  1. It's funny you mention that. The early 90s is when the steel industry had made major leaps forward in galvanization processes and all automotive steel became double-galvanized which pretty much eliminated all major rust-prone surfaces, both on the outside and the inside of car bodies. EDIT: Double galvanization has been around since the mid 80s, yes, but the early 90s is when the truly high tech processes and materials were perfected, as I understand it.
  2. Just what the title says, Logitech f510 gaming controller for PC, USB wired. Hasnt been used since I've been using an Xbox wireless controller but I just plugged into my Windows 7 PC and it worked flawlessly. $20 picked up, willing to meet in Cbus area
  3. BRB putting an NSX body kit on a Fiero to trade him
  4. I don't get the feeling that he's ever hidden that from CR. Hiding it from John Law to avoid the legal ramifications of being a curbstoner, maybe, but I don't hold it against the guy if he wants to fix up beaters and sell them. Profit is not a dirty word.
  5. And anyone willing to trade their NSX for that FrankenPorsche needs their fucking head examined.
  6. In your area the bills shouldn't be that high. When I was growing up we had a 40k gallon pool in the backyard with an attached hot tub that was nice. not to mention the health benefits, there are few things that provide as exhausting a full-body workout with as little impact as swimming laps.
  7. Take into consideration the neighborhoods with these pools; are there lots of kids in the area? You'll want a high-ish fence (which may or may not look shitty). Insurance may be higher due to the liability. Pools need daily care. Shit will go wrong and when it does it'll be expensive.
  8. My context and analysis of the minutiae comes from the fact that I could easily spend $1k on shoes annually if I didn't take the time to properly research. Car sales is hell on shoes. But still a good point.
  9. Where in the flying fuck are you finding a used GTR for under $60k that doesn't require $20k worth of work? Cheapest modern one on Autotrader is over $50k with 70k miles.
  10. A few thoughts. 1) Always spend a little more on the things that separate you from the ground; your shoes, your mattress, and your tires. You will never regret these purchases. 2) Will you be walking around a lot? As a car salesman I blast through shoes like you wouldn't believe, and I agree with all the advice in this thread so far. No synthetics, leather sole only so it can be resoled easily. 3) Invest in a shoe cleaning/polish kit. Learn how to do it properly. Your shoes will reward you with many more years of use. 4) Invest in some good cedars/shoe trees. They will maintain the shape and therefore comfort, as well as helping to dry out your shoes after wearing them which will prolong their useful life. 5) Ecco shoes are durable and classy without breaking the bank. Sometimes I destroy/wear through shoes in irreparable ways so I don't like spending over $300 on something that may end up in the trash in a year. Bump your budget from $150 to $200 and you will thank yourself. 6) DO NOT BUY JOHNSON & MURPHY THEY ARE SHIT. I had a couple pairs a long time ago that were solid and lasted me a while, so a little while ago I went back in and got some more pairs that fell apart in a few months. Utter shit.
  11. Here's the thing; I think drones are super fucking cool. It's basically a big boy toy and a lot of people (probably a vast majority) will use them as hobbyists do, just cruising around, maybe making some videos. My boss wants one to make cool wakeboarding videos. I'm 100% fine with that. Then you have the nosy motherfuckers. The people who have to get their drone over wildfires to get sick footage and end up hampering rescue efforts, or people like this who have no qualms about flying one right into a neighbor's backyard. These people can't fathom that it's essentially the same as walking into their neighbors yard and just setting up a video camera, or flying an actual helicopter into their backyard. legally, it should be viewed as the same thing, but their thought is that the air is free space and "i ain't hurtin nobody." It's stupid to shoot at anything unless you've got tons of space around your property, that's just unsafe and poor gun ownership, but that doesn't excuse poor drone ownership. Really there's no good way to handle it. Both sides are at fault but IMO they need to come down hard on the drone operator. You have as much a right to swoop down low and video my home/property as you do to simply walk onto my property, which is fucking none.
  12. You mean Advanced Search > Search by User Name (Dover) + Find threads started by User > Search by Forum (The Oven)? Took me 3 seconds. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48809
  13. Just like the title says, 2013 infiniti G convertible owners manual. Basically new. Includes huge nav system manual as well. These go for $70-80 + shipping all day on eBay, locally picked up CR price $50.
  14. And that's for a car that has a legal, similar equivalent in the U.S. It's so much harder when you're importing something that has nothing similar here.
  15. I work Saturdays so I'll only be there Sunday. It's a blast though.
  16. True, I was mostly just mentioning in a vacuum. YGPM though :gabe:
  17. We didn't allow test drives on our Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Editions. Only 500 made for US market, handmade carbon fiber monocoque, exposed CF throughout. A deep scratch from a careless test driver could really hurt the value and could cost a lot more than just some buffing compound to fix.
  18. If it was a build date prior to July 1990 then it's legal to import.
  19. Check out importers on the west coast, specifically WA. They probably are better at finding well-cared-for Japanese examples. Almost guaranteed to have lower miles and less wear/tear than a Canadian example.
  20. :lolguy: To be fair they don't make a bad product. It's very nice to look at and to use. Has a lot of nice features, but yeah, not in my budget range.
  21. Show & display, or is it a car that's got a nearly identical USDM counterpart?
  22. Wait a year and get a Focus RS. I think it's gonna blow the STi out of the water.
