No reason to not try fixing this glaring issue.

not a fan of the mesh grills. always looks out of place to me.

as for left lane slow drivers, the only thing worse is when they find a car to pace in the right lane, effectively forming a moving roadblock. This happens on 64 between Richmond and Va Beach ALL the time. I've had multiple occasions where this has happened and immediately after passing them the left lane car suddenly decides that it's to speed up and tailgate me.

guess what? my brakes are better.

Yep, I hate taking service calls out there because of that. It's even worse when the big rigs do it. That road block lasts for miles.

Anyone going to be around Alexandria today/tomorrow? There's some parts I need picked up asap and not sure I can make it there by Friday night. Live in Laurel, work in Chantilly/Tysons/Reston/Sterling. Willing to meet in any of those lol.

xjohnx · 02-07-2013, 02:40 PM

Do any of you guys have the OEM Audio Plus system installed?

I can be of assistance.

So this happened today on my way home from Baltimore.. figures, no incidents whatsoever the whole week up north then bam.. 20 min from home on I64

fkn stone chip! grr.. I figure I'll wait for it to crack and then worry about it. Anyone want to take bets how long it will take? lol

OrbitalEllipses · 02-07-2013, 11:56 PM

Had a stone chip on my WRX that was going on 5 years then I sold the car. Windshield's still fine!

mangostick · 02-08-2013, 12:06 AM

that's what I'm hoping with this one. My wrx had a crack on the lower passenger side that was there when I traded it in.. it was a good couple years being there.

I'd rather the glass get messed up vs sheet metal.. its not as easy to cut out and replace sheet metal

We need a pool going, I'd say depends on weather, if we have one really hot day and one cold day
