  1. I’m considering this exact swap for my 3.6R Outback too. Hopefully, I can get a few more years out of the Subaru first though 

    Never had any issues with my 3.6s and it was our third one. Not a fan of their CVT tranny paired with the 2.5 four in the new one. CX has more torque and like most all Mazdas it’s just more fun to drive.
  2. The 2.0 turbo four is becoming the 5.x liter V8 of the modern car.  I have one rated at 295hp in my lil caddy, the other option was the 3.6NA V6.  The tuner boys like the four better because there are more tunes and aftermarket shit for it, where 4-500hp is not out of the question, once you put in forged pistons and rods and some other stuff.

    Wife just replaced her aging 6cyl Outback with a Mazda CX 50 2.5 Turbo. Liking it so far.

    First time I’ve dealt with a dealer since 2015. Still a PITA.

  3. i just learned that in the current c63 mercedes went away from their v8 down to a 2 liter 4 cylinder (!!!)... but it still makes 480hp? the fuck? and it has electric motors too for 680hp combined peak? bizarro universe up in here

    Pretty amazing what they are doing with 4 bangers. And the 3 cylinder Yaris/Corolla engine is a beast.
  4. So if we are gonna do Vouchers soon, can I get money back for other social services that I pay for but dont elect to receive?

    I plan to invoke my Sovereign Citizen rights.

    What the fuck do they know about cars?! 

    Happy 35th birthday Miata.

  6. I don't think he wants to destroy the Republican party. He simply doesn't care one way or another as long as he's a free man and can live like a rich asshole.  However, how much concerted effort would it take to start a deep state Q-anon rumor that Trump is a manchurian candidate hired by Soros to make Republicans forget true conservative values like small government and also making Republicans look ridiculous by forcing them to embrace a man who cheated on his wives, cheated on his taxes, cheated on his contractors, cheated on his Trump U students, cheated on his charities etc... i.e. everything the Republican party DOESN'T stand for? 

    Been telling MAGAts since 2020 that Soros hired him to destroy the Party.

    Lately I throw in when he was rushed to Walter Reed it was so the Deep State Drs. Could reboot and do a software upgrade to the chip they had installed.

    Should they question me I tell them I read it on The Internet and they should do their OWN research.

  7. Man, I absolutely love Cracker.  I wasn't the biggest CBV fan, but when Johnny Hickman joined up with David Lowery, sparks flew.  I've seen them a few times and they always bring it.

    Saw CVB open for The Smithereens at the Bronco Bowl in 1990. Last tour before they broke up I think. Great show! Would love to see Cracker.
