February 28, 20179 yr Just realized the whole windshield stuff is pretty OT for this thread. Got the glass replaced and it indeed is pretty much a copy of the oem glass. Some of the mold ends are not completely down on the ends and I may need to take care of that, but I think that is mostly cosmetic as it is the outer mold. CheersSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

March 3, 20179 yr Offroading is a motorsport. Not a question, a statement. If you disagree with me, go look up "Dakar Support Truck" on youtube. Anyways, my Jeep, no dubbed Pokey after her last outing, is going up on blocks this weekend. 3" lift kit shows up on Monday and shortly after it is installed, 33" tires will be ordered. All for the absolutely beautiful offroading out here. New Mexico may fall short in some aspects, but not the view.
March 3, 20179 yr Author Are you afraid to scare the jeeps off by getting too close to them with your camera?
March 3, 20179 yr I was more concerned that the fact that my ground clearance is more than the elevation change your car might see would scare you off.
March 3, 20179 yr So I'm waiting to hear back from the insurance on my diminished value claim. The valuation came back at $2.7k but I doubt they will give me that. I'm hoping they give me enough to pay for some autocross upgrades. My dilemma is do I get the ridiculously light OZ Ultraleggera or do I get Moda MD22 and Koni adjustable dampers for the rear (not available for the front). The tires will be Bridgestone RE-71R which are the kings of Autocross. We settled for $1500 for the diminished value claim. I'm pleased and will likely roll that into the OZ Ultraleggera super light autocross wheels. Edit: it appears that Enkei has just released even superlighter wheels that are cheaper. 15.8 lbs.
March 11, 20179 yr I got my new adjustable struts installed. Was way more work than expected (was supposed to be drop in but actually required drilling) and the mechanic was super cool and let me help and undercharged me for his time. I look forward to figuring these out on the autocross course.

March 11, 20179 yr Of course it's on the head. If it were on the shaft it'd get hung up on...well you know!
March 18, 20179 yr Not up to the Head-Case level but did a test drive of a maxed out 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-door limited. Will probably be the replacement for our Outback in a few months.
March 18, 20179 yr I almost bought an Outback sport, a few years ago (we went with the Prius, which was less fun). I like Subarus.
April 3, 20179 yr It might be a small victory, but I used some money from a work bonus to pay off the remainder of the loan balance due on my WRX today. I now own her free and clear. I am happy. Edited April 3, 20179 yr by TMoney

April 3, 20179 yr Actually I'm now basically 100% on track to become a first-time homeowner in the fall as long as I keep maintaining some semblance of financial discipline. It has been a very long road to this point but the end goal is finally in sight.

April 3, 20179 yr That is great news, TMoney! Best of luck on the home. They'll keep you up at night at times (my house is pretty old so it's a fair amount of work), but home ownership is a great thing. Well worth the effort and expense in my case. HS
April 3, 20179 yr I think the gent is high on the asking price, but no denying this would be a hoot to drive... https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/audi/s4-avant/1932313.html?refer=news For the Audi fans in the house. HS

HS That thing is a disaster waiting to happen. A very, very cool disaster. Where do I sign up?
April 3, 20179 yr There is just something bad ass about a fast wagon, especially one that's a stick car. I could do without the red mirrors and the symbol across the side as I prefer understated shock the hell out of the guy in the Corvette at the light factor HS
