This Monday today is a glorious day.

I am thrilled to declare that my 2013 Scion FRS has been paid off in full. I bought her brand new with 10 miles on the ODO in August 2013, and with the added leather seats total cost was about 30k. Now about 5 years and 80,000 miles later she is completely mine.

Days like today don't come often enough!

Suh-weet!

Congratulations!

Congrats!

Now drive it till the wheels fall off and save all the $ you can!

dude I sheared the rivets holding the unsprung hub on my clutch disc on my BPU 3000GT VR4 3 times. I got the metal tested and I forget what it was exactly but my friend told me, "there's no way in hell this should have broken.".

the only positive thing to come from that was I got to the point to where I could have the gearbox out and on the ground in under an hour. now twisting and turning that thing back up in there is another story.

Just bought 3M heavy duty outdoor double sided velcro. I'll find out how it goes.

3 times?!?! Damn dude! I had to replace wheel studs, brake caliper, got into a wreck & so on... but 3 clutch does sound sucks.

Slow day.

Just read about Teslas "fart app". More proof that Teslas are not my kind of car.

Also read about a Gallardo that was at sema. They made it look like a 2009 mustang. Well as much as the could. Spent $700000 on it.

WTF. Waste of time and $$$.

Whatever...

Not disagreeing with you one whether it was a waste of time or not, but wasn't it the other way around? I thought it was a 2009 Mustang with Gallardo running gear. That's how Barrett-Jackson has it listed:

Apparently Amazon is selling their own brand oil now, so that's a thing. I'd probably wait to see a Blackstone report or two, but it's neat to see a 5QT jug of Synthetic for around $20 I guess.
