A lot of sites like what, botobeurre?

Looking at the picture of the Speak & Spell, it really looks like they designed the keyboard without intending to put any text descriptions for the buttons. Then some Good Idea Fairy, just before they mass-printed the overlay added the text, so now yellow words clash with the orange background of the outer border.

I went with RE92's served me great so far.
When I was in fifth grade I got new shoes that I thought looked cool. Some off-brand basketball shoes that were about $12 for the pair. I think it was XJ900 but probably not Pro Wings. I don't remember for sure.
I got made fun of pretty hard because apparently they were Air Jordan knock offs. I did not know this when I picked them, but was treated like I did.
Those shoes sounded like I was wearing cleats when I ran. The sole was not rubber like most shoes, but actually a hard plastic that caused me to slip/slide on concrete as I attempted to play basketball alone.
These are the memories that the RE92 tires brought back to me.

ZERO DOLLARS DONATED
You see my blue name it's because I donated. There's a rank below it as well. It says Premium Donator. Pwned.

Oh man where's my sticker?

Donated. LegGTLT, please don't blow it on booze for that homeless guy in exchange for favors again. That shit's not cool.

This should absolutely speed up the forum significantly.
Right now there's 36 members and 394 guests - most of which are probably bots. Randos can use Google to find what they need by doing site:legacygt.com *searchterm*
That is all.

Don't hate because I know how to play the game.

"Eerily calm" is how I'd describe how I felt. I was saving my 'one big brake moment' for the last resort. As a teenager, I played around with turning my engine off while my car was in motion, freaking my passengers out for fun. FFS who would have thought that experience would have prepared me so completely for this...
-
Engine shut off at random while driving 60 MPH, exiting an interstate. Inexplicably, the e-brake audiovisual warning was the first indicator (the exact same warning given when pulling the e-brake while driving)... Difficult steering was the second. Engine started right back up at 50 MPH and was able to brake for the hard right turn.
Hope that doesn't happen again.

135k miles. Right rear wheel bearing toast.

132k miles. Radiator blown.

You got hosed on that front end work if you paid $800 for bushings and endlinks. You could have paid for a nice aftermarket f&r sway/links/bushings setup, and it should only take a cpl hours to install.
Regardless, sucks your luck. I've bought my last 3 turbo Subaru's used and one went past 170k miles last I heard on OE everything. My current has 152k miles on OE everything altho I have a decent trans repair looming. And my STi was mint at 72k miles, compression was literally perfect, as was the car pretty much.
Going back and looking at the bill, it was $600 for that specific work. I forgot I had the car aligned and wheels balanced as well.
I had the work done at the dealership, in the end. Came out to $3700 to replace oil solenoids and the turbo. $400 of that was to take the oil pan off and look inside and see if there was anything amiss (they found metal shavings in the oil).
Everything looked fine, there's no engine knock. They advised me of the risk involved because they aren't sure where the shavings came from, though evidence points to it being the turbo; they also don't know if they're all cleared out or what issues they might cause.
Funny thing - when I first got the car I complained with others about a 'stutter' when accelerating. For 126k miles I dealt with it. That stutter no longer exists.
-
Why did you bold "used"? I said I bought the car new.
-
126k miles.
Had some front end work done. Replaced sway bar bushings and links (both bent). $800.
Less than two weeks later I hear a very loud dog barking from under my hood, and when it does, I have no power. Seems to be related to when the turbo builds boost; it gets to a low-medium point and then gives up.
Conflicting diagnoses from the dealership and a tune-oriented mechanic. $4000 is the cost to fix regardless of who I go with.
My first car, an 86 Toyota Celica lasted until 170k miles, and even then it ran great, but had worn piston rings.
My second car, a 1995 Honda Prelude bought in 1999, I recently donated to the Salvation Army because I was tired of spending $300 a year on gas/maintenance on a car that I don't use. It had 220k miles on it. (the gas costs were just for 'maintenance drives', to make sure the car still runs and the battery gets charged)
Here comes my Subaru; the first new car I've ever bought, yet the least reliable and most expensive to maintain. Since the warranty has ended, I've spent 3x more than my previous two cars combined in maintenance costs.
Also they told me my power steering rack was leaking. $1200 (no thanks)
Also my stereo/climate control glitches out every now and then, leaving me unable to control either for a random amount of time. Then it acts fine for months. Then it glitches out again for several days/weeks. It's been doing this for five years or so. When it's glitching, I get a non-rhythmic blinking of my stereo/climate control status lights. Sometimes turning the headlights on and off (which dims/brightens it) repeatedly will fix it.

I was specifically waiting for 2040 just so I could post that.
Long days at work, so I couldn't... glad the opportunity didn't go wasted.

It happened to me about two years ago. Brought it to the dealership 5 minutes before it closed on a Friday where I was leaving to go out of town that Saturday morning.
Don't know what they did to fix it. Hasn't happened since.

This is a trend that started a few years ago. I noticed it when my work got their new ticketing system. Nothing better than knowing theres going to be an outage "in 2 days" that ends "in 2 days". You have to hover over to see the actual time If you're on mobile, you're borked Terrible trend.
