First sighting. I've been watching for it. They're getting ooooollllddd.

What do? Think I'll keep mine for a few more years.

I'm keeping mine until either the engine blows or I somehow start making a crap ton more money.

Seen a few 13's in other parts of the country go for 12-13k with 50k miles or less.

Anybody else have an issue with their phone saying no simcard was active? Ive had my phone for almost 2 years, so its definitely activated... galaxy note 5. Did a factory reset about 15 minutes ago and all seems well...so far.

It will never sell for 15995 IMO, my 13' Argento with 34k miles has no one bidding 15k. I didn't expect to get kicked in the ass this hard by depreciation

I was having the same issue, motorola moto x pure edition.

Pulled the simcard out of the phone and reseated it, all fine and dandy for a week now.

I tried to find the little pin i needed to pull it out but i couldnt find it. Just did a factory reset instead. If it happens again Im going to have verizon either get me a new sim card, or get me a new phone.

A K20/24 would be worth it for a built engine, which would certainly be a lot of fun. I would probably do forged high compression pistons, rebalance the crank to match, titanium and inconel valves. The great thing about the K engines is that upgraded parts are SO cheap compared to Toyota engines. That combo should be good for a reliable and efficient 240bhp or so.

How about a J engine?

Basically any V6 requires some cutting, so no. A K engine or 2AR is the way to go. A 986 or SW20 is a better chassis for a V6.

At moment youtube became a tutorial how to teach a girlfriend to drive manual, hoosers, crappy background music, what you hate on your ride and the infamous daily vlogs.

Just looked at Crutchfield. 3 decent options been $150 and 200$. All look pretty compact

I mean, I do have some money sitting around in a savings account waiting on a rainy day. But I'm not sure I want to dig into that just yet.

I guess if I could find something all said and done for $350CAD or thereabouts, I'd probably jump all over that.
