My current top options are This manual X5 cause its cool and can tow 6k lb (though im not a fan of crossover/suv's) An 08/09 outback in manual is also on the table cause I have so many spares from the GT that its "easy" to get running. An E91 manual awd bmw wagon. I am familiar with that platform and could be good I am considering an AWD toyota siena just to keep things odd as that could be a solid winter skiing car I have seen a 2014 outback with the 6 speed, but I am totally unfamiliar with that FA engine platform and reliability. BMWs should be plenty around Boston... As for Sienna keep in mind that last generation's AWD is electric motor in the rear that's only active up to 30mph. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what your thoughts are. Ok, if there is space I may ask to catch a ride (can take the conversation to texting). I was leaning towards this option if possible but now my wife and I just picked up a rescue Malamute last week that we are working through some separation anxiety so we'll see how she is doing in a few weeks, this might be the nail in the coffin for my ability to attend this year .

m sprank Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Teddy will be about 8 months old meet time. We checked into boarding (he has been there since yesterday while we celebrate Mary's b-day at Great Wolf Lodge). For what they charge, I need to build a kennel and start a new business. So, chances are our pup is attending. I will hit up Brian for a sticker/art update this week. I can order tees too if people want. Might need to "share" the cost some this year. I "probably" overspent last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylew Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 If i roll coal too much, I might throw a piston through the block from detonation. Amending the sticker would be hilarious! Each year there is just a number given out to cross off the last years date.

boxkita Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 launching engine parts at a racetrack should be a requirement for everyone. Its an experience you just can't walk away from. Its been more than a decade and I still run into ppl asking about it and the resulting fire. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I have launched my fair share of aluminum across tracks, roads and parking lots. Lol. Shot piston and valves out the exhaust pipe once too. Who knew it was "battle" race day. Shrapnel in your face. I was racing desert on a quad. Launched a piton right through the block, through the fender (not the hood and it was a Toyota 4 banger), across the street throwing sparks as it skipped. Frigging fireworks. Pedestrians were scambling. Had a crank separate and open an exit in the block. Never found the other half that crank???? Had 5th gear cut through the housing like a band saw. Watched the gear exit from the rear view. Actually got her into 2nd and finished with one gear, no oil and no engine or trans left. I have more too. I pay to play. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was leaning towards this option if possible @jaylew I'll give you a ride no problem, we might end up going a little slower than last year since I do not want to push the engine too hard - it was pushing coolant last year when we were going 85 mph on the highway. Just need to work out the logistics of meeting somewhere. @boxkita I believe we brought the Aligash last year, will keep this in mind... I also need to bring that JDM mirror for @KZJonny, along with some bumper clips etc. Edited May 1 by SubOperator 1 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Construction manual labor. Guess I am not 16 anymore. Slower but like the tortoise I keep moving. Gives me new respect for @KZJonny and his garage build. Interior build out progress on the She Shed. Gonna need that week at Finger Lakes to recover. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be cathedral ceilings. This should allow ventilation and reduce the risk of condensation as there will be no attic. I actually permitted my project.

This should allow ventilation and reduce the risk of condensation as there will be no attic. I actually permitted my project. Doing it by the book. Makes sense now. I know what they are, but around me, you usually just install them at the bottom a little, to keep insulation from falling in to the eaves and stopping air flow... Maybe 3-4 feet. Feeding into a ridge vent + cathedral ceiling makes sense that youd have them go up the whole way. Edited May 2 by KZJonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I thought I posted something a few days ago but I guess not - turns out starting a new business keeps one busy!

Feeding into a ridge vent + cathedral ceiling makes sense that youd have them go up the whole way. Yes sir. Standard is 48" when a standard lid is used. I had to research for the proper use with cathedral ceiling. I had to make eave baffles with 1" foam too and seal those with expanding foam. So air can only go up the vents. We routinely have winds over 40mph so it's code to seal for blow through. R-11 floors, R-13 walls, R-15 ceiling. OSB for wall and ceiling panel. She wants flooring too. Gonna rent it out as an ADU when she graduates to recover the costs, LOL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
