even though it's cool as hell i wish i was there....

 

cool is not the right word to use fro this time of year lol.

its so cold it made my smiley turn blue

 

We're in the middle of a heat wave today. It made it all the way up to 31F today.

 

haha yea that's what i ment cold. it's just so nice here i get confused

 

Supposed to stay warm for a while now too. Then probably snow like crazy again.



As long as it stays warm and clear enough to trailer the 7 home from Flint I will be A-OK.

 

Just wanted to wish everyone a VERY Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year, before you all disappear off on Holiday!

 

hey all im moving down south real soon ( jan 16th ) and i wanted to know if any one wanted to trade a set of stock rims with snow tires on them for a set of stock rims with summer tires on them. that or willing to pay for the tires to get swapped or at least half the amount to swap your summer tires for my winter ones

 

Happy Birthday nmarz77



A Christmas Birthday

 

I went and looked at a 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Limited, it had a Prodrive Exhaust, a very short throw shifter + Momo **** and a K&N Intake kit thing. It has 17K miles and was at a dealer.

It did drive around fine, no noticeable annoyances or obvious racing going on except that the shifter was very notchy. Tires looked like a good amount of life left.

What are the chances the PO raced it around?

 

so i was thinking since new orleans doesnt have an 8 club down by them ill have to start one on up. and what i was thinking is branching evolv down there. kinda like a sister club how do you guys feel about that

 

I'll trade with you. I,m in Florida right now and I' m not ready to go back.

 

what part in FL??

 

I'm resting in West Palm Beach / Palm Beach Gardens until the second. How's the weather? too lazy to check.

 

great better than chi-town

 

Had my car towed this AM to the dealer...wouldn't start today - tried all the regular simple de-flooding tips, jumped the battery - nada. I know all the next steps of removing the plugs, etc., but simply don't have the time (or the right tools) - hopefully it'll be resolved with removal/drying of the plugs. (which would be $90 in labor only) I think my battery is still good - the only variable is condition of the plugs...if this had only happened last week when I could have spent the time to try it myself...what's frustrating is I have religiously waited for engine to hit operating temp over the past 3 years of ownership, and the last time it was driven (Xmas eve) I had it out for 35 minutes, and it had been at regular temps for 25 minutes at least, plus I rev'd to 4.5k before shutdown...

 

What dealer did you get it towed to? do you still have Warranty on it?.. should call me next time something like this happens.. I could probley have it running in an hour

 

Hey Nick - it's at Anderson - I know the service manager over there - I didn't think to call you - just one of those things with this short week, I knew I HAD to get this resolved quickly...hopefully it won't cost me too much - he estimated around $90 for labor...we'll see...

 

Bill is a good guy over there. hopefully it will be a quick easy fix that wont cost a lot. feel free to give me a call when something like this happens again.. Well time to take the RX8 out for its first drive all winter since there isnt snow on the ground.

 

You know, it's one of those things, I really wish I had more experience working on cars - I'm sure many people (my brother-in-law for example - out of state, tho) could take care of this sort of thing easily, but for me, it'd be a much bigger deal...I just don't have much experience with this sort of thing...The thing that sucks is I still have to buy summer tires sometime soon (before spring) and this is just a bit of a punch in the stomach I wasn't planning on...I will try and give you a call next time (hopefully there won't be one)

 

Anybody have any cool plans for New Years? Im heading up to Peoria for a fiesta with my cousin and some friends

I most likely will not remember the last evening of 2008

 

yeah i know what your talking about. I learned most of my stuff just by working on my own car and friends cars. If you find any good deals on summer tires let me know. I have to buy some also.

 

i was on craigslist and there was a set of 18 inch brande new and the price was right

 

Happy Birthday BlueRenesis82
