Kinda funny/sad part of that sticker is, I've found vector of Flander... I could of used that outline and made same kind like Sheep's, just it'll be Flander instead. BUT I've already send that one, so o'well

They're going up in price, so I think his was a fair price with some haggling at the end. I'd never buy one myself tho.

Nah. The one I posted was all stock with the exception of springs and cat back. It was super clean. Haha

Wow... Ford is actually issuing a Field Service Action to replace head gaskets for the RS... Don't see Subaru caving to that kind of pressure lol

Think Ford is taking action because it's happening on newer cars not to mention the RS is the flagship performance model in that category. The head gasket issues for Subaru were mostly on cars with higher mileage. If the head gasket issue was on higher mileage or older RS's I think Ford would give owners the cold shoulder as well.

Ya, tbh, I just figured they were going to keep warrantying cars that went boom under 60k mi then call it good after that. I think that's what Subaru did with the ringland and the 86's DI seal failures.

Cost analysis. Ford's FSB means it is 1) more prevalent then the other issues mentioned, 2) they have a solid fix, 3) repairs for all cost less then expected repairs for the ones who would blow their engine within warranty, and/or 4) Subaru just don't give AF

The one you posted was also lower miles and $10k cheaper.

Ford also has an easy fix. Just install the correct head gaskets instead of the wrong ones. I don't think Subaru had anything that easy.

The whole instant resume thing and basically seamless transition from hand held to docked just makes it so convenient. I can play with it docked at home, pause the game, pick right back up where I left off when I get to the airport or on the plane, pause again, and pick up docked with a compact travel dongle/dock when I get to the hotel. The charger, Joy-con grip, dongle, and HDMI cable take up a very small amount of space in my luggage.


Of course my use case is completely different than yours if you're just trying to fit in quick sessions. You can play Zelda in short bursts since you can pause and resume whenever, but I think it's not really the best game to play in little pieces like that.


It would just be nice if USB-C wasn't such a clusterfuck. There aren't that many chargers that will power the switch while docked. And of course the Switch charger won't charge my phone at full speed. It's not a real big deal but the promise of a charger for all things is far from met.

Or all the horror stories about 3rd party docks/dongles are true and I bricked my Switch. And since Nintendo doesn't support cloud saves or saving to the MicroSD card I'll probably lose all progress in my games even if it is fixable. But hey, I'm only in freezing ass middle of nowhere West Virginia for two more weeks so it's not like I need a way to keep myself entertained.
