I did a thing:  That thing was parking poorly on top of one of work's parking garages. Oh also I bought that Mazda. 2008 with 40k and it cost me 14 big boy dollars. I love my dad car. Also love the 6 speed. And the turdbo.

Those look like some Rota D2s. The Yaris does look good actually. Something about it and the Fit I really like.

Just hit 2k on the Poop Troupe! Here it is after a 750 mile roadtrip back safely in the garage. 85mph Roadtrip netted 21.7 MPG which is much better than my picking up daughter from daycare 11.8 MPG average. We're at 16.2 MPG for the first 2k miles of the Charger. Time to change the oil and send it to Blackstone.  It's a hell of a car.

Night and day difference when it comes to the kind of winters we get in Minnesota. The R2’s are unstoppable. I've used General Alitmax Arctics and they have been amazing for MN winters. Much better than the Blizzaks I used to run. I've got Yokohama BluEarths on the Scat Pack and they are WAY less chunky than I am used to. We've only gotten a dusting so far, but they were planted. Also, I shouldn't throw tread if it gets warm. I worry about that with such a heavy car.

I traded my 2008 in to a dealer for $5k last year and I regret it 100%. It didn't even have 70k on it, and beyond a few dings and dents was in perfect shape. I was tired of its maintenance, which I had already solved most of, and the siren song of 500 horsepower made me stupid.

I miss it in the sense of I would love it as a second car that I would not care if I blew up due to upping boost. I do not miss it at all as my only car. It always felt like it was right on the edge of another big thing breaking.

especially at 125k miles. I feel bad for whoever paid 10k+ for mine at a dealer because they probably got to throw a bunch of bushings and an A/C system at it right away.

First of all, that car is GORGEOUS. I had a '79 Continental and an '84 Towncar so man did I love boats. But most importantly, the 460 in there made less than .5hp per cubic inch. Those engines were treasures...

doogle posted:If you don't mind can you tell us how much you paid and what level of ceramic coating (ie lifetime, 5 year, etc.)? I am very interested in getting this done to my SS which is a similar sized car and I'm getting widely varying quotes (from $1500-6k for paint correction and lifetime ceramic coating). It was $1199 + taxes and I tipped the guy who did the correction. Normal price is $1499, owner was doing a memorial day sale. The shop uses Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra so it's a 9 year coating. They want me to bring it in for a hand wash and to check the coating every 6 months. I was doing a lot of hemming and hawing and jumped when he offered a 20% off sale.

Somewhat Heroic posted:I have been very curious about this since it is still a little bit of voodoo and I have seen too many amateurs posting about their services on Facebook to keep me from taking the bait. I would be interested to hear more about how well it holds up with whatever your normal wash routine ends up looking like. I know meatpimp has done some good stuff DIY with his older SUV and I have considered the same for my Lexus but I think I would need to have a professional (read: expensive) apply a good coating to the M3. I am not ready to drop that many dollars for that car yet. Handwash and wax will suffice for now. In my totally scientific testing(driving in the rain), there was a noticeable difference between the hydrophobicity of normal wax and this ceramic coating. I drove in heavy rain, and parked it without doing anything about the water on it. It has water spots on the read bumper and that's it. I'll powerwash it today and foam lance it and let you know. I'm really interested in seeing it in 2 years more than anything.

loving LOL Nevermind.  I was in the middle of an intersection at night turning left, as the light turned red. Didn't see a young guy in a van trying to beat the light. He told me he sped up to make it, but I honestly didn't see him until I was a foot into his lane, so I failed to make sure it was clear. Back to searching. Just gotta wait for the check. Thankfully I don't owe anything on it so that should be simple. And very appreciative the kids were asleep at home and not out cruising with me.
