Another BRZ on the forum? Welcome to the new ft86club.com forum, y'all.

We were a Corvette forum for a little while, neat to see a new emerging platform. Guess I need to get on the bandwagon...

You'd think so, but these press vehicle processing facilities are full of :derp: OEMs don't manage their own press vehicles, they have companies do that for them. I'd like to think that something like a GT3 RS gets special treatment, but it's entirely possible someone missed it and thus here is the...

Yea, it's like an hour+ outside of DC. Pretty suburban. MD gets pretty redneck trumpy outside the cities. So just school shootings instead of convenience store robberies. I'll feel right at home then. :| :rolleyes: Again, just want to see the sun sometimes and be close to things to see and do. Sinc...

2nd temp spot. New job is fully remote, but there will be some frequent travel to the HQ in Maryland. Michigan is incessantly :eeyore: gray for 6 months of the year, and :tits: and I have been discussing options to escape for a while. Maryland seems like it could be a great option to try, plus comp...

Wait Chris are you moving to DC or just a second temp spot? 2nd temp spot. New job is fully remote, but there will be some frequent travel to the HQ in Maryland. Michigan is incessantly :eeyore: gray for 6 months of the year, and :tits: and I have been discussing options to escape for a while. Mary...

that looks to be a non-murdery part of metro dc at least.

Alignments are critical to both feel and performance, it's frankly a joke that they're ignored by everyone outside of competitive motorsports. Very small changes, even all within manufacturer's "green zone" specs, can totally change the behavior of a vehicle. agree, but you have to think ...

@Chris, glad to see you're back and also to hear that you were able to take some computer free time. Congrats on the new gig, sounds like an amazing opportunity, I hope it works out for the best! Where in Maryland would the free.99 apartment be? This sounds like a 5/7 setup for you and Infamous, es...

It's clear rage has over taken reading comprehension. He only said the on center feel is better. I don't see how that's so hard to believe. With tuning of EPS systems it's entirely possibly some performance cars have had to sacrifice on center feel for off center feel, which could also be alignment...

Oh, and I've got one pan I don't use as much and I find that sometimes things can stick to it more than my other that I use all the time. Not sure if the seasoning dries up or something, but I do think there's something to frequency of use and non-stickiness. I try to rotate the pans I use, and it's...

Interesting. I guess not using it regularly enough is my problem. That makes sense as it does seem easier to clean sometimes than others. That’s really more than I want to have to think about it though. Y’all cast iron people even cook eggs in them? That is truly astonishing if so, if I tried to fr...

Unfortunately, I could really see the benefit of some driver assistance tech. Every time I get in the 4R for a long highway stint, I miss the Cucktrek a bit for Eyesight. It's nice to not have to focus so intensely on staying centered in the lane for hours on end, letting the car do it for you is s...

Career shit has been interesting here as well. I think I mentioned in the economy thread that my company had layoffs about a week and a half back. It's been an interesting ride here for the past couple of weeks. It turns out the entire sales org at our company is being completely revamped, several ...

Maybe they have improved, or he was that the steering seems to please for enthusiasts in his perspective for a mom mobile.

I don’t doubt that it’s great for what it is… But to utter it in the same sentence as a $200k rear engine track car?

My Camry is super kamfy-couch status and FE, I recommend this appliance.

Yea, I'll have to decide how much of an appliance I want. It's certainly something I'd consider for sure.

I just can't get into Lexus styling. Legit ugly IMO. It’s not really for me either. I agree that the A5 is hot, has been for a decade. Glad to hear you’ll give the Germans a look. Jade who used to be on Golfmk6 years ago has an S4 with like 150k miles and even that has been reliable. I think they’v...

The Legacy is larger and doesn't carry the insurance penalty of the WRX.

Or create de facto probable cause for every LEO in America.

Something under the radar would indeed be nice.

:wat: It's all I use. Other than being heavy, I don't see how it's worse than anything else. A well seasoned cast iron cleans easier than a "non stick" pan. Cast iron apologists all make this claim but it’s very far from my experience. Non stick is clean as a whistle in the dishwasher or ...

There's all sorts of non-stick options besides cheap teflon. We're waaaaaaay too lazy (and weak, frankly - that shit is heavy) to deal with cast iron and ended up just buying some new pans to work with our new induction stove. These things seem to be working pretty well so far, hard anodized non-st...

Apparently it's a big WRX just with the Ascent engine (less HP, more Torque, runs on donkey piss). I don't know why it hasn't gotten more press, I'm really curious about it. I bet if Subaru put a :manuel: in it, then people would start to pay attention. Oh, no doubt. That would be :mindblown:

I fucking loved the A5 rental I had. It did 34-36mpg from Rochester to Daytona and back. Legroom and headroom will be fine, but you'll be sitting next to or even slightly behind the b-pillar. That might not be a problem but for my dad, who is much older than you, he struggled to get in around it. T...

I'd have to drive one, but I suspect it would be too rough. The goal would be a sporty couch here. Yea Ironically it may be easier to find a WRX than a Legacy, they seem to be "rotting" on the lots here. Also the new WRX seems like it may be kind of soft... I'd say drive some to see? I'd ...
