Nostalgia. Affirmation. Besides, that shit is >still< funny

I fear the Huntsman way more: that bastard comes right at you

Re: rear brake wear, have you seen the forum posts on that modulator valve for the rear brakes?  Been a few years, but that was the issue for a ‘96 that ate rear pads. May not be called that, but it was somewhat like the gizmo VW put in GTIs to keep them from locking rear wheels: it's attached somehow to the rear

Subaru has the best CVTs? I don’t care for the ‘shift points’ in the ‘14 my father bought, but I’m admittedly predjudiced against them after the hell that was a ‘13 Cube. Oh, and a Justy that did NOT deserve to die @ 75k...

It's not that my screws are loose; just that I used that bellhousing bolt in the motormount last year...Eh, whatever: it'll be fine!

If it helps any, I just learned last year that I’ve been singing Hotel California wrong for 40-odd years.

Step back from the edge, man: we’re living in the best of times. With today’s forums & YouTube, you can build a competitive car cheaper than ever. Stand-alone engine management is cheaper than ever. Cheap turbos are everywhere. People have cracked & posted manufacturer’s ecu codes. The world is our oyster!
