Keystone State Thread

Lol I'm sure it wont be cheap either. He bought it brand new and never drives it. But it is a sweet car tho. Wish I had to money for it

 

They are nice. I want a manual car next I miss shifting.

 

I’m off next week. Time to get the taco back up to snuff.
Drain & replace all fluids, inspection ( @loosnut ) reinstall front driveshaft, reinstall belly & t-case skids and rerun the air line for the front & rear locker.

@skatefreak282 I’d like to swing by on Sunday and get those taillights if
Possible? Let me know pls.

there’s a few other things on the checklist but I need to start getting serious if I want to go
To Moab in September.

 

Good morning, fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!! Day off for me - taking Fridays as vacation for the next few weeks until I retire at the end of the month. Have a great weekend!!!

 

With one inspector with 8 weeks vacation!

Then add in Federal and city and township plus utility projects

 

If you would possibly consider something smaller I'd highly recommend a VW GTI. I've had my 2017 6 speed manual since new and 22K miles and its been an excellent "little" car. It's actually somewhat roomy inside for what it is. It makes the turbo noises you're after while being economical. My commute I can average 35-40mpg depending on how I use the skinny pedal. I know it isn't AWD, but it still handles decent. I've only done oil changes and tire rotations so far. The interior is definitely nicer that the WRX IMO, I've been in both.

Plus it looks downright awesome with tint:




Ok, sorry for the threadjack and shameless plug. Continue with your morning PA

 

Sounds like a plan! Use up some sick leave. 44months for me...

 

I'm so far away from retirement that the retirement age is actively getting further away.

 

@BlackWagon My Son's STI back in 14 when it was new. He sold it in 17 and bought a new cement Pro. Subie was a cop magnet, he worked night shift and police pulled him over regularly. Was a cool little ride, ran awesome! Had the optional short throw shifter and man you could bang it!

 

Well my Friday is off to a great start. F*** deer.

 

I came from a manual car before I bought my truck and I do miss driving it also. My truck should be paid off in December. I plan on buying a daily car thats manual most likely would be a GTI hatch.

 

Just the mirror or is the door dented?

 

I'm a big fan of vw. I've had a 99 jetta Wolfsburg 1.8t and a 03 jetta vr6 that I turbod. I miss them both. Both were stick shift

 

Same. That does in deed suck

 

Bought my first VW in 2013; a 2008 Jetta with the 5 cylinder and 5 speed. After that I was hooked. Unfortunately at this time I'm looking to downsize my fleet so I've been entertaining selling the GTI. I bought it during a time I had a company van so it was then practical. Now having to drive over the mountain daily 4wd is definitely required as I calling off is not really an option... Yea I can drive it during the summer, but paying insurance on 3 vehicles is getting a little old.

 

Yeup big dent too, two decent size spots where the paint chipped off down to the bare metal, window can't go down, door handle bent (still latches) and the top left corner doesn't seat with the cab.

 

Come down for taco Sunday and we can get your sorted out.

 

That sucks.
Just had a close call with one on wed. Morning. I caught it out of the corner of my eye, he was running full tilt. I thought he was gonna hot me in the door like yours.Luckily I was able to brake enough for him to just slip by infront of me.

 

New door time imo.

I always aim center mass. I have an ARB bumper.

 

Lucky... glad you missed it, this thing came out of no where, never seen it...still sucks but glad i was in the truck, i was going to take the bike this morning instead. Could have been totally different out come
