What's going on? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

I thought you'd like this render a guy posted on DIY Subaru tonight, Sperry. How's Portland? Still have the wagon?

And how the hell are the rest of you guys?

Portland is (unsurprisingly) wet. Still have the wagon, it's awesome for the wet weather, but sucks since it's so stiff on the bad streets and awful traffic here. I think I need to get the Bilsteins revalved to be super soft.

I'm still trying to buy a house... it's been impossible to find anything with enough space for all the cars... even if we look way above our price range. Nothing here works for us, and prices are like twice Reno.

I think we're going to end up in a tiny house or a townhome, and I'm going to need to find a big ass storage unit that will let me park a truck and a trailer.

Or I need to sell the truck, trailer, and WRX. I'll take $30k for it all if anyone's interested, but you have to pick it up in Colfax where it's parked at my parent's house.

Is the WRX running right now?

Yeah, running pretty good actually. Boost is still turned down to just 18psi, but I was able to run it pretty hard at RFR in 104F ambient temps w/o overheating, so I sorta consider it "dialed" short of going back to a TMIC.

Actually, here in Portland, it's so much easier to keep things cool in the wet that an AWD wrx would actually be an awesome track car, and probably totally reliable. But I'm apt to guess the miata would still be more fun in the rain, though it'd be even slower.

Awesome, I wasn't sure where you left off with it.
