Yeah, that’s a rough one.  I bought a ‘99 XJ back in 2008.  Can’t remember how many miles were on it, but the rear leafs had flattened out.  Found a fresh pair of HD leaf springs and decided to tackle the job in the driveway.  Somehow managed to not break any bolts, but it took a breaker bar with a cheater and some…

I already liked it, but that Proto looks great.

Perfect temps

Back around 2010 I made a few trips out to CO, exploring and camping in the mountain backcountry.  Didn’t realize I was overlanding.. just think of all those instagram hashtags I could have used!

Sure, just bring your subie up here and let me borrow it for the week.

I’ve had 285/75 KO2s on my Xterra for the last couple of years and it does great in the snow.

So nice to never have to worry about getting a park permit.  

I really liked my MN Moose plate:

Agreed.  I’ve played every FM game and most of the GT series, and the vehicle dynamics have always felt better in Forza.  The only thing I wish they’d steal from GT is the trackside replay camera.  GT always did a really good job of making it look like an actual camera at a race.

I got a 7" Ridgid circular saw that happened to come in a kit with a few other tools I wanted when they had a deal going.  That thing is a beast, I’d rather use it than my corded one.  Lasts a surprising amount of time on a 4ah battery.  I even threw a metal cutting blade on it and went to town on some stuff way over…

I was behind some sort of tuned diesel bimmer (debadged so no idea which model) at a track day in my 1LE.  Could keep up in the corners but any sort of straight and it let out a little huff of smoke and that mf’r was gone.  Pretty dang cool.

UP is beautiful.  I was mainly up there for mountain biking, so wasn’t doing too much off road exploring. 

As someone who always runs the camera inverted, I’m still not over them getting rid of the system level inverted camera setting. Single best thing of the X360.

2nd gen. I usually don’t go looking for mud, but plenty of it on the logging roads around the UP of Michigan.

Neutral:

Who knows at this point. The used and new car market will be in turmoil for the next couple years, it seems. A buddy of mine works at large Hyundai dealer and they’re doing everything they can to not have new vehicles on the lot, because the fewer new vehicles they have the higher on the allocation list they are. So…

Yeah it almost seems like MS kept it a bit hidden on purpose, you had to dig into the add-on section of the base game IIRC. I had no idea it was there until I read about it on r/forza.

It was the ‘Forza Horizon 5 Premium add-ons bundle’.  Came with early access, was $45 + tax when I picked it up.  Honestly it was a little tough to find on the MS store.

The one round of arcade I managed to start left me solo.  That was before the hotfix, so I’ll have to try again.  Really like the FH4 implementation, so hopefully they get this one working better.
