No one believes me when i say just go turbo instead of S/C with a Turbo you can detune and have the same power as a S/C but with a S/C youll have to do much more to get the power!

Who ran their orange frs off the road in Dunkirk? I noticed grass on the front end and a flat drivers side tire. I'll take pics if they are there on the way back.

So I found out why my stability control kept kicking in yesterday. The dealer reset my tire pressures to 32 all the way around. Now what were my settings before?

My passenger window decided to totally die tonight, while it was in the down position, while we're having torrential downpours, while I was trying to drive home from work.

Now I get to wake up early on my day off when I usually make up sleep so I can take it to the dealer.

My guess is this has something to do with Toyota allowing Subaru's shitty design for their doors. Eat ****s you guys.

PS: No it's not the fuses.

So with a turbo what would have happened is you would have backfired really loudly, the cop would have thought you had a gun, and you would have died.

I'm not sure I get it, but I enjoyed the ride anyway.

Doubtful. More than likely has something to do with Toyota's window switch that has already proven to have issues.
