First thanks for the best wishes. I'm not supposed to be laughing and you guys aren't helping here... hehehehe!!! The surgery went well and the doctor said I should have a quick recovery :fingers crossed:
Well, yesterday was pretty bad after the anesthia (sp?) was gone. So, I've been drugged, which has helped somewhat.
Today (day 2?), has been a minor improvement as my throat is still soar but not as bad as yesterday. I can have jello, custard, ice cream (believe it or not); I'm starting the ice cream today... some say it's not good because it can cause phlegm but that's patient's discretion. I have 6 pints of Haagan Daz waiting for me,
Luckily I don't have to talk while I post so, I'll try to be around unless the drugs get the best of me.
Thanks again

Welcome to this side of the fence, Rob! Congrats!
Just around 2000 miles, you'll notice the engine and tranny performance improve even more.
Could you post your comments between the previous-previous gen GT and the current one?
Ken
BTW, good luck trying to keep your revs down for 1000 miles!
Find a good window tint place (I remember a place out in Burlington that I had my car done at years ago- he used to do some of the Celtics cars) and don't forget to change the tires before next winter!
I wish I could make it to the chat to chat about your new ride!
tom
Hope your breathing gets better without tonsils- you might get more oxygen to your brain now!
tom
Congrats on the GT.

glad to see elm on the boards ...
Enjoy your recovery!
Jim
juice - sorry to leave you all alone on the fence. FWIW, my dw talked me out silver/black for the atlantic blue.
Pat - Best wishes for your daughter's recovery
Elm - Hope you feel better
LWC - Brendaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Colin - power corrupts : don't you know it, brother.
Ken - Comparison between the 99 GT and the 05 ??? The only thing I can come up with so far is that they both have hood scoops, but the one on the 99 was just for show!
Tom - I am so sorry .... I didn't buy it sooner! I did find the coolest STI trunk lip spoiler. Company works out of Nashua, NH. $650. I can send you the link.
Dave M - Don't you have to buy one now, seeing that we have matching Seamist Outbacks?
Everyone else - thanks!
Rob M.
I was waiting to see what you're buying to replace the OBW.
Do I see a pattern - '96 Spruce OBW, '03 Seamist OBW, '06 Seacrest Tribeca???
I'll probably end up getting an '06 base OBW.

I'm feeling alittle tired so I'm going to lay down for a bit.. all this reading consumed my energy and now I can hardly write... *sheesh*
Elm, will you be back to work this week?
-Dennis
Nice drive...now I want one even more.

I clearly remember that prior to the laptop upgrade, I did not have to go throuh so many steps. What am I doing wrong?
I'm sure everyone has their own methods.
Start here/bookmarked on my browser - http://www.edmunds.com/apps/townhall/welcome.jsp
Click on "sign in" in the upper left hand corner>enter email and password and log on.
This brings me back to the front page and my screen name now appears at the top left.
Then I click on the Message Center and it shows me my subsribed discussions have with new posts, and I go from there.
Ok, I do reboot once or twice a month. :shades:
Steve, Host
I think Bob goes in the same way.
DaveM
I also use Subscriptions, though.

Next week Dennis, not this week. I am technically out 2 weeks but we'll catch up before the move
The wifey came back from Atlanta late last night so I couldn't make it.
Haven't worked up the nerve to tell her we're selling the beach condo to buy a matching pair of Tribecas.

1st trip (April 1 - which is probably why this whole thing is taking so long!) - took in the documents (finally) for them to change my name on the bank account and order a new debit card in the new name
get the card ... it doesn't work
2nd trip - (May 7) - they take the card that doesn't work and shred it and order another one .. should get the card and a new pin
I finally get a pin number of 0000 and no card (0000????)
3rd trip - (May 21) - woman at the desk tells me she can't get into the file to find out what was done in the 2nd ordering and I'll have to call back and talk to the one who did the ordering
4th trip - (today- May 27) - talk to the one who ordered the card on May 7 - and am told the woman last week COULD have taken card of the issue - that they would never send a pin of 0000 - and confirmed the address - no one can figure out why I didn't get a card (would that make any of you nervous to have a debit card with your name on it floating around?)
I'm offerred the choice of closing the file on the old card with the old name that still works and starting over, or trying to order a second card in the new name - again ... we order a new card and I leave seeing red
come home and get online to try to see who I can send a flaming letter of complaint to and can't find any info to help me ... finally fire off an email to the 'contact us' address which just says "to whom do I send a written letter of complaint about a service?" I GOT A PHONE CALL WITHIN about 3 minutes of the time the email left here!
explain the whole thing and got apologies all over the place and supposedly we're taken card of the way I wanted it to be in the first place ... so we'll see ...
the problem is - my card doesn't match my drivers license .. when they ask for ID the first name matches but not the second ... so far it's passed .. but .. well .. you know ..
grrrrrrrr ....
go back to your regularly scheduled posting ... rant is over ... for now
Once my credit union called me to tell me I bounced a check.
I said, "No way, no how. I'm very careful".
So I went in and found - guess what? Someone else set up autopay on his credit card and they were debiting MY account!
Recovered the funds plus interest immediately.

As I passed the cars stopped on the left, I noticed a silver WRX wagon up ahead. Just as I was alongside him, the driver decided to pop out into the middle lane without looking. Luckily, my attention was diverted to the WRX (I always check out other Subies) so I was instantaneously able to swerve to the right and get on the horn.
Luckily, there were no cars to the right of me, but what really got my heart pounding was how long it took the other driver to notice I was there. It seemed like ages until he realized he was blindly merging into traffic. I was almost at a 45 degree angle before he stopped moving in.
Needless to say, I was pretty angry. I looked back in the rearview mirror and saw the other driver, an older man, waving in apology.
Grrrrrr.
Ken
I just got back from the local Meijer (sort of like a regional WalMart store) where I tried to pay for my purchase with the 'old' debit card only to have the cashier tell me that the card was REPORTED AS STOLEN .....
so it's 4:00 PM before the holiday weekend, and I race home and call to try to talk to the same person I had this morning at the main branch only to be told she had left for the day ... I asked to speak to MANAGEMENT ... when I went through the whole story, she told me that the woman at the credit union branch put the block on the card this morning and that she had not ordered the card properly .. that the "last" woman I talked to this morning DID put in the order correctly for another card and that she would remove the block ... she said that she would save a shot of the screen and make sure the supervisors saw how badly this had been messed up over the last 2 months ... talk about being PO'ed .....
*steam still coming out of ears*
Cheers Pat.
Brenda I hope the stress level is back to normal.
Cheers Pat.
I'm loafing along about 50 mph when I see a bunch of stopped cars at the top of the pass. No sheet metal damage, but there's a bull walking down the highway with a couple of cowboys on their cellphones getting advice from someone about how to corral this critter. He was about as big as my Outback and he wasn't apologizing to anyone!
Steve, Host
It's a lot worse when they don't! :mad:
Bob and I are heading up to Vally Forge, PA, for the Tribeca Ride-n-Drive this coming Tuesday. Any special requests? Should I video tape my grunting in the corner or have Bob wear a helmet cam?
-juice
Yes, what time should I be there?
I work a couple miles from Valley Forge National Park in Valley Forge, PA.
Is the event at the Valley Forge Convention center?
DaveM
btw, helmeted bob pictures always welcome. and this time juice, we need the juice slam cam. forget whats happening outside, keep the cam on you. additionally since your cam has sound, if someone is throwing the car around try to capture tire squeal.
Bob
It should be interesting since I don't think there's a flat spot in the entire parking lot.
DaveM
How about you take a cross country trip so that we can evaluate one here in California!
Ken
