It is snowing so hard right now I almost got stuck, and I predict I may be in a predicament in about mmmmmm... 3.5 hours.

not rotas, most likely some knock off, but they were cheap shipped fast as heck and look good.

They come in black or chrome

Drove it home from where I left it Friday after pulling the fender out. The steering is all screed up.

Visual estimate has gone from 3 to $5k. I'm going to lift it up today in the garage and see what I can find.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

In the process of making plans for Turn-in Concepts to do my 4.44 swap.

Before you guys get at my heels about doing it myself..I will offer four points.

A) Put my mother at ease that a reputable shop will be doing it
B) It's close to where I'm getting my transmission
C) I need it quicker than mid march like I had planned.
D) Lack of tools / space to do it. And it's cold.

Neither cold nor rainy I'll have you know. It was 78-82 yesterday. Drove back and forth across the causeway with the windows down. OMG, beautiful. Got back to Tampa proper and drove it like I stole it for the rest of the day. Best winter ever.

Not to mention the girls in bikinis on roller skates,
