    • Clark W. Griswold in 2022

      Saw this bad boy at Mat's Rods and Restoration on my way into work this morning. He's basically a hot rod type of shop, but this...I want badly. Even has Grandma on the roof!

    • Mileage milestone

      Hit 222,222 miles today on my 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R sedan. Disregard the ever present tire pressure sensor. No pic of the car because it's filthy.

      @italia said in I don't FP anymore, but G/O media is up to it's old tricks again...:

      Also my employer doesn't know I'm in Italy

      Really buried the lede here. That's freaking amazing!

    • First time buying used tires

      My 05 Outback has over 243K miles on it and yesterday I got an unrepairable flat on tires that are sorta nearing end of life. The least expesive set Discount Tire had in stock was made by Sentury (?!) for $85 each. With all the other fees, I'd be out the door at $425.
      Nope. Went to a local used tire store and got a set of Firestone Firehawks with ~60% tread left for $215. I even commented to the dude as he used a torque wrench to finalize the lugnuts that I wish more people used that rather than ugga-dugga the things on there. He said it's faster than replacing a broken wheel stud - he's got a good point there.

      Anyway, the owner has a thing for Ford Probes; I count 9 (unless the one without a front end is one too)

      Anybody here regularly buy used tires? Or perhaps have a Ford Probe fetish?

    • RE: 1998 Corolla vs 2015 Corolla

      I post this pic whenever this comes up; my rental Chevy Cruze after being in an almost head-on crash from a drunk driver, doing about 45mph. I walked away without a scratch. I was sore for a few days but otherwise fine. Look at that A-pillar!

    • RE: Subaru error code

      @orneryduck I should have noted that I did disconnect the battery for 30-45 minutes, reconnect it, then put the key in and go to ACC for 30 seconds before trying to start again. No shirt, no shoes, NO DICE

      @bbg2d Haven't tried that because it's not throwing a CEL. Will a code reader even recognize that shit has gone sideways?

      @Dr-Zoidberg No, I'll add that to the list of things to check.

    • RE: Subaru error code

      @Peter_Black I bought it with ~110K miles. Unless the plugs were changed before I got it, they're the original plugs. Cylinders 5 and 6 are up against the firewall, supposed to remove motor mounts and drop the engine a few inches to change them, so it's north of $400 to get them changed. Flat engines are weird.

    • Subaru error code

      So my 2005 Outback 3.0R threw this error on me yesterday:
      subie_error.jpg
      Still drove fine for a while and I made it home, but then wouldn't start again. Strangely, all gauges stopped working (this pic was taken while driving ~25 mph) but no check engine light. Full tank of gas and I have no clue about the top part which is usually an open door or trunk.
      Google search says possible battery, so I remove and take to O'Reilly. Test says battery has a bad post. Cool, new battery ($117 - WTF!?!?!?) and same shit. Will turn over, but not stay running.
      The car is only 17 years old with 253K miles, WTF? Help me Oppo!

      @Ad-absurdum-per-aspera I've been getting deep into Warren Zevon's catalog lately. That dude absolutely ROCKED! And was weird as all hell. Good stuff.

    • RE: Utah Oppos, suggestions please

      Rumor has it there are a bunch of churches in UT. Oh, and tell your friend to bring any, uh, accoutrements, that he/she may want. It's easier to buy weed in CO than it is to buy alcohol in UT. Dumbass state run liquor stores that close on Sundays and made-up holidays (Pioneer Day)
