I'm trying to figure out how this happens? Did he use a bank transfer to pay for it? :confused:
A bank check, that cleared because it was made out to a person and there is an investigation (he was one of a few that fell or it). As far as I know, he has no recourse, the ATF has the info, but the money is long gone and there were no guns to be had.

<edit> Fun act: Paypal doesn't do gun sales (I had no idea). :rofl:

tire monkeys-anyone have good luck with buying from tirerack.comand shipping to one of their local installers for installation?
I have gotten my last set for the Vette from there because that was the tire I was replacing and had the local shop mount and balance for $25 each. fast shipping and great service. I usually go to Discount Tire when available, otherwise it is Les Schwab.

I've had good luck with my local Discount Tire. They pricematch Tire Rack and stock Nokian.

Good news internet friends! I get to keep my job and do not have relocate in order to do so. Annual review, incentive communication and merit increase also delivered and, while not as good as last year, I did earn a new Subaru. Shopping for new car will commence shortly. :)

While I really wouldn't mind unemployment / early retirement, waiting until 55 is a much better plan.

One of these if I can find one.

I have gone to Discount Tire lately and they match the Tirerack price.

In hell. Welcome!
two beers got me through shoveling 1/3 of the driveway. fucking east coast shit snow. gonna need some shed trips to finish the job.
It's coming down hard here now but the snow feels like wet concrete - wet, heavy, packed down. When it refreezes, it will become one. This will ruin the trails for days and days, eff.

In a van.... down by the river
DC I assume? How are conditions below the wall. I rode there last with jstuhlman last summer and it was pretty washed out and 'native'.
No idea - I've been riding South Valley (with some K/C thrown in) since I'm fucking WAY out of shape.

I'd imagine DC conditions are even more "au naturale" then when you blokes rode it.

Those Crosstreks are pretty cool.

But damn, the engine they stick in it is some serious weaksauce.

Fair point but my buddies with Crosstreks uniformly complain that when loaded with more than the driver (ie full of bike shit and friends) the car can't get out of its own way. There are good examples of small, relatively efficient motors that would elevate the Crosstrek fun and function.

The stupid thing is that Subaru already has those engines. :busted:

Honest question: which engine does subaru offer that is efficient and has some power? I know the WRX is bad ass but as you know, not really a fuel sipper... I was envisioning one of the tiny turbos like Honda has been putting out.

Guns America? (ironic? Yes) I can't go there (weapons blocked at work) but I think it is a message board type sale site?

@SuboptimusPrime not as efficient, but I bet the engine out of the BRZ/Toyota 86 would drop right into the Crosstrek.
wouldn't hold my breath on that one. that car was a joint project with toyota and wasn't design around AWD. so you may be able to "make it work" in the loosest sense of the phrase, but would be surprised if it offered any improvements.
