Fiji ST

Driving home down Dublin Road last night, a passing MDX flashed their lights at me. I slowed down as there is usually deer around the area. Not 10 seconds later, a Shawnee Hills cruiser passed by. I thanked that driver in the Acura and will certainly pay it forward.

Just stop in and I'll do my best.

I lived there as well for over a year and really enjoyed it. Loved the attached garage and fireplace. Try to get one on the western part of the property off of W. Case.

Awesome. Let me know. If you want to call/text me when you're home, I should be able to swing by.

You can have them. And thanks again for the plates Tom. If you can, text me a photo of a few of them if you can.

Party plate?

I see you running around in this thing all the time on 23 and 42. Always wondered who drove it. Nothing else to add. Good luck. Won't last long at that price.

Awesome, thank you. When and where?

I don't need that many. maybe another 10 will be enough for what I want to do. Didn't think of that. Remember which stores?

I'm looking for some out-of-state license plates that they would like to get rid of and are in decent shape. I've already got PA, Ohio, California and Colorado. Let me know what you have. I'm trying to make a big collage of them to hang in my basement. Thanks.

Congrats Derek. You definitely deserve that award.

X-Plan is still a good chunk off of MSRP, and you get all rebates that you qualify for.

Your best bet out of most of those are either the Focus or the 3. They're the best looking and most fun to drive in this class by far. The Cruze is decent, but I found the 1.4t slow and overburden by the weight and got nowhere near the MPGs the Mazda or Ford got. Everything else is basically a MayTag on wheels. They will all lease within a few dollars of each other, but with the amount of driving you're going to be doing, I'd probably purchase as a purchase payment won't be much different from a high-mileage lease. You'll own it at the end if you keep it and you won't have to worry about turning it with any possible damage or being over miles.

I ran Dunlop Wintersports on my old Mazda and I run General Artimaxs on the ST. I would rather spend the extra money on a set of winter wheels and tires for the security and stability they offer than risk having an accident. Plus driving 40+ miles a day on roads that never get plowed, they have really paid off.

Shovel.

Ford F-350 Dually Platinum or a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

I'm surprised to hear that Germain is getting involved. The other two don't surprise me in the least.

I don't know what's worse; him being a disgusting sociopath, or the mothers of those kids actively participating and allowing this type of behavior to happen to their babies?

You know how I know you're gay? You quote movies incorrectly. I think the EcoBoost is going to be the best of both worlds once the aftermarket works it's magic.

Love it! Can't wait for them to start arriving next year. That 2.3 is going to be the one to get I think.

I went out last year for the first time and I'll never do it again. I know a couple people that do it every year and their cars have been broken into multiple years. The only thing I want is a new TV and I can shop from home to do that.

I lived there for over a year and never had any theft issues. I'm guessing you lived closer to Sawmill?

I had good success with Centric rotors and Hawk HPS pads. I went with the premium ones though. They lasted about 4 years and 60k before they needed to be machined. Held up to my heavy foot and a handful of autocross events. Cost-wise, I got the rotors from IPS for $200 ( doubt they're offering that price again) and $130 for the pads from a Mazda aftermarket supplier.

Damn that looks mean.

I loved my hockey puck F1s this morning.
