  1. What happened to your tail lights?
  2. What the fuck are you into that makes you think the government is going to perform some sort of EM search over the entirety of the US looking for some underground shelter?
  3. Pulling the motor and replacing the seals usually works for me...
  4. Yep, time for a catch can. Replace your PCV valve while you're at it. Most turbo cars will have a little bit of oil in the intake tract/intercooler when you take them apart, it's nothing to be overly concerned about unless there's a lot of oil in there.
  5. The MSP was a great chassis with a terrible engine. The FSDE was never designed to be turbocharged, and the mazdaspeed cars just had a factory installed callaway bolt-on turbo kit. The stock rods are done at 200hp, the head sucks, stock tuning has giant peaks and valleys, I could go on... The new VW 2.0t is an awesome motor. 200hp stock, 80 more HP is just a flash away. Give the DSG trans a chance, but drive it in manual mode. The auto program is awful. Don't get a model (Passat, base Jetta) without paddle shifters. I good downpipe and intake helps with the power drop at 5k rpm.
  6. I loved my P5, but it was starting to rust at 80k miles. It was only minor stuff in the rear fenderwells but it pissed me off enough I got rid of the car. $6k should buy a nice one. Worst gas mileage I ever got was 27, that tank had two autocrosses on it lolz.
  7. I'll also recommend meguiars endurance. I apply it with a rag and let the car sit overnight so it doesn't fling off. I scrub the crap out of my tires with every wash and re-apply, keeps it from getting that gunky look. I use a good stiff brush just for tires, this stuff tends to ruin soft wheel brushes.
  8. This is why "keyed" lugnuts are the stupidest thing ever. Anyone out stealing wheels has a lock removal set with them. The only one that couldn't get the wheels off was you, on the side of the road, trying to change a flat. My lock removal set has paid for itself 100x over. About 1 of 10 people I see loose, forgot to bring, or didn't even know they had a wheel lock key. It's even funnier when I have no problem getting them off and they ask "well what the hell do these things even do?" and I get to say "Make your new set of tires/brakes/whatever about $75 more expensive lolz".
  9. That gas mileage will be handy next time I need to rent a car...
  10. Just poke through one of the existing grommets with a screwdriver and run the wire through.
  11. If there is a hell, it'll be a place where you go to awesome racetracks to park your car and walk around. It doesn't help that I think show cars are the stupidest fucking thing ever.
  12. So, if the value is going nowhere but up (to six figures in the next ten years no less!), why wouldn't this dealer keep such a fool proof investment? What was that thing new, $10-12k or so?
  13. A friend had his explorer beater broken into there. They took the $50 walmart CD player and destroyed his driver door and dash. They left the $3,000 GPS (it's some super accurate thing for marking trees or something, it's huge) and his laptop in the truck lolz.
