#2. Smith and Wesson Model 1955 Target Revolver in 45ACP

The serial number dates it to a late 1955/early 1956 production. For those that don’t know about this rare revolver, it is chambered in 45ACP and has a 6 inch barrel. This is an extremely clean shooter. It does not come with the original box. There is some wear to the bluing but no rust or pitting at all! $1,000 OBO

Picked up a 98 wrangler for dirt cheap, has a blown head gasket and threw a rod, dropping in a new 4.0 and going to have some fun with it although my boyfriend will be using it as a daily. Has 33" mud tires, and not sure if the lift, I'm ready to have some fun and go mudding!!!

I know none of you fuckers are going to buy it but find someone that will or tell me where else to post this besides FB Groups

With the kid coming along, I was "relegated" to driving our Clubman as a daily driver. It was a fun car for about the first two years, but it grew a bit tired over the last two years. Wow... didn't even realize we've had that car this long. Anyway, the things that annoyed me about Mini really started to pile up during my daily commute. Perhaps the most egregious is it's sprung way too stiff for city driving, especially one that still has cobblestone and concrete roads (in places). Combine this with runflats and you've got a car that is pretty jarring to drive with a nasty habit of wheel spin and torque steer going up some of the steep hills in this city. As in, it was not uncommon for the wheels to break loose and compromise your ability to steer the car if you hit the right/wrong patch of road. Other annoyances are a nigh impossible time of getting a kid in the backseat with the suicide third door, a lack of bluetooth audio support, no heated seats, road noise, and doors that are long enough that your choices during egress are rest them against the car next to you or have them snap back and try to kill you while you're exiting the vehicle.

There were some things the Mini did right. It was good for squeezing through small openings in traffic/garages and we often parallel parked in spots that other cars simply wouldn't fit in. It was an incredibly efficient use of space; we packed it full of stuff more than once for camping trips, etc. Unfortunately, these were not enough to overcome the shortcomings... especially with the CPO warranty expiring in a few months. Data point: The ignition coil went bad a few months ago, even though the car was only five years old and had ~40k miles. It would have cost $1,000 to replace it.

So, a few months ago, I started looking into replacements. Requirements included:

> Wagon, five door to be exact
> As similar in size to the Clubman as possible
> Not slow, slushy, or lame
> Automatic (don't hate; I commute 3.5 miles in a hilly city, drive 2500 miles/year, and I have a 3-pedal 911)
> Back up camera
> Heated seats
> Bluetooth audio
> As close to $20k as possible
> At least a three year warranty

There was only ever one choice.

I looked around at small hatchbacks and the GTI kept showing good reviews and topping "best of" lists. It really didn't hurt that VW's still dealing with dieselgate fallout and prices reflect that. I'd planned to get a 2016 CPO, since that's my MO, but prices for '16s were in the $20k-$21k range and VW's CPO warranty doesn't really extend the original warranty (which is lame). In my search, I stumbled across a couple new '17s in the boonies (read: Bend, OR) that were listed in the $22k-23k range. Nothing in/near Seattle was even remotely close, until two weeks ago when I spotted one in Olympia, WA (60 miles away) listed at $22,750. It turns out that had the $1000 VW loyalty cash added, which wasn't applicable. After all that was worked out, I got a written price quote from the dealer in Olympia and emailed it to the dealer near my house. They originally dismissed me, but a few emails and head fakes later, they agreed to honor the price because I "work for Amazon and we have a partnership agreement." I ended up getting it for $23,757, which I'm happy with given MSRP is $27,500 and TrueCar is $25,775. I put $10k down, which is about what I think I'll get for the Clubman S (42k miles).

Overall, I'm impressed with the car I got for the money. The fit/finish is really nice and the interior is far more my style than the cartoonish one the Mini has. I've literally put 20 miles on it, so I don't have a lot of feedback about the drive. I can say it feels WAY faster than the 30 extra hp would suggest. The lag is about 1/3 that of the Mini and the shifts seem relatively seamless by comparison. The bullshit the Mini did driving up hills and over rough road is non-existant... so much so that my wife commented the GTI seemed way more stable than the Mini after a single one mile ride. I have one complaint, so far. The side bolsters are pretty dramatic; I'm wide enough that I can't press my back flat against the seat back - have to angle ever so slightly. I'm up ~20 lbs where I was this time last year and ~40 lbs where I want to be, so it's 100% my fault and I'm hoping this is added motivation to make it a short term issue.

Plans:
> Tint
> Gas
> Drive
> ????
> Profit

First off, the Wordpress version we have running is almost 8 years old.

I'm not going to try to do it myself because

1) I don't want to mess it up
2) I believe it's so old that you won't be able to update automatically
3) I really don't want to mess it up

The newer wordpress version is easier to work with and would allow us to easily add a Twitter widget on the side below the Donate and Facebook widget. I update the twitter often and before every event, so I feel like it could be useful. It's hard to keep the wordpress blog as updated as it should be.

[youtube]qq1YS77qpVk[/youtube]

[youtube]pNhDpjzeMD8[/youtube]

Time for the official thread! There is a Facebook event page that is private. If you did not recieve and invite, please let me, the other officers, or Dave know and we'll fix it.

Where: Dave's house.
109 Leavel Ct,
Bridgewater, VA
22812

When: February 11th starting at NOON

What: Alums and students from all years come together for a pot luck. A duck is shoved inside a chicken, inside a turducken and lots of beer is consumed. Knowledge and grumpiness is passed from alums to students and someone rides a BMX bike through the house.

Dave has children, and children will be welcome at the party, so please remember this isn't a party where you can throw a log through the window and shotgun on top of his car. His neighbors are close so please be respectful of the neighborhood. If you want to get rowdy, there will be a party at my place afterwards.

We will need some help buying the turducken. We have most of it covered, but please contribute if you'd like. If not, please bring a dish or beverage. A signup sheet is located here.

AFTER PARTY

Things should die out at or before 6. This is when people are welcome to come over to my house for a more college-esque college, but still suitable for you older folks.

Where: Taylor's house
502 Snowberry lane
Harrisonburg, VA
22801

When: After 8 or 9 unless you want to hang while I set up. We can play some rockband and grow out our mohawks too.

What: Party/drink/dance. I'll try to provide juice and other things, but if anyone wants to contribute a few dollars or a cheap case of beer, that'd be splendid. I will not use club money for alcohol, but I also refuse to through a BYOB party. I have a pretty big house and lots of things to do, so it'll be fun for all. There is a public event for this.
