    mine was pretty cool. I went to work, then came home and helped my friend pull the engine & tranny from his '94 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. afterwards, with freshly cleaned hands but SUPER dirty clothes, we went to Old Chicago for dinner on his dime. I got a free beer instead of dessert and no stupid singing. :)

    the weekend was fun with teh ladyfriend. ;)

    be with! Happy Birthday to you both.

    Let's just say that my year was the one before my favorite Chevy was built.

    Edmunds through the home PC, I get all of these "Auto by Tele" pop-ups - even with a pop-up blocker? A bit annoying.

    Well, i'd concur, it was pretty much a "Mass a Nuthi'", but i'll admit i'm spoiled with the Green Mtns in VT up here!

    Just curious (and cross-threading a bit here), but there was mention in the '05 Legacy/Outback thread about the add'l NE costs, and someone mentioned hopping a train and buying from the DC area. Would the savings be that significant in price to offset getting down there? Granted, it would make the first 1k go a bit quicker...

    While i'm at it, now that the Saabaru 92X is out, any chance of the WRX getting a sunroof? The one thing i wish i had in mine, although i hope to be upgrading to an OXT shortly... Just curious!

    Happy B-day Patti, Dennis, and Colin.

    Patti, as it's my birthday at the end of the week, please convince SOA to bring over the 3.0 R-B that Graham mentioned in post 21882. Doesn't have to be immediately, a year or two will be okay. I'm sure that juice will then dive off the fence!

    I believe the additional NE Distribution costs are about $390. In NY, there is a $5 distribution charge. If I can negotiate a decent deal with trade, I am seriously considering purchasing in NY. Van Bortel's seems do volume and quotes invoice.
  • bluesubiebluesubie Member Posts: 3,497
    And Happy Birthday to Jim!

    The timing was a coincidence, but we visted our daughter in Western VA (she's working to become a Pastry Chef).

    Had a very nice dinner and a great cake. The twisties were FUN and will be better next time with 17's and a short throw shifter. :-)

    I thought you'd be helping pull an engine on his birthday, LOL!

    WRX sedan had a moonroof option, but not the wagon, not even for 2005. 2006 maybe?

    Patti,

    I have the Google pop-up blocker installed and I haven't seen any Auto-by-Tel ads come up.

  • hypovhypov Member Posts: 3,068
    I have the google pop-up blocker too, but I don't get any pop-ups coming off from Edmunds' site - I've allowed pop-ups.
    You might have an adware embedded in your PC.

    it's definitely spyware. this website generates no pop-ups on its own!

    ~c
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Patti - ask for your IT folks to run SpyBot on your machine, that should remove it.

    Edmunds is (thankfully) pop-up free, which is more than you can say for a lot of automotive web sites.

    The worst offender is prolly Motor Trend. I refuse to even follow links there.

    she said home pc-- there are no IT folks for those usually. ;)

    Lucky IT folks, then. I do house calls all the time.

  • subearusubearu Member Posts: 3,613
    Patti: Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com and SpyBot http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html are two good spyware removers.

    <-- ...what's with the eBay ads over here?

    Ed
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Ka-ching :-)

    Steve, Host
  • kenskens Member Posts: 5,869
    <-- Yeah I noticed these too. Alcheeza lights and a Justy motor are the first two items!

    You mean you're not gonna buy that Pink "i" logo for your XT, Ed? ;-)

    Chat reminder for tonight!

    -juice
  • lark6lark6 Member Posts: 2,565
    Someone did mention eBay had thermal mugs that fit the XT cupholders in last week's chat, so it may be worth a look. Then again, Elissa told me about using the can coozies, so maybe not.

    Actually, in hindsight I did have a Forester GT/STi grille, with the infamous pink badge (Pleiades cluster, not "i") and came from Australia, on my first Forester. I got tired of keeping the big chrome bars polished and I liked the subtle difference of the black mesh. OTOH there was that "bling" factor of having an STi badge on a non-STi car, so I wouldn't do it again. I removed the grille and put the original back on the car when I traded it in, so I imagine I could sell it to someone.

    Related: I may have to travel to my company's Tokyo office early next year, so maybe a parts run in order...?

    as long as they aren't pop-ups...

    Steve, Host
  • lucien2lucien2 Member Posts: 2,984
    My eye, Ed!! You're going to have your hands full with that CrossSport grille and bumper skin!

    a belated happy birthday wish from me to Patti, Colin, and Dennis.

      Cheers Pat.

    I'm downloading away as we chat tonight.

    Patti
  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    May not make it tonight, as there is a shortage of computers in the house at the moment.

    Bob
  • subaru_teamsubaru_team Member Posts: 1,676
    late - gotta run out for a minute or so.

    Catch you soon.

    Patti
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Good to see Pat back at the chat, plus lots of tech talk with Ed and Colin. Where was Seth? This was the chat he'd been waiting for...

    Any how, I had to share what I thought was a HILARIOUS moment with Patti.

    So she gets a new loaner, and Outback, and we ask what it is. She says it's black and it's a "base" car.

    Plugging her for details, we find out it's an Outback Limited with Sportshift, heated leather, moonroof, loaded to the gills, accessorized, pearlescent paint, but ... no turbo.

    So to Patti, no turbo = "base" model. I was ROTFL after that...

    -juice
  • subearusubearu Member Posts: 3,613
    the Turbo has spoiled her. :-)

    sorry I missed the chat, had a toilet fill valve thing that needed replacing tonight.

    -Brian
  • subaru_teamsubaru_team Member Posts: 1,676
    there is no going back. But, after picking up the kids, one of the young men in the car commented that I drive it like a turbo anyway, so.....

    Patti
  • lucien2lucien2 Member Posts: 2,984
    Sorry. I've been propped up here in the living room watching DVDs (The Manchurian Candidate) with Q, and I just lost track of time.

    But for those "in the know" with earlier advice regarding the uhh...erm, side effects of Percoset- I am happy to report that the 36 hour drought has ended. :)
  • locke2clocke2c Member Posts: 5,038
    it lives eh? LOL

    ~c
  • jfljfl Member Posts: 1,399
    Watch it Colin!

    No LOL for Loosh! 8~0

    Jim
  • bluesubiebluesubie Member Posts: 3,497
    The only one out of a dozen representin' wagons and toasters.

    -Dennis
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    That's on DVD already? I thought it was still in theatres.

    Loosh: that's right, no laughing. Go spend the rest of the week in the Problems and Solutions threads. ;-)

    Any pics from the event, Dennis?

    Speaking of which, who's going to this?

    http://www.subaruchallenge.com

    There is one in Baltimore. It should be like what Bob and I got to do in Vegas, at least I hope so. You guys gotta go and report back to us!

    -juice
  • lucien2lucien2 Member Posts: 2,984
    the original with Sinatra and Janet Leigh, not the remake. ;-)

    I cancelled my registration for the Challenge; between the surgery and my broken lateral links, I decided it would be more stress than fun at this point.
       Plus, it is in Baltimore the way that other car event was in "D.C."- almost an hour away.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Ah. Was it good? We haven't seen either one.

    FWIW, Garden State was excellent. Both my wife and I loved it. Good character depth.

    Yeah, Ripken field is way north, outside the Baltimore beltway IIRC. It's right by I-95 so I see it often, even though I've never been there.

    -juice
  • lucien2lucien2 Member Posts: 2,984
    In the last 2 days I've watched that, "Big Night," "Bend it Like Beckham," "Hell Boy," "Y Tu Mama Tambien," and "Triplets of Bellevue."

    Ripken field is well outside the Beltway..it's 2-3 counties away.
