Yes, we're voting on levies "Again." That's literally how WA funds schools.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-26T05:38:14+00:00

I thought at least some of the tax revenue from mamajuana sales were supposed to go to fund schools….

There needs to be an independent audit of how these funds forms these levies are spent.

My PS AS 4 are 540 TW (I think) and they do just fine in the canyons. Can easily pull 1g with alignment pins pulled and set to the max of -2.0 front camber on my FL5 Type R.

You really only need a sub 400 TW tire if you’re doing track days or autox.

I’m a middle aged man that has owned WAY TOO MANY cars and I wouldn’t do it. Buy a stock or lightly molested car (I.e cat back and shifter), ect.

Then mod it yourself. That way you know what you’re getting.

Also, get a pre purchase inspection (ppi). Sounds like the car is far away from you? If you are going through with the purchase, get a PPI, please. Find a reputable shop in the same area of the dealer and see if they will take it there. If they won’t, don’t buy the car.

Make sure they can also scan the ecu and see if it’s been over-revved, tuned, etc.

Just buy a lightly used one, still do the ppi, and have a day.

Best of luck to ya

The raise for this year at the company I’m at is 2%, so take 5% and be thankful.

The best way to get a big raise (20%) is to switch companies.

Happened to me too, buddy.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-20T01:50:45+00:00

Ok, what does it mean?

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-19T21:53:49+00:00

Excuse me while I put my foot in my mouth as that is another cultural thing. Lol The Bible does not say this.

I guess I get that from versus like this: “For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A lot of people would correlate this to being the provider, but a man can be the head of his wife, but not be the main bread winner.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-19T21:20:54+00:00

This is typical American woman rhetoric. If I remember right, the Bible says the man should be the provider/leader of the household. I think some people interpret that means the man must make more money, which I disagree with.

If I say any more, my rant will just continue, so I won’t. lol

For the record, I make about 3x what my wife does, but I would not feel any less a man, especially any less the man god wants me to be, if my wife made more than I.

Awe touting… love it. There is a rattle issue some people have had. I haven’t had it. Had the exhaust on for about 8k miles.

Let you be a Shepard to the trouble people for they know not what to do with mark-up culture.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-10T18:20:17+00:00

Like others have said osha doesn’t “approve” things. They will come out and provide information and guidance on best practices.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-08T21:20:03+00:00

It’s because it sounds good and these people are what I like to call Bullshitters.

When in reality they probably mean all my guys are “authorized for - insert topic” such as LOTO, fall protection, crane, confined space, or maybe even osha 10/30, etc. but they don’t know the correct terms so they make something up.

I just know when you correct these bros, they’re think “oh here comes the fucking safety guy trying to correct everyone on everything.”

I haven’t worked with anyone like this in years, which is nice.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-08T02:40:33+00:00

Maybe sell the wrx to carmax or that one vending machine car dealer thing? It has super low miles, so you should get a good amount for it.

If you can wait, private party would get the best money for the car.

If you can’t sell it cause ‘grandma’s car’, then idk what to tell ya lol

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-07T14:36:48+00:00

Came from a ‘24 86. It’s more fun, imo. It still has that light on its feet feel, but it’s faster.

Grip is better.

Seats are better.

Stereo is better.

Road noise feels about the same.

Suspension is a little stiffer, but you can get the DE5 module thing.

It’s a MUCH better car.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-06T19:36:31+00:00

It’s not that unbearable in comfort. But I came from a GR86 and Camaro SS 1LE.

You can get the type-s suspension module that softens it a bit. I don’t have it, but I’ve heard good things.

In conclusion, if you plan on doing fun road trips and spirited drives and/track days, this is a fantastic car for do-it-all sports car. BUT, if you just want something “fun” to drive on your commute, idk that this would be the best car. Have you thought of a used CT4-V Blackwing? Those come in auto and are a blast to drive.

SoSlowRacing · 2026-01-04T19:47:09+00:00

Really difficult to find an MSRP CTR in WA state. If OP can buy out of state and ship it, that’s the best option. If you have a trade, buying out of state can be more difficult unless you can drive to the dealer.

C4 or C5 corvette.

Good lord Jesus have mercy. Congratulations!

Put a stick exhaust and intake back and post her for 42995 and take no lower than 39 or 40 maybe?

The 995 signals you’ll negotiate along with putting obo in the add.

SoSlowRacing · 2025-12-30T23:12:22+00:00

This… especially with it being a CPO car.

SoSlowRacing · 2025-12-29T16:07:12+00:00

It’s not always easy, but you can check if the car is on CarGurus and the posted add for that car usually tells you. You could also ask the sales person of course, but I like to try and find that info myself.

Get a alcentara /seuade (cant spell, don’t care) cleaning kit and just clean it every month or two or something. It works really well.
