Wow, that is horrible sad news. I wonder why there's so much gravel on it?! Doesn't make much sense to me. Thanks for the heads up though, I appreciate it.

The good news is, the southern half of 130 from the Junction to Mt. Hamilton/San Jose is still in pretty good shape. I think I will be doing more drives along that southern half this year.

Welp waiting in line at City Toyota atm .

Have a small puncture in the rear tire , might as well take advantage of that free tire repair :p

When I get a flat I have to call some one to stop by my house and get one of my AutoX wheel/tire since I can't safely fit the spare tire anymore. Well that's what I did when I got a flat a few months ago! The tire shredded though, not just a puncture. Super lucky the tire didn't damage the car when it came apart at 70.

That's so crazy ! Glad the car didn't get damaged !

On a complete side note does anyone have a spare oem wheel and tire I may borrow for a couple of days ? I am supposed to be going to socal and driving on a spare may be sketchy .

Let me know , I'll buy you some coffee

Me too! It just left a lot of black marks on the body that all came off easy with clay bar.

If I had a stock wheel/tire I would let you borrow it, but I don't have one. lol. I'm sure someone will come through!

Clipdat · 02-01-2015, 11:01 PM

LOL @ the guy who called a passing play on the 1 yard line.

tigermack · 02-01-2015, 11:29 PM

That was a head scratcher, you have the best running back in the game for situations like this. You had 2 more downs and a timeout, you go for a pass???

finch1750 · 02-01-2015, 11:33 PM

Yeah, forget about Brady.

Seriously. All of us Pats fans were already accepting defeat... not that I'm complaining too much but that shouldn't have happened. Glad it did though

Best part of the game:

Clipdat · 02-03-2015, 02:49 PM

This is looking pretty sweet, imo.

The 2.3-liter engine has been substantially altered from the version that powers the Mustang, with a new low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger and a bigger intercooler, along with a revised cylinder head and stronger cast-iron cylinder liners.

Ford promises a “free-revving top end”—that doesn’t sound like the Mustang EcoBoost to us—with a maximum rev limit of 6800 rpm. Taken together, that has us thinking that the finished car could produce more than 325 horsepower—possibly quite a bit more.

BigFatFlip · 02-03-2015, 03:13 PM

Not bad. I really wished they did something better than putting a mouth guard looking cross beam to fix that ginormous maw (wasn't a big fan of it on the fiesta st either). Oh well, nothing some HELLA rally lights couldn't fix.

If Subaru doesn't come out with an STI wagon, I'll definitely be considering one of these as my dad mobile.

BlaineWasHere · 02-03-2015, 09:15 PM

If I find $40k under my mattress I'll buy one.

Just read somewhere it'll be manufacture in Germany, so yes $40k sounds about right.

Buddy of mine is already planning on trading in his Focus ST at some point in the future.
