Tim,

That’s a great story. If you have their information, maybe send a thank you note to their captain. I’m sure some positive praise would be a welcome change.

Very much this. My brother-in-law works at one of their posts and when they get a positive note from someone, it's HUGE for these people.

You are right, something like this does seem like a decent deal....They are going for about the same used

Do this one since you've got your kids. Those double cabs don't really have the leg room in the back.

A thread from nearly a decade ago, but it might still make for fun reading and perhaps help us all keep perspective:

My FIL and I were talking about this just last night. He was a teenager when this happened. Talk about a terrifying event.

Said I joined back in 2005, but I think I was here before that under a different name.

Anyway,

1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT V6

1995 Acura Integra SE Coupe

2005 Mazda 3s

2014 Ford Focus ST

I thought car designers were going to start moving away from the giant audi like grill. Leave it to Ford to be about 20 years late

Probably need the big opening to get the cooling it needs for the intercooler and brakes.

It looks WAY better than the God awful Lexus "I left my grill in the microwave to long" design scheme. Functional or not, you know you fucked up when your grill looks like a 7th grade student just discovered the "Warp" filter in Photoshop. SMH

 

LOL

I've used Dr. Terry Irwin at Knightsbridge Internal Medicine for years (behind Microcenter, near Bethel and Olentangy River Road). He's been a great doctor. I look forward to my checkups every 6 months, not afraid to ask him tough questions.

 

The practice was just absorbed into Central Ohio Primary Care, but from what I've seen it means great new (additional) staff, new equipment, and a different online invoicing platform. Service is still good.

No shit, he's been mine for 10 years now too. He is awesome. He's got that great "bedside manner" that younger doctors don't have.

I could keep the Tundra and get something cheaper. I have always bought older cheaper vehicles. Just wanted to get something almost new for once. I have one grade school kid.

Do it.

Sean,

 

treat yourself. If you want a new or newer car with the stuff you want and you're financially stable, GO FOR IT

 

The rest who moans about it being a Camry, automatic, or whatever else, don't worry about them.

 

I treated myself to a nice-ass Durango even though a 4 cylinder car would do the exact same thing for cheaper and better mpg.

100% this.

Sony or LG. Preference to Sony for color spectrum and reliability. LG is the better of the Korean Brands but Sony still leads the way for accuracy and width of colors. They are pricey but there's a reason.

This. My family only has Sony TVs. I've got a 10 year old 40" that still looks great. Hell, I'd still have my old 27" Vega tube TV if I had room! My dad's got a massive 60" HD tube that's 15 years in his basement that still works well and my brother got a 55" 4k earlier this year that looks crystal clear. I can get the model number from him if you want to look into it yourself.

Just a quick update: I talked to Tiffany, she said they would not pay for it, it's something I'd have to cover.

I just PMed you.

ST: Full 75k maintenance and a seats-out detail. Make it to some auto-x events. Also planning on running the Triple Nickel this summer with a few friends.

It will be time to get the wife into a newer SUV too.

It was a Accord sport for 14,800. To bad it’s not a touring V6 with the reg 6 speed auto.

What year? If it's a 2013 to a first run 2014, they'll fit. Anything built after 3/2014 will need to run 17s because of the bigger brake rotors.

fit a focus?

What Focus?

Will do. Should I also mention you?

Yeah, you can tell her I told you to give her a call to see if she can help you.

Great, thanks!

No problem. She should be able to help you. Make sure you mention which TSB as well.

My uncle retired from Chevy making 54$/hr.+ full Medical+full pension. He would often joke that he would fall asleep on the job, and his job was turing 6 bolts on a v6 water pumps (with a preset pneumatic torque wrench). I love him to death, but any trained Monkey would have been happy doing his job for 17.50/hr and half the benefits.

 

The UAW is maybe the single largest reason it's difficult fr US Automakers to compete globally

 

 

I wonder what the CEO's pay cut will be?

So in short none of this surprises me. What I find annoying is the UAW and the press shaming GM. People don’t buy these products and GM has to make changes to keep from going bankrupt again, if you don’t like it run out and buy some cars. The UAW is is going to kill GM, and the media is on board because it’s a god damned union. This is all going to be a political mess until they come up with something else to bitch about.

1,000,000% this.

I meet all of my friends on this website called ColumbusRacing.com

:lolguy:

 

 

Me too....

Hey, outside of college, the majority of my friends came from sites like this one and the vehicle-specific forums I used to spend everyday on.

This was my brother about 5 years ago. Moved back home after living in NYC for a decade. All of his friends had moved away so he really didn't have anyone except a few childhood friends. One of them got him into guns and from there, he's gone to shows, gun ranges, online forums and has built himself a small group of close friends from that one hobby.

Lol, you must be mistaken this one for my 500SEL

The poorer folk still conducted their "business" in their lesser Mercs as well.
