I would be straight blown the gently caress away if they don't total it. Gray belts? I'll see what I can do  . There's a couple more things I need to grab that I forgot earlier.

Well technically mine are charcoal but I really don't care about the color at this point. I already have mismatched front and rear seats whats some extra color?

kastein posted:This is where I do my "just put new tires on" testing, at about 2AM when there is no traffic:  those ramps are the only redeeming thing about that entire junction, but everyone of them is incredible so long as you have nobody in front of you and the MA State Police aren't parked there as they often are. another favorite on the way to work is the 114 east to 128 north ramp in Peabody, its got a nice bank to it and plenty of space/no guardrails or anything obstructing vision. Unfortunately it's one of those onramps on the old section of 128 where more than 50% of other drivers will come to a stop at the end instead of using the ramp to enable you merge into traffic without any drama...that poo poo is absolutely infuriating especially if I'm in the Miata.  doesn't look like much but if you nail it right you'll feel like you just got slingshoted off an aircraft carrier.

So cold this morning, the frost is even sticking to the tires.  I didn't have the truck plugged in like an rear end in a top hat, -31*c cold start. I let off the first time because i thought it caught. i have the door open so you can hear the lovely ford power steering pump. you know the truck is warmed up when you can no longer hear it from inside the house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWDRTnkXwo4 Still the best $750 i've ever spent. edit:  scrappy little mutt. almost got stuck at the end of that road. it just clawed back up the hill at idle.

blk posted:The truck was $750? How much have you put in in parts? $599 on exterior bits. that's front/rear bumper, box, hood, and a fender. $399 into the interior, which includes complete sound deadening, a full stereo, and heated leather seats(which i still have to wire up) $488 in maintinence, All of the maintinence is just oil, shocks, brakes, and batteries. $650 in winter wheels/tires/spacers. so just under 3 grand into it so far. I can still part it out for way more than i've got into it. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3734747

Ladies and gentlemen, I've domesticated myself. Traded my Maxima for a 2011 Edge. We took a 1000 mile trip over the holidays with our baby, and there was basically zero space left inside the Max. Time for something bigger. It's a 2wd SEL trim with Entertainment, Leather, and towing packages. It also has lights in the footwells and cupholders:

Scat Pack club! I went with the TR6060 trans, but that ZF 8spd is certainly a gem. Separated at birth but twice the weight and nearly 4X the torque. My Neon ACRs can finally be retired from DD status.

OneOverZero posted:Shift feel on the '15+ TR6060s is excellent. I had the same trans in a '15 R/T (mourn ya til I join ya) and it's the same firm engagement that I somewhat remember. The clutch is very well-weighted and proportional, though my only gripe is that the gas/brake spacing is such that you can't heel-toe. Regardless, it was convincing enough to sway me away from the better fuel economy and quicker performance of the eight-speed auto. The clutch setup in my Viper is different, but the TR-6060 is the same box. It's not a Swiss rifle bolt like an R8 or anything like that, but I agree with you - it has a solid, positive engagement and it's easy to drive hard. I have found that the OEM fluid Chrysler uses isn't up to the task though. Royal Purple made the tranny work much better while on the track.

I've got the same color C5 and always wanted the magnesium wheels but figured it wasn't worth the trouble swapping or trying to sell mine since I've got a little road rash on one.

That looks tons better. I bet I can find some codger on corvette forums to do a swap. Though maybe not, his diaper-dried baby wouldn't be  all matching anymore:

Wee! I finally have decent pictures I can post! 1998 Lexus GS300. I bought it almost 4 years ago from the original owner with 76k miles on it. Spent its entire life in Florida.  Nothing much done to it mechanically other than the coilover suspension and catback exhaust.  Wheels are 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back.  That's my '99 Yamaha VMax under the cover there for the Cycle Asylum folk.

Bracing for the "historical" blizzard we have coming to DC: The cold weather has been freezing the check valve on my compressor so I sometimes have to sit in my driveway for quite some time before I can air up.

That thing probably has less miles on it than my MS3 did when I bought it, it still counts as new enough. One of these days I'll convince the wife to trade the CR-V for another hot hatch, now that our kid is forward-facing... one of these days.
