New England B.S. Thread

I'm contemplating a track/back roads toy. No solid plans, or thoughts... just boredom. But, 6mt... I can't find any of those.....would love a Grey one... of better, a blue with white stripe GS.

 

Thanks again for the replies! I was hoping to get something with some kind of warranty just to ensure whatever place is watching their shit and doing it right. I was expecting there to be a yearly touch up to maintain warranty or something. I am guessing Jason knows his shit with the amount of Tacos he has done, thanks for sending that thread. @jpereira2 if you do have any availability in the near future, please pm me! If not, no worries. I have an appt in mid-November.

 

Spiral gray and electron blue were towards the end of production of the C5. If you want more info, message me.

I’m going back to another STi, one way or another.

Edit, the GS was C4 and C6. C4 was the admiral blue / white combo you’d want.

 

I fucking wish I could get back into another STi, don't have the funds for 2 shitbox/projects

 

Wanna go splitsies

 

I don't even have the funds for half at this point

 

Sure! I’ll make the terrible decisions and all you have to do is fund them

 

Ditto, sadly

 

They're buying a WRX, not getting married

 

That's also how it all starts...

 

Its what makes a subaru a subaru.

 

Swap an sti engine and drivetrain into a baja. Better than any ridgeline.

 

My friends are building a baja lemons car.

 

Yeah, until the engine grenades itself... It'd be fun until that happens though!

 

Are they going to be at the race this weekend? I plan on going up Saturday to watch!

 

They should be, the motor stared knocking last week so not 100% sure

 

We said it would be fun, not reliable!

 

MA inspection rant..

I'm usually pretty silent on it because I understand the idea, not many know/care enough to keep up on vehicle stuff like ourselves so I just do it and get it done.

Place failed me yesterday. Per them my regular cab Tacoma must have 3 seatbelts and my middle belt missing is a failure.

Hadn't been an issue from 2012 when I got it until 2019, right when the on camera stuff started. The Toyota dealer then even agreed with my thoughts but said if it's a grey area he's gotta reject it as they're being watched. I disputed it through the RMV and won based on:

Per MA law, you can't put a child seat in the front (which is most likely what that spot would be used for) as I can't manually shut off the airbag(s) in the vehicle.

The space is about 12 inches..2 CD cases fit side by side tightly. If a person not needing a car seat was in that spot they'd be straddling the shifter and have at least one leg on my side of the floor, which is illegal.

In both examples the person would most likely be prone to knocking the shifter out of gear as well.

I disputed the 2019 finding and won, the inspector who called me even said that's ludicrous that a 2 passenger vehicle would require it and told the shop to pass it. No issues again until now.

The 18 year old who failed it got a pissy attitude in telling me it was failing and when I started on my explanation slowly shrunk behind his boss..the boss folded his arms and got all snotty like who am I to tell him something.

As an aside I dug up my title and found it incorrectly lists my truck as 4 door 4 passenger, so I'll have to get that corrected after this. But in future years bet I'll have that title in my pocket and show anyone who contends it's a 3 belt requirement.

Really dumb that the state is cracking down on people getting late stickers or not at all supposedly but the people who do what they should in a timely manner get their balls busted.
