    Funny, I spun out since the first time buying it...almost 7 years ago. Hit a ledge of snow between lanes and it felt like my car just got lifted off of the ground.

    Last night coming out of class, wouldn't start... got jumped...started... starting driving up 35W and every time the blinker would even go on, the whole electrical system would flicker... exited on 46th, and as I went into neutral, complete black out. Couldn't role down the window to wave on the big truck behind me (sorry angry fella...be sure to breath a little...) got it pulled over, and popped the hood. As soon as I put any pressure on the positive connector it would come back to life. We danced like this for about 15 minutes, finally got it to stay on, cruised home the mile or so, and then it did it again in my ally/driveway. Got it into the garage but have to figure out what's going on. There was a little corrosion which I cleared out, but I think it is the actual connector. Ruled out alternator, as I was holding strong when it was on around 14v. I am guessing a bad cable, but will be looking further later today/this evening...

    Should have popped the clutch to restart it after you clutched in and it died.

    My girlfriend says it gives her headaches, it does drone a bit, in my opinion though it's not bad unless the back seats are down. I have been told though that it sounds completely different on my 2.5 than it did on my buddy's 2.0, he has the same car as yours and my setup came right off his. It's an N1 cbe with invidia catless divorced dp

    Ill probably go with the Maddad Whisper twin tip. Those look pretty sweet on wagons and are not crazy loud.

    That exact thing happened to me except that the person in front of me drove over it and it jumped up just before I got there. I hit it mid air and caused alot of damage to the paint protection film. It also broke some plastic attachments pieces behind the bumper cover. I replaced the paint protection film and the tow hook cover and side vent cover that went missing. Cost me about $300 to fix it all. Quote was for $1400. You can't even tell there was damage anymore.

    Holy crap! Bad situation. Been seeing a ton of those gator skins all over the place. I leave a lane between me and it now.

    Man do I hate re-treads. The truck driver doesn't even notice most of the time because they have enough redundant wheels.
    I suppose it is less wasteful to just glue a new tread to the used up tire but I don't really care when they fly apart all the time and are so dangerous.

    Right? Some areas are really good at getting them cleaned up fast though. Others not so much.

    Put the gold bbs on. I should have waited... But I didn't want to, and they didn't make a very good coffee table in my living room. I wasn't sure about the black/ gold combo at first, but I like them.

    Ordered some black urethane Rally Armor mudflaps and the OEM body side moldings, also got wheel locks . Was going to bump up to stage 2 but looks like I'll be putting that money towards new rims and tires for summer which could be coming early this year.

    I'm assuming that it was just because it was about an hour before the Super Bowl and it was an easy reason to check for drunk driving.

    Drove to the cities on Saturday to see some friends. Ended up loading up the car with some KCCO beer to take home. I like having a hatch :)

    Just changed my transmission fluid and rear differential fluid. It honestly feels the same. Used Mobil/Synthetic gear oil SAE 75W-90. Any one else try something different? Lucas Oil/Synthetic trans and diff gear oil SAE 75W-90 or Royal Purple/Synthetic Max-Gear oil SAE 75W-90. uploadfromtaptalk1392500145047.jpg
