Thanks! I had a dingy, pre-LCI one that was silver-over-black and an automatic. Original plan was to sit on it until I could get a GR Corolla, but for a variety of reasons I said, "gently caress that noise" and swapped out that wagon for this slightly cleaner one with the superior interior color and 6MT too  I think the official color name is "Saddle Brown" but I call it peanut butter in my head.

TheGoatTrick posted:Biggest complaints ... how the door handles and lock/unlock work. Is it just some byproduct of them being flush with the rest of the door handle? I'm sure I've watched Doug's review of the thing but I can't recall how they work. Push on one end to pop up the other end then grab it?

I mildly regret not waiting longer to save up for a higher quality shop to do the wrap, but oh well. You get what you pay for, and it was definitely cheap labor. Very cool color in the sun, can really see the yellow/gold come through I need to order a new mesh for the grille, I hit a bird the other week  ...And then while walking in the park the other day I got to watch someone back up and ding my bumper and drive off

Mcqueen posted:Its wild that even with absolutely giant wheels (22"?) the Wagoneer manages to look ungainly and top heavy. Like it might just topple over one way on another for any reason, probably onto a smaller and therefore lesser car. It doesn't matter how right certain proportions may or may not be; when you're parked in front of a garage because you can't park inside of it you're just going to look big.

I live in a city that makes the Top 10 for "Highest Poverty Rates in America", so everything is expensive relative to here I can't decide if proximity to climbing gyms or to the mountains are more important. Hopefully visiting in October to help answer that, but that depends on how much more the E91 violates my wallet this year I guess

I absolutely love my bronze, but the trend already seems to be setting in with like the M5, Blackwings and a few other cars offering bronze/gold from the factory now.

That first and third shot are especially cool, looks awesome indeed The snazwagon is looking less awesome after a low speed collision last week. Supposedly both insurance companies already agreed to a 50-50 settlement but I haven't been contacted by the other driver's insurance... And my insurer couldn't find the other driver's information when I called the other day? Cool if I do get a whole new bumper, it was a bit hosed up from 2 other incidents. But now I need to find someone who will wrap just the bumper lol. Sab669 fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Sep 21, 2023 |

Super lovely there are 2 holes in that aluminum-looking strip, so you can't even just buy 7 white plugs. I imagine it'd be hard to find a paint code for that strip, anyways.

kastein posted:They'll fail your state safety inspection for no front plate there, so I ziptied it to the grille and stopped giving a poo poo Really? drat. I used to live in MA but back then I didn't give a poo poo about my car so of course I had a front plate. I've got to get my inspection done here in NY, hoping my mechanic doesn't give me a hard time over my window tint. NY has a really dumb law where SUVs and trucks -- yknow, the most popular vehicles -- can have any tint they want on both the front and rear side windows, but anything smaller isn't supposed to block more than like 30% of light in the front sides? 30% Blockage is like "why even bother tinting it at all" levels. I forget what percent I went with, but definitely more than that. I see tons of cars all the time with super dark tints, so they must be getting passed somewhere 🙃

I do know the 'actual' color names for all my cars, although refuse to go look up the names of the blacks I owned (phrasing? 😬) out of lack of respect for the color  I know the Z was Magnetic Black though because I had to order a paint pen to clean up some scratches
