My wife and I are just starting the process of looking into getting our first house (great timing, yeah, I know) and, while I’ve bought several cars, home buying seems like a totally different ballgame, and, admittedly, I’m pretty ignorant on the subject. Obviously, we’re going to need to...

Good comparo video by Savagegeese on the 2022 WRX vs Elantra N vs Civic Si vs GTI. Personally, I think, at $30,600, far less than all but the Civic, which has a lot less power and performance, and no AWD, the WRX is the best deal in the sport compact segment.

I’m in Memphis helping watch my nephews while my sister has an abdominal operation, and, while here, during a couple of hours of free time, thought I’d take the Tacoma over to Discount Tire because I’d noticed a rear tire out of balance. While they were working on it, I thought I’d walk next...

This was on I-65 south in Nashville Sunday. I think the plate is Australian.

Would have loved to get a look under the hood and inside the cabin. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time researching it, but i read that some of these have a 24-volt electrical system, and they were available with a few different engines, including a beastly 4.8L I6, which I read is popular for...

https://abc13.com/texas-state-troopers-required-to-lose-weight-fitness-requirements-physical-tests-waistline-measurements/11776404/ I think it’s a good idea. Controversial, but I’ve never thought cops who were overweight and out of shape could do their job effectively. Good for Texas State...

Iron Mike said a fellow passenger harassed him and threw a water bottle at him on a JetBlue flight scheduled from SFO to Florida. https://larrybrownsports.com/boxing/mike-tyson-attack-punch-man-airplane-video/595562 Sounds like drunk guy got what he deserved. Some might say Tyson should...

Anybody getting bad weather currently? Temps were unseasonably warm here (80+) today, and we got a lot of high winds. Several 18-wheelers blown over on I-40 east of here. Currently sitting at work waiting for our electricity to come back on (I work aircraft maintenance, 1600-0230). Management...

If you saw my recent thread about the Mossberg Mariner Marinecote you knew I was looking at shotguns. Well, seeing that Mariner on sale spurred me into doing some research into what else was available, and by the time I got ready to buy, Sportsman’s Warehouse was all sold out. But after doing...

In what was a very disappointing Friday afternoon news dump, Subaru announced that a high-performance version of the new-generation 2022 WRX won’t be produced. I cant help but to think that the decision to cancel the STi was greatly influenced by the negative (to put it mildly) reaction to the...

Saw this advertised in the Gundeals newsletter, and remembered @billt460 posting a few years ago about the Remington Police Marine Magnum, how good of a job he did describing that shotgun, and I've wanted one ever since! Unfortunately, nobody ever has one! Well, I haven't looked that much...

I think it would be a neat economy weapon. What was the last year they were made, again?

They were on for 43,000 miles. The last set was the Michelin LTX M/S-2, which lasted 69,000 miles. I bought a set of the Defender LTX, because, they stopped making the LTX M/S-2 in this size (P265/75-16) a few years ago, replacing it with this. I was suspicious, but went ahead and bought them...

They’re being mounted at Discount Tire right now! After 2 sets of the Michelin LTX M/S-2 on the Tacoma, they stopped making it in the size I’m using (P265/75-16), so I went with the replacement - the Defender LTX. At the time, I can remember speculation on this board that the Defender LTX...

Interested to hear any comment/insight our resident airline pilots may have on the 2009 Narita tragedy, especially those who may have DC-10 and/or MD-11 time.

Somehow I’ve gotten on a flashlight kick. As an aircraft mechanic working night shift, I often have the need for a good flashlight. A lot of the guys at work have Streamlights that they bought from the Snap-On tool truck guy, but I always knew they paid about $120 for them, and, while they’re...

Wife woke me up at 0800 and told me it was time. Original due date was 2-22-22. Our son was about 4 weeks early (he was born Jan. 3, 2021), but we assumed it was due to the wife’s car wreck in December of last year, when she was 8 mos pregnant. Britta had an appt with her OB doc yesterday...

I’ve noticed a slowdown on the board in the last several days (delays when attempting to select a forum, trying to post…pretty much any command I enter is taking forever, with the yellow “delay” bar at the top frequently appearing). Anyone else seeing this? Is it a known problem?

Some friends of ours have a friend who let them borrow this for the weekend. This was about 7 months ago. I’m just now getting around to posting the photos. Honestly can’t remember what year the car is; all I remember is that it’s 1960s era. Engine is not original.
