So i had that thread a while back about looking a forester xt's. Ended up with a 2005 subaru FXT premium with a 5MT from Nebraska. It has just about every option on it except a short shift throw. But it does have the STI foot pedals! It's got a less-than-smooth idle but other than that it's mechanically sound. Ill clean up the throttle body & replace some spark plugs to try & correct that. Head gasket has already been replaced. No nickle and dime leaks either. CV boots, struts etc. all looks to be in good condition Cosmetically there are issues...front bumper cover needs replaced d/t a DIY bondo job & window tint needs removed and redone all around. I haven't owed a black car since my wrx (no real imperfections to speak of with the wrx) but jesus, every single scratch, chip or spec of dirt jumps right out at you! That might be a winter detailing job. Before buying this I had never driven a FXT & i'm pretty surprised with the 0-60. Obviously its basically a wrx with a bigger body... It feels as quick as my wrx before all the stage 1 stuff got put on. I dont know why i didnt expect it to perform similarly but it sure as shit does. That being said after 60 is where you really feel the difference. Rolling on at highway speeds is pathetic. Overall i'm happy with it. It's a fun little all around DD that'll will stay stock until the clutch goes. Even then ill keep it moderate We'll see about freeing up the exhaust, up & down pipe with a flash. Are people still running external BOVs? Stockers are good for about 20 psi if I remember correctly?e Either way seeing as i'm in subaru mecca there are probably a metric fuck ton of used performance parts for this engine, that'll be a nice change to keep cost down. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/snowdoc83/707_zpsnp8ach5y.jpeg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/snowdoc83/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-09-11%2014.06.36_zpss0mbadpb.jpg

Im listening to mike & mike this morning and of course theyre talking about ray rice. So right in the middle of a conversation they break into the 1800 flowers on air ad and seamlessly transition from domestic violence to sending flowers to someone "just because".

Also, in related news.

Homeboy is indefinitely banned from the NFL.

I had Zach Stacy too & Ben Tate who was out by the 1st half of the game. Major RB problems with a significant retooling ahead starting with snatching up Knowshon Moreno, Mark Ingram & Justin Forsett. The worst part of it all, I've got Matt Ryan who set a PR & falcon's record on Sunday. I got 31 points off him alone, but everyone else shit the bed. Dez Bryant was terrible thanks to Romo, & STL's D got absolutely throttled by MN (giving me straight up ZERO points). Demaryius THomas only got 48 yds & for salt in the wound the guy I was playing had Julius Thomas who absolutely blew up!

I had ray rice & wes welker. With the ravens current anemic RB spot i picked up rice anticipating his return. Reflecting the current situation I just changed my team name from "Meth Welkers" to the "ray rice boxing club". the struggle is real

Sorry bout that, I'll do better next time coach. Side note, i lined up next to a GTR today in the lesbaru forester xt just for giggles. OF course i got throttled but man, I never get tired to watching those things move out from a dig.

...for the GTR

Other things to look out for is a cracked or rattling exhaust manifold upon start up.despite having multiple redesigns they're still shit. If recommend aftermarket headers or NAPA midgrade for replacement. It's a pretty shitty job to replace them...12hrs of labor. But if you have the frame recall the cost to replace is significantly reduced since everything will be off the vehicle anyways. And of course water pump & timing belt.

They explained it to me as an incorrect ratio of metals that went into making the frame allows it to rust prematurely. Thats why its a recall. The inspection takes all of 20 minutes & then youll know if you get the undercoating or a new frame.

Ebay dude just unloaded a hacked up rust bucket and someone paid him for it...unless theres legal precedent I would assume it's a done deal. I'm sure a crack team of lawyers from the law offices of C & R will offer up their advice shortly.

Fuck. that. noise.

I picked up a used sequoia that ended up getting a complete frame replacement(connections, brake lines etc) on Toyota's dime for a 10 year old vehicle. Now it rides like new. There is also a ball joint recall as well. Take it into any toyota dealership or call them with the VIN & ask for the vehicle service history. They'll tell you if it's been inspected for said recalls or not.

Congrats, that's a huge amount! Do you notice a difference in how you feel? also, this

I was looking at the Ridgeline but then I found out it was essentially a Honda Odyssey chassis. That being said my buddy also loves his & only recently sold it for something more fuel efficient. What're your requirements? Price, color, millage, year, must have equipment/models? How far are you willing to travel?

That GT3 gives me a funny feeling in my pants

Aaand I dont know how I managed to post this in the garage sale section soberly...mods plz move.

Since moving out to Colorado I decided there is no excuse for me not to either watch & or attempt to participate in one of the amateur classes of the Pike Peak Hill Climb. In doing so I came across some pretty crazy videos.

Gearing up for a little "JO on rails"?

I'd be more surprised you went to a game & they scored a touchdown.

Traditional Brazilian black beans use the bacon grease left over from the morning breakfast..ill just fry 4-5 pieces of bacon in the pan I'm doing the beans in and incorporate the bacon crumbles when everything is added. I skip the entire 1st paragraph since my beans come soaking in cans. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/snowdoc83/Mobile%20Uploads/20140828_203851_zpssodfh6bx.jpg

Pork shoulders are easy. Anything innately low in fat (chicken) is going to be harder. Pork shoulders are cheap, have plenty of fat & turn out extremely juicy & flavorful. Besides, the last thing you want to do is start off with something difficult, fuck it up & get a bad taste in your mouth for smoking. I'm doing one this saturday with brazilian black beans & smoked goat cheese.

PM'ed about the gopro.

the buster

Liquid smoke in the over? What the shit is wrong with you? here. this is what you need & you can keep the creeper porcelain dolls http://columbus.craigslist.org/for/4627203593.html
