Here's the fine print on the site. I havent gone ovee in person yet since I'm not ready to do anything just yet

 

The math on that isn't terrible. You pay a little over $13k over 36 months plus all the up front fees. Off of a $37k MSRP, you'll pay another $1-2k at the end of the 3 years if you buy it, then start off the financing...

RI is changing it's exit numbers. Been coming home to exit 9 on 295 forever. Now it's exit 18.

 

Just saw this tonight en route to Twin River

 

He had an STI - those are worse - my stock daily driver WRX was a money pit and I got all my mods for free....

Welcome to the club no go get fluid filmed/undercoated while it's still nice under....

 

You're right!

@DarkFire989, now is the time to have the frame coated with fluid film or similar (I use Amsoil HD metal coat) to keep any rust away!

 

Good morning everyone. Happy Sunday. Waiting for a bunch of friends so we can eat breakfast at a place in Southbury CT, called Chips. Then it's off to Essex CT with all the kiddos to do the Polar Express.

 

Everyone have fun be safe today

 

I like the way Maine does it. Exits are numbered by mile. So, I go up to exit 244 every year--244 miles from the Maine border.

But that may prove difficult in a congested state like RI. MA would probably even be a issue on the east side.

 

RI is doing it by mile like Maine, which is apparently how most of the country is doing it now. We're behind.

 

The exit number by mile marker is really nice. The way we do it around here is actually pretty stupid.

 

That's what I'm used to. Never questioned it before.

 

I bet it's 40+ miles for the first three exits on the Pike out my way. Lee to Westfield is about a 25 minute drive on its own if I remember correctly.

 

So it turns out that my front diff ADD didn’t have a faulty connection. It was filled with water. Wtf?! Soaked the motor in alcohol, scrubbed it and dried it, cleaned all the corrosion out of the actuator housing, and now it works. Thought this was gonna be easy.

 

Yeah. This is 100% correct. If you looked up money pit in the dictionary you should see my car.

Good to know. I'll look into this. Thanks.

 

It wouldn't work on 95 down where I live.
My town alone has 6 exits , some are spaced out less than a mile from the next.

 

That's what I was thinking. 95 is 108 miles in CT and has something like 96 exits. They'd go through the entire alphabet in some areas: 50A, 50B, etc... I believe that's why we have so much traffic - too many exits and entrances. In Waterbury, to go across town east or west, you jump on 84. The term interstate isn't understood...

 

When I lived down south, they would just use letters. Going through the cities, you would have a lot of the same numbers but it was still helpful to know generally where you are and how far to the next exit.

 

Man, my best friend and I must have gotten lucky in that regard. Outside of my rear struts, I spent nothing on it outside of mods, maintenance and consumables. My friend has north of 170K on his 06 wagon (he's the original owner) and it's still got the original clutch albeit starting to slip (he's been at 20 psi for over 100K, although he doesn't regularly beat on it) and outside of a few calipers and the emissions air pump, he had basically no issues.

My STi always felt fragile, though, even though it wasn't.
