[carrman]

Well, lets pick a night then. Friday is bad for me, but most of next week is good. What nights are good for you guys?

[HONSUBY]

any time after 6:00 is cool for me during the week --anyone else?

[the_black_one]

I'm gonna go up and drive in the snow later today - who else has snow tires? (I know Wade does, anyone else?)

So Troy, did that go through or what? 04 Black WRX????

I'd be up for a meet whenever- once a time/place is set- we should shoot out a message to the roguesubies peeps.

Yes, Yes it did.... I'll post some pics up later tonight

I'm down to meet whenever, just make it after 5 and before 8 The pizza joint is good so that Marty our token 12 yr old can attend

Grrr... My car has finally developed the dreaded "leaking fuel rail" that they issued a TSB for the 02's.

[the_black_one]

So whats with the TSB's anyway? It's like "hey- we fu*ked up on this- so you can fix it by following these instructions. good luck."

I guess it's better than claiming complete ignorance... and they can't pay for everything.
I had a wheel bearing go out and apparently they used a horrible design on the early impreza models...

[rally02wrx]

so like, do i NEED snow tires for the mtn? cause i've never had an issue in the subie and i hear a lot of talk about not being able to without it....i dont believe so.. i mean subaru symmetrical AWD pwns all right? as of now im not allowed to snowboard caus i have about zero muscle rebuilt in my thumb so i wont be in the snow for a little while, but i cant wait....

and im not 12.

probably not... once the season starts they'll have it plowed all the time. I got mine mainly for the freeway driving I do over the passes between GP and Roseburg. Just the extra confidence on frosty corners, etc. is quite nice to have - if you've spun out before then you know. Also, since chains wont fit and you aren't supposed to use them, it makes me legal in chain-up areas. I probably wouldn't have gotten the snowtires if I could have just used chains - but in the end I'm glad I have them.

And yeah, the AWD rocks. But one definitely needs to learn how to use it. I was practicing coming out of fishtails on soda mtn rd. up on greensprings summit today, and it's amazing what some gas will do when you're sliding. I highly recommend that road if anyone needs some practice- just mind the 'residential area' sign near the end. It appears the guy who lives at the end of the road keeps it nicely plowed.

so when was your birfday?

[240kph]

Hey, so when/where's the meet? I'm down for anything after about 5 or so assuming its in the "Methford" area. Earlier if it's Thurs/Fri. Some snow driving would be sweet afterwards. I just got my stock rims powdercoated black with some Dunlop Wintersport M3's on 'em. Put away the Superleggeras for winter (not like they aren't gravel-****ed by now anyways)

the_black_one - I drive between GP and Glendale every day and they never said anything about my bald RE92's last year. Of course the trooper did call me "Speedy."

edit: I'm taking suggestions on what color to have my 17x7 OZ Superleggeras refinished next summer. Right now they're gold on a black 05 wagon.
