my biggest complaint about lersoc is the forum software. in all honesty, i love the idea of the board but i dont visit it b/c it too often b/c the forum software is clunky imo. If they ever want help to upgrade to vbulletin, it doesnt cost too much. I am an admin/techlead/new feature implimetor/server baby sitter etc... for our server and forum over on newtiburon.com. i can help lersoc upgrade if they want. a vbulletin yearly license is cheap.

Halpert is a POS and i would NEVER do business with them. I was so frustrated with their inability to sell cars I walked out. Their service departmant looks like billy bob's back yard mechanics joint and their actual car lot looks like a used car lot. They have a few new subarus out back, but 95% of their lot is used cars. I would stay away from them. If you want me to go check out the car though, I can do that. I on the other hand, am right by mentor and drove to columbus to buy my scooby so we are in opposite worlds. Byers Auto down there is friggin SWEET! Bob Miller is the man. To go into detail about my experience, i had to fight for them to sell me a car. I was asking about an 07LGT. It was a saturday morning. They said they couldn't look one up on a saturday. I looked at him and go "what, did the computers take a holiday?" he didnt like that. this was after i waited 30 minutes for their attention. i then asked about an 08. he said to come back in two months. i asked about the price. he said he couldnt get it. so... i went down the road to Ganley East and they found an 07 for me and gave me the price of an 08, just not the best price. The best price and service came from Byers Auto. If you can get Ganley East to get the car from Halpert.... i 100% recommend that situation. Halpert is just a big POS. And this is not a one time experience either. I was there a year ago looking at an STI. They told me to go drive a non-turbo legacy w/ 50K miles on it to compare it. Ugh.

^^ sweet. that was an excellent reply. around willoughby, not only are the women bad, but so is the gas. some of the tanks in the ground are sooooooo old i dont even want to think about the crap that is in the mix. odly enough, i go out to getGo and use that b/c i get a discount from giant eagle like others who shop there. in my tiburon, i find it has less of a sulfur smell and is fresher b/c of the massive amount of people flocking to it for discounts. i will more than likely wind up using their high octane blend. i used to run shell 93 in my tib.... but.... that was so ultimately useless and left my exhaust with tons of carbon around the tips.

yea i hear ya. ugh stupid gas prices. i wouldnt do it anyways w/ such high compression ratios. i was just wondering if anyone was running something like 89 for a while. ok this is another crazy stupid noob though i would smack down someone on my boards for asking but... hey it is worth it. if octane boost is like 2 bux. why not put in 89 and throw in some octane boost. technically, same octane, less $$$.

wow so i hate being a n00b to cars again. i am an admin on newtiburon.com w/ over 12K posts and i could tell u things down to how many jets are on our injectors... but now i have to ask as stupid n00b question here.... although it says use 91+ octane..... has anyone on these boards had success w/ using a lower octane?

now, what i really hope is there are some decent looking girls driving around LGTs. any? come on there has gotta be someone out there. i am a philly boy, i dislike living in willoughby b/c the girls are well umm..... drive out to willoughby and live a day in my shoes and u will understand.

PM sent. thanks man.

^^^^^ yea, i tried. never got a reg email w/ my password. booo.

on june 24th you will have a new friend w/ an 08 GTL in the cleveland area. cant wait to meet up with some of you guys.
