I figured I wouldn't post it here since no one uses US Cellular (I switched to Verizon because I didn't like them at all), but I guess it can't hurt.

16 GB Samsung Galaxy S5 in Black.
Carrier - US Cellular
Expandable memory via microSD
Never been out of case except to sell or switch cases
Perfect condition except for slight mark on charging door from use. Shown in pictures.
Included is charging cable and 2 LifeProof cases
One Case is missing the headphone plug, which was replaced under warranty, hence me having 2 cases

- $200 or something, I don't care, offer me some money.

Some of the cars on their list are stupid, but here are the standouts that I think a few people here would be interested in...

Ford Escort Cosworth RS
Ford Fiesta RS1800
Mazda Familia GT-R
Subaru Impreza WRX
Honda NSX-R

I would never sell a NSX-R if I could get my hands on one but they're at least $100k in Japan right now, and that's before you get into the export costs. Probably one of the few cars that's certain to rise in value.

Well after getting called out by Jake, I finally have time to sit down, have a beer, and write about car things.

After a friend had her car totaled by a 4 legged horse-sized stag, I stood by at a sleazy stealership and watched them try to sell her a ziptied-together POS Passat for $12k, so I said "hell, I'll give you my Yetta for $9k." After some discussion, she picked up the car, and I was left with some dolla dolla billz y'all and no car in 5° December weather. But it was time for something greater.

Lucky for me, there was a cl ad for a 2002 Miata just down the street in Harrisonburg, 82k miles, "great daily!" I went to go see it, but was a little disappointed at the price for the condition of the paint and the top, but good ole James and I got him down to a price I was comfortable with along with some extra goodies that I'll be putting up fs in the near future (anyone need a top frame?)

Rear tires were some ~4 month old Nitto NT450s, but the fronts were balding and had some bad camber wear, so before I left to see my parents today, I took it to blue ridge tire to have the fronts matched and a nice alignment done. Wow, what a difference. It felt like a brand new car after just that. Even better, the owner of that tire shop owns a 2002 SE that he tracks with SCCA, so before I could get out of the car, he was out the door walking towards me to talk about the car.

So plans thus far:
-sand/prime/paint hood, rear bumper, and RF quarter panel, at least get it so the clearcoat isn't peeling
-new soft top with plastic rear window
-rollbar
-aluminum radiator within next 5-10k miles (current stock one is starting to green a little bit)

And then by mid-summer, considering seats/harnesses depending on how much track time I'm getting, or K8Rs or similar light wheels with some nicer tires.

Day I got it (super salty)





Now just waiting for the custom plate from the DMV...

So the semester at my University in Beijing is wrapping to a close and I have about 5 weeks of vacay from the 17th of January to the 20th of February before the next semester. My plan is to at some point be in South Korea followed by Japan, perhaps into Vietnam or Malaysia too.

Question: Do any of you have suggestions of car/motorcycle-related stuff to do while I have free time? Drift events, JDM car rentals, motorcycle rentals, track days, or any other motoring related activity that would be open to a foreigner?

If you also have any suggestions regarding things I can do in the summer months before heading back to North America, that would be pretty cool as well.

Sup MM homeowners, in need of some landscaping recommendations for those in the know.

We love our lot for the new home, it backs partially to trees and entirely to a stormwater retention area that is full of cattails and such so it looks kind of like wetlands. However beyond that a few hundred yards away are the outskirts of a new neighborhood section in which they are building townhomes. The townhomes are elevated above the level of our yard so it will hurt some of the privacy for our backyard / living room / kitchen. The townhomes are under construction now but they are rocking on them and they will probably all be moved in to that section within the next 10 months.

The plan is to plant a bunch of trees back there in an "L" shape, across the entire back property line and up our side property line a bit. Assuming whatever we planted grew that would pretty much entirely block them from view. What we need though are trees that are:
a. Non deciduous
b. Fast growing
c. Thick, down far enough to the ground to offer visual privacy

Any thoughts recommendations? How much realistically should I budget for trees+installation if I don't feel like digging up my yard myself? I have no clue exactly how many I will need but I am guessing somewhere between 12-15. Thanks!

It works perfectly, I just dont use it

I don't think we have a thread on these things yet. Anyway, I'm just looking for general code reading/resetting functionality. I see them on Amazon from like $10 to a couple hundy, at which point I'd just get the BMW-specific Peake tool. I know a good few of you have used them - are all these things the same?

I don't know how to move posts, maybe one of the other admins can truck some of the Guilty Pleasures watch posts over here.

A watch brand I've kinda had my eye for awhile in the $1000 range is Hamilton (not throwing away my shot). Their aviation chronographs look pretty handsome and they a couple of other cool chronographs that aren't too gaudy. Too bad they don't have them on Eleven James so I could try some out.

So my mom has been rocking an '07 5spd Scion tC since new and in the course of ~90,000mi has completely degloved the original shift knob. The leather is hanging in tatters down on the shift boot and it grosses me out.

It's not something she'd ever buy for herself, but I'm sure she'd appreciate having a shifter that's all in once piece, so I was thinking I'd pick one up for her for Xmas. Except they're planning to visit this weekend (unless I-81 gets covered in ice Saturday morning) and I need to find something quick. On top of that, everything on Amazon is either dirt cheap crap and/or only appropriate for a 17 year old boy racer.

I realize this is a shot in the dark, but any chance someone has a decent, subtle, leather or even aluminum shift knob in 12x1.25mm threading laying around from an old car they want to get rid of?

My names Tyler Holt, I'm a senior studying Health Science here at James Madison University and as of today, I have 6 days until I graduate. I've had this car since I was 15 years old, got it used with a little over 9,000 miles on the meter. Today, it has around 88,500. I've driven the piss out of this car and it hasn't let me down yet, even on a 15 hour drive from Key West all the way back to my girlfriend's house in North Carolina. It's lightly modded with some of the worst parts my hard earned pocket change could buy. Mods include Raceland coilovers (rides like shit), Raceland catback (sounds like shit), eBay cold air intake which was later replaced with HPS short ram intake (whooshes like shit), TWM short-shifter (shifts alright), and Hella supertones (deafning as shit) for bonus street cred. Hopefully selling it soon though.
