Nice parts! I like my Timken's.

Dude, get a second car. Literally the best mod I've ever done. If you break something or try a new mod, there is zero stress about time and it's so nice.

I recommend a Subaru haha!

Yeah I know I need a daily, but right now that isn't financially wise for me.




This stupid thing is caked with so much crud. I've been chiseling for over an hour and have gotten nowhere.

Around me that $200 would get me a nightmare of a project. Or a stolen vehicle.

I've looked. We actually have an '03 Honda Pilot that's been sitting in the driveway for 4 or 5 years that's needs a handful of thing to be road legal again. That'd be my best option because we just have too many cars in our skinny driveway

Yeah I want a cheap daily, but I don't want a project, but I also want something I'd actually like to drive. Then it turns into that cycle: Buys daily, adds a couple of cheap mods, adds more mods, buys new daily because racecar.





Got the hoe off
