After searching for months I finally found a car to replace the Xterra as my daily driver.

It's a 2005 Subaru WRX Wagon with a manual, of course. Overall, the car is super clean and since it was a Raleigh car its whole life, there is basically no rust on it, even under the car. It looks almost as good as my M3 rust wise and that's saying a lot.

So far the only issue that I've found is that it has a leaky valvecover gasket on the passenger side. I knew about this before I bought it and I'm planning on fixing it tomorrow evening as long as the gasket shows up. Right now, smoke pours out of the hood scoop while it's not moving.

The only mod that it has at the moment is a STi hood scoop. Since this is my daily driver, I'm probably not going to do any sort of power mods since I'd rather keep it reliable at this point. I'll probably put a catless uppipe at some point because why the hell would they ever put a cat before the turbo. Otherwise, some planned mods are a catback for the boxer rumble, STi wheels, and maybe the STi splitters on the front bumper. Since these cars are prone to paint fade, I'm also planning on having it detailed and applying Opti Gloss coat (Opti Coat 2.0 replacement) to keep the paint nice and fresh. This should also help keep it clean since it's going to be serving as a daily driver and I won't want to wash it constantly.

Initial driving impressions are good. It's a far more relaxed car than the M3 to drive. The gears are long, it has plenty of torque without revving it out every gear, and the suspension is a good mix of sporty and floaty for a daily driver. Overall I'm going to enjoy driving this thing way way more than the Xterra and as long as it doesn't give me a lot of problems, I hope to keep it for a while.

On to pictures. The first mini project I did with this car is take care of the yellow faded head lights. I spent my Sunday afternoon wet sanding, polishing, and clear coating the headlights and they came out pretty good. There is still some sort of fading going on inside the headlights, but the outsides are now very clear and I'm happy enough with how they look to leave them as they are now.

Dirty but works great. Mostly just used for tire rotations. Sells new for $179, $75 for any MM'er.

A meeting that should have been an email lead me to bored interneting and ended in me buying a soda blaster.

Tried it out on that e34 oil pan, and I really like it, although it makes way more dust than I realized. Respirator and maybe one of those paint suits would be recommend. Actually a cabinet would be way better but I don't know how you'd see what you were doing.

Selling my Contour Roam2 camera that I found while doing some spring cleaning... unfortunately no mounts (it'll screw into a tripod mount though), charger (it's just a mini or micro USB cable), or SD card. The specs on the camera can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Contour-ROAM2-Wat...ds=contour

Looking for $65 + shipping

Looking to buy a used/rebuilt t56 for my 86 camaro. I will entertain offers just looking to see if anyone has a lead or deals around. I would prefer the ls1 style transmission so that i do not have to convert it to the style I need but will be willing to work out a deal on other styles. I will take down the thread once I find what im looking for.

Thank you,

Ok I'm gonna go ahead and throw this up here.

I just submitted my old phone for a warranty replacement so I ought to have a new-in-box one in a week or two. Aside from the little issue with the 'pre-509' serial numbers eating their own motherboards it is a decent enough phone, for Android. I will sell it new-in-the-box for $200 for MMers and throw in a 64GB micro SD card (giving you 96GB of total storage) and I believe I have a couple extra batteries and a battery charger for it. No photos cause it's gonna be a new phone, google it, it'll look like that.



Also going to sell the LG Watch. The faces are just so limited with the iOS phones that I'm not interested in keeping it. Here she is in all her former glory.



The face has minimal wear and tear, just some light surface scratches from normal use that aren't very noticeable. I will include the OEM wristband which is practically unused, plus the brown band I wore it with which does show signs of use. $125 for MMers.

Dell Dimension 4500, 2ghz P4 chip, 512 MB ram, clean install of Windows XP Home and Office 2000. Good as a garage PC or something to shoot at. Free99, I work in Herndon if you want to pick it up there, otherwise it goes to Goodwill.

Started this thread for the radar detector but we're trying to clean some stuff out ahead of an upcoming neighborhood yard sale. I thought I would go ahead and consolidate into one thread, so I will update this as we dig stuff up that is of any value and isn't headed to the donation bin

Also have a Rossignol "Burn" snowboard from probably 10 years ago. Cosmetically in "ok" shape, saw some grind rails and such during it's life. It's a million degrees down here pretty much all year so I haven't used it in years, would be a great freestyle / beater board as it's only a 136 I believe. Original K2 Clicker bindings are on there, the boots were in rough shape though so I threw them out....just swap over your bindings and you are good to go. $40


Speaker and speaker stand - Sold
Mini Jambox, Green - Sold
GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition + Accessories and Case - SOLD
Escort Passport 9500ix Radar Detector - SOLD

Hit me up if you are interested! :thumbup:

If I could I would buy this car in a heartbeat right now. Currently an MMers car. We should keep it in the fam. Someone buy it.

Owner is Marshal Riggs

I'm not sure which day is best to go to as they are separate points events, but I plan on giving away one of my shifts at work to head down and test out my Miata. Anyone else going?

If my buddy doesn't want to co-drive my Miata, it'll be open to any of y'all.

$65 for both days. $40 for just one.
