cummulative tax rate is 7.8% + 2.5% so 10.3%!!
The socket didn't want to come out of the housing, so I had to remove the overflow bottle to get a better grip on in.
