    Subaru Forest Questions

    I did my OB and moms Legacy. I just left the tail lights plugged in and painters taped them to the fender out of the way. OB was easier than the legacy in that I left the exhaust hangers on with the OB. The legacy was slightly mor cramped and had to pop two hangars loose to gain room to work...

    Police in California and CCW Permits

    Weed transport gets stopped all the time. Only the legit types are given a pass. Its not a big deal if your legit. Its another story if your not.

    Colorado diesel narrowly beats Tacoma in head to head comparison

    There is always the boots on feet and hiking too. LOL The stock vehicle that can handle a rough spot on a dirt road is about all anyone needs unless your hobby is rock crawling ie the challenge of getting over and through bolder fields is the point not the actual destination.

    All the truly self made wealthy types I know buy used cars. But they have the money and can pounce on good deals fast. That’s where many cash buyers win. They get first dibs on the good deals.

    Colorado diesel narrowly beats Tacoma in head to head comparison

    More people competing for limited housing in preferred places near good employment options drives home values up. Pretty much every major city with booming business has seen housing prices climb. Step outside the city zone and home values have not kept pace with typical investments. You can...
