  1. Adding more flame to the fire, my wife is an apt. manager that accepts section 8. One of the more recent outrages i heard from her is about an somalian couple that lives at her apt. complex. They are on section 8, rent free, all they pay is water, rest of utilities are all covered. The wife has a job making around 70k and the husband owns a business.

     

    They get to stay on section 8 because they do not have to report their income. They were reported to the section 8 bureau and nothing is done, section 8 acted like so, what do you want us to do about it. Pisses me off to no end.

     

    They only reason my wife learned of this, one of the somalians coworkers came into her office to apply for apt. The potential renter wanted my wife to report them. My wife refused, so the lady called section 8 herself.

  2. sorry i meant the crank journals, i guess they switch to some new type of metal that was total shit. They switch back in 09 after all the problems. Yes, alot of subarus have ringland problems but that is mostly due to improper tunes and the factory tune is horrible.
  3. When I was in Dayton and we got that 24" or whatever dumped on us, I was in the WalMart lot doing donuts like crazy in my my old Ford Bronco II when I saw the red/blue's flashing and a spotlight hitting me. I stopped to see an officer waving the angry finger and motioning for me to "get over here". I thought, great.......

     

    I drove over there and saw two cruisers parked door to door like they were BS'ing and one of the officers was out approaching me. I stopped and and the conversation went like this:

    Officer #1 - "Having fun over there?"

    Me - "Yup, just messing around. Didn't think it would be a big deal in this large empty lot with nothing around."

    Officer #1 - "Well, you really shouldn't be doing that. I could write you a ticket ya know."

    Me - "Sorry sir, if you let me go, you'll not see me around doing anything similar again."

     

    At this time Officer #2 approaches my truck somewhat swiftly and I get a little nervous.

    Officer #2 - "Can you just pull us the hell out of here already, we're STUCK! Don't let him scare you!!"

    Me - "No problem sir, I got a tow strap in the back. It's already hooked to my hitch as i've been pulling people out since this started."

     

    I hop out, wrap my tow strap around the bull bar on #2's cruiser and drag him across the lot, out to the main street where it's somewhat clear and unhook him. He thanks me and heads off. I return and repeat the process for #1 but when we hit the clearing he hops out before I can and he hands me a piece of paper. I think SHIT! STILL A FUCKING TICKET! He smirks as he drives away....

     

    I hop in my truck and look, it was a blank sheet of paper with "Keep your nose clean Mr. Gill" written on it with my address and his card. Turns out, he was my neighbor a street or so back and he knew who I was already. He stopped by a few days after and we talked for a bit, he let me know where he lived and overall seemed to be a great guy.

     

    Awesome, love these kind of stories, always make me smile.

  4. Mine leaks oil, but no, doesn't burn. We're hoping to make it to 200k before we need to do the gaskets. I'm at 145k.. At 100 we did timing belt, water pump brakes, tires.. But it was new to us then, since then the only thing done is suspension and radiator/thermostat. and regular maintenance.

     

    We know my car was taken care of till its last 10k before we bought it. The last 10k is suspect..

     

    I digrese...

    Are you talking about the xt, can't believe you racked up that many miles on her already?
