New England B.S. Thread

Nevarrrrr. Gas guzzling suv ftw. 'mericah

 

Had to park in central parking in Logan this morning instead of where I normally park (terminal b parking). I'm too lazy to take my firestik off and central parking ceilings are too low so it hits on every joist. It's kind of funny setting the stares of the attendants and people as I'm driving through and making a ridiculous racket though.

 

You should start a thread on it, I don't think that there are any pertaining to that specific subject.

 

Good to know. I'll do that instead. Should give me a chance to talk to the neighbors about it yet again, lol.

 

Fundamentally I understand this, but like others have mentioned, I just couldn't do it. When I see minivans all I picture is the battered Caravans and Windstars you see in the Walmart parking lot driven by well, people of Walmart.

I had a rough enough time giving up the 6MT in the Tacoma to get the 5AT. Luckily Amy shares my opinion on the minivan. Since it would be the family hauler I'd be driving it just as much as her.

 

Before I disabled the system I had a sensor with a bad/intermittent connection on my '99. Sometimes the light would come on when I went around a corner or over a bump. Drove me nuts for a couple of weeks until I finally found the bad connector and cleaned it out. Of course, a couple of weeks later I did the grey wire mod and disabled the ABS anyway, so it was a moot point.

 

Drive a Forester XT (Turbo)...
Wife's is a 2010 model. It's certainly very quick and fun to drive.

 

I like the Impreza's more myself. There's something that's a lot of fun about tear-assing down a logging road in a small AWD wagon, haha!

 

Back from the grave!

After 8 months without a truck, I put a deposit on a 2001 4Runner SR5 4x4. Im going to pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. It will become the tow-behind vehicle for my new-to-me motorhome. I'll resume with the usual dumb questions after I get the 4Runner home.

Down in Roanoke for the week. Stepped of the plane and it's gorgeous. 62 deg and sunny. A nice change for sure

 

Anyone have a NFA trust?

 

Not yet. I have all the paperwork and a lower I am thinking about using but I am still hesitant to get one

 

I don't have a scanner and I'm not 100% sure what I have to do.

 

Nice. Any plans for it?

 

He's going to tow it behind a motor home.

 

We're planning a west coast trip for the summer. Outside of Disney movies, my kids have never seen a desert. I, on the other hand, have at least 50,000 off-road miles in CA, AZ, NV, NM and Baja over the past 30 years. It won't be very demanding, but we're going to do some exploring. I miss it a lot.

I have a buddy that just did it. I just don't like the idea of having the paperwork with you 24/7 and notifying the feds when you plan on traveling with it

 

That sounds like a fun time. Enjoy

 

Lucky bastard. If I could just talk my wife into it I'd move down south in a second...

 

You can fill out the forms at the beginning of the year and be done with it I've been told. Also, you can just scale down the paperwork and put it either in your grip or your stock and not have to worry
