Since I can't imagine a better troll than Dr. Goodspeed's recent rx-7, I figured I'd try something a bit different.

I already bought and picked up a vehicle. I know, I know, go get your pitchforks for not having an 8 page thread on what to get. Now you guys have to guess what it was a la 20 questions style.

Rules:
1. We'll start it live at 9a on Friday, please no questions until then.
2. First to correctly guess the year, make & model in a single post is the winner.
3. I can only answer with yes/no.
4. You may ask unlimited questions, but only one per post.
5. You may only guess at the answer one time, if incorrect you may not guess again and are ineligible for winning the grand prize.
6. I hold the right of refusal to answer any question, or to change the rules as we go to account for inadvertent plot holes.
7. Read the rules, Brandon.

Prizes: I'll figure something out for the winner and maybe some consolation prizes for clever questions.

Examples:
"does it have 2 doors" or will it hold x people" will get a response.

"Is it a [manufacturer]" or "was it made in [decade]" won't.

I picked up something new and it's time to sell my F150. It's been a bad-weather daily and tow pig for me, not daily driven unless there was a need for Truck Stuff.

Notable Stuff:

• 5.0L Coyote V8
  
• 72k Miles
  
• SuperCrew cab - backseat leg room that rivals limos, really
  
• 5.5' bed with "Access" soft bed cover and LineX spray-in liner
  
• FX4 trim - includes skid plates, unique 20" wheels, 4x4, all-weather floormats and rear diff locker
  
• 3.73 rear end
  
• Extended range 36 gallon fuel tank
  
• Factory "max tow" package with OEM trailer brake controller - rated to 9300 lbs, I believe
  

• Alpine W957HD head unit with navigation, Bluetooth streaming, USB, and OBD-II live data
  
• Factory backup camera in tailgate using thicker Ford logo
  
• Hawk LTS brake pads (6k miles of use)
  

As many of you know my luck with cars running has be pretty poor and the mini has lived up to reputation. However, I'm going to continue with the full track ready, Miata destroyer plan. 


The mod list right now is: resonator delete, fortune 500 coil overs, adjustable end links, everything that has to do with coolant is either new or upgraded, and k&n panel filter. 

Next summer mod plans: Snead4speed aero kit, O.Z. Ultra leggera w/ federal 595srr, cat delete and cob access port, or any other suggestions. Each comma separates one thing per summer b/c they are around 1500, excluding the cob and cat delete. 

Time for a FWD champion!

Got a full size freezer/fridge for the garage so this needs to go.

Keeps my beer at a cold 38 degrees without issue, can go colder, but will freeze the beer. Has a small freezer section perfect for ice packs or Everclear.

$40, juice boxes and beer do not convey, but stickers do. Can include wooden platform it is sitting on if you want it.

Pickup in RVA

Can deliver to VIR October, or JMU on a home game weekend.

Anyone else interested in doing an event with a top speed portion? Now that I actually have the proper speed rating on my tires and a decent alignment, I'd love to see what I can get it up to on a runway. The only events I've seen cost around $200 and that doesn't seem worth it to me, but curious to know if others would be interested or if they know of something like this.

I'd like to see the MMoped there for sure

My grand plans to move into the District require downsizing to just one street car. Obviously, the convertible needs to go. I thought about keeping the F150, but it's just tall and long enough to be annoying in city driving - especially for underground parking, which will be the parking situation wherever I end up living. 

So, back to a bigish SUV. I wanted something "nice," that would tow well but also be good for road trips and errands and such. My shopping list and thoughts:

• Porsche Cayenne GTS (first gen) - cramped inside, felt kind of slow, people paid how much for this when it was new?
  
• Audi Q7 - the plumbing aisle at Home Depot is more interesting to look at than this, interior feels ooold
  
• VW Touareg (first gen) - tough to find one with a V8, similar cramped interior as the Cayenne
  
• Jeep Grand Cherokee (2013+) - hard, uncomfortable seats and trim already falling off the one I drove with just 15k miles
  
• BMW X5 (E70, 2011-2013) - the V8s all go kaboom and the diesels eat every piece of emissions equipment repeatedly, requires aftermarket hitch to tow as much as the others
  
• Dodge Durango (the newish one) - it's a stretched JGC, didn't even drive one as the looks kind of put me off
  

Hey all we'll be having an informational meeting this friday!! in ISAT 350 @ 6:00 PM. We will be going over the ins and outs of autocross and how it all works with classing, working, heats, etc.

My name is Colin and I am a freshman geology major from Alexandria, VA. I became interested with cars at a young age, due to my uncle and grandfather both having a passion for automobiles and taking me to car shows. Currently, I do not own a car, as I am lacking cash, but I'm working on that. I don't really have an idea of what I would want to buy, so suggestions are welcome. I am looking forward to what MM has to offer and perhaps learning more about working on cars. 

Our installation of phpBB dated back to my sophomore year at JMU, which was... a while ago. It was time for an upgrade. So, here we are on myBB now.

There will be some bumps in the road as we work on fully migrating to the new software. Please leave feedback here and I/others can address it. I'll be working on getting user ranks back. Avatars should be able to be uploaded to the site now (!). 

The forums natively support video embeds from several sources, but you will have to go back and update old video links unless I can figure out a mass query to run that updates 'em all. Give me a bit on that, or if someone else is good with queries, hit me up.

Love and this-feels-a-lot-like-my-day-job,
