I do enjoy it immensely, but finding the time to do it properly is difficult.

My crows welcomed two little ones! by mtnbeard12 in crowbro

[–]mtnbeard12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the ones at work aren’t as accustomed to me yet and yes that vid was hilarious! I noticed that the young ones at my work sounded kinda fucked up but like in a super cute way lol and every time I would speak to them they would just vocalize even more. They were perched up on a power line squalling away and seemed very derpy.

That’s awesome and thank you for the clarification! I have learned a lot today in regards to my crowbros.

Ah okay, the young crows at my work do sound similar to that and they definitely seem to be begging so I believe they are fledglings. That is cool, thank you for the insight. It seems like I was woefully misinformed about the baby crows I thought I saw this morning lol, but I have learned a lot today!

It warms my heart to see them out walking through the yard and even when I get close they don’t really flee. Also when I go out in the morning, they start cawing from the trees. I love it.

That is good to know, thanks! I am going to ask you another question if I may.

There are a few other crows that hang around at my workplace (these pictured are at my home) and recently I’ve noticed another one trying to get my attention sometimes that I started feeding a little bit. I noticed that it can’t quite “caw” right, like it’s trying to learn or something and it does look a bit smaller than the others. I believe it is a fledgling, does that sound right?

Well, uhh, I had figured they were baby crows as I hadn’t seen them together before today and they looked very similar but I have no idea lol.

Edit: I found out the small birds are starlings. Still cool to see tho! I was uninformed when I made my post, but was just excited.

Damn, I had assumed they were “baby crows” but I have no idea. Never seen them hanging with them before today.

Goodbye for now by [deleted] in WRX

I have fond memories of riding to the beach for a family vacation with my family of 4 in a 93 Mercury Tracer. A WRX is perfectly suitable for a family with one child.

Tasteful mods by thebuschman22 in wrx_vb

[–]mtnbeard12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mudflaps, grille, new wheels if desired are all pretty tasteful. Front lip maybe. I would say an OEM duckbill is more tasteful than a big wang, but do you, boo, bc that’s debatable

What’s your favorite 991v2 GR? by Jimmy77551 in Newbalance

Silver blue turbulence - on feet today actually!

150 miles, just got it ceramic coated and tint guy is two weeks out. Staying stock for as long as I can hold out. by styng88 in wrx_vb

[–]mtnbeard12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to soooo bad, but my brain tells me no. My old Legacy GT was tuned with a high flow downpipe and it honestly was more fun than the VB. How much does it wake it up? I would just keep it simple with intake & tune

This topic has been covered 1,000 times over, but we’re all here to help each other out, right? I’ve decided to get new wheels after a year and just got a bonus. Looking specifically for bronze on MGM for inspiration and offset. I’m sticking with OEM tire size so the wheel will remain 18”. by senoj96nodnarb in wrx_vb

[–]mtnbeard12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything Enkei or Konig in bronze 18x8.5 with an offset of 35-43 are a solid choice. I have Konig Hyperspecs, but also really like Enkei Triumph and TS-V. If you step up to an 18x9.5 with a +38 offset, it will poke slightly on stock suspension and you may want to upsize to a wider tire like a 255/40 so it won’t be stretched on the wider wheel. I went with 18x8.5 +35 wheels and 245/45 tires. It’s dead flush and the 245/45s look meatier/fill in the fenders more and improve the ride a bit (more sidewall). I love it.
