That sucks your already contemplating on trading vehicles, or just getting something else. I find it rediculous how good the resale value is for the Sti's, Evo's and even the Wrxs. You still can't get one for under 14 grand. Not including the wrx's, and that's for the mid 2003-05 range. Including higher milage as well.

Good luck with insurance as well.. That was a main reason why I swapped mine out. Ain't going to pay 2400 dollars a year, not to mention the maintance costs..

What did you have, and are you saying the maintenance was a lot to keep up with?

President Barack Obama on Thursday will free 10 states from the strict and sweeping requirements of the No Child Left Behind law, giving leeway to states that promise to improve how they prepare and evaluate students, The Associated Press has learned.

The first 10 states to receive the waivers are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee. NBC News confirmed the report.

10 down, 40 to go

Fucking finally, that was THE most RETARDED law I've ever see be put into law.

When this first came out, it was always test test test, I swear we spent 80% of our class time prepping for tests.

That will never go away here in MD or even in VA. Too many delusional pie in the sky people with power.

Will 2 18's be louder than 2 12's? Can somebody answer or should I start a thread to get an answer?

Depends on the alternator.

Well I just checked and mine has a pully and is spun by a thing that looks like a belt.

Damn is it freezing cold in the new building! I had to come home to warm up!

Someone buy me a plane ticket to the Keys, right the F now!

I had an 03 Evo 8 about 2 years ago. Obviously it was used and had previous owners... Now I know that you can't buy those vehIcals used because you don't know what the other owner drove. But even if it was in prestiene condition I still feel like the maintence would be high. Clutch changes (depending on how you drive) but they are an absolute joke in the lancers... Glad it wasnt an MR edition or probably would have had issues with the tranny. Just glad I am out of that mess and have a reliable car now... No issues yet just need to do the 100k service in a year or so ( timing belt).

That is kind of what I have read about with the Evo's, STi's seem to be a little easier on the wallet to keep on the road.

Only if I can go too!

Some how have to make it another 75 minutes.

I know that feeling!

Adrian strikes again

OH SNAP !

I actually miss getting payed to play around with the backhoe

Might sneak out early. Exhausted and I have so much driving ahead of me.

He wasn't worried about speed then. Just keep in mind, if you dump all that money into the Mustang, you will never get it back. The Subaru will ALWAYS have better resale than a V6 Mustang.

Then buy an older Mustang.

Resale and money lost on a car should never be calculated any by any formula except: buying price - selling price. You can choose to amortize the repairs in the buying price or not, but that makes it more of a prediction. Adding operational cost and insurance and such is also of interest.

Either way, I'd actually own a Mustang. No way in hell would I own that Subbie.

Well, duh. What other formula could possibly work there? Resale ALWAYS needs to be thought when purchasing young. If you're going to dump $30K into a vehicle, you sure want to be able to recoup some of that money when you sell. I don't think these kids realize what they are doing when purchasing new vehicles at that young age. They need to be aware they are basically throwing money away.

Stefan, gasoline won't work on the two part foam. You're only hope of removal is by mechanical means if you want to remove it.

I took a screw driver to the inside, got all the clay out, and some foam. I also drilled holes throughout the rear panel, ib.

Also read on uscomposites that its made specifically so it can't be dissolved by solvents.

Yeah, all the two part (catalyzing) foams are solvent-resistant.

I was about to do call and ask them, then read the site, glad I did heh.

I must say the foam made the whole process a lot easier.

Jazz music, what are some artists I should check out?

John Coltrane, Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker

Damn, it's snowing like crazy outside. This is going to be a shitty drive home from work. People seem to go nuts in the city when it snows.

Fuck you.
