Jofo's gone. Y'all bitches just need to accept facts.

It's a small price to pay to also be rid of that bitchass mark trick snitch whiney cunt Taco though.

Majofo sacrificed himself for the greater benefit of all. All praises to Majofo, lift up your voices on high and sing out!

He's in a better place now.

Not a great place, because Kurt is there too, FFS. But still a better place.

It's Friday!

Moving into a new spot this weekend. Bigger than the old place, which probably means more furniture to get.

Damn I was searching a few weeks back and Nippon-Yasan /JP post looked like they lifted the USA restrictions and I was about ready to pick up the GX-72 but lagged on it... Just got some good news from work perspective and figured time to treat myself and now the restriction is back on due to COVID... I guess i could just pay for UPS International shipping




I'd also get it before Christmas so there's that.. @Yumcha

Dude. I'm usually the cheapest of cheapasses, but lately I've been sucking up the extra $20 or whatever and getting things shipped DHL whenever possible.

That german precision gets shit here stat. They'll be like, oh, it should be there in 3 days and then 18 hours later I hear a thump at the door and it's my goodies.

Fuck USPS.

USPS has fucked up my shipments this month.

Shipped something Nov 24 from Canada. Arrives in JFK on the 25. Expected delivery: Dec 4 to Cali. It's Dec 11 now and it's still stuck in JFK.

Meanwhile ship a pair of side mirrors on Dec 3 to OR. Got delayed but ultimately still arrived in a timely manner (arrived yesterday on Dec 10).

Also fuck UPS and their bullshit brokerage fees.

I tole you!

Well, you decide dude...if the expedited for about $120USD? Yikes...not cheap. But maybe that's your only route. Did you try searching on Amazon Japan? Just see if the vendor will ship to the US/your location.

Well, Hoisin...check the shipping for Jungle Toys. They have a minty one in stock: https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/520307


And yes, I have bought from them and yes, they are great.

(As a guy who has more gokin toys than BoostedJack has of Pateks and supercars, I know who the vendors are.)

Interesting

* Additional Ordering Information **
* Pricing
Total prices are the sum of the following:
item price - our actual storeshelf retail price.
handling fee - 5% of the item price; applies to all international orders.
shipping - cost to send your package via EMS Express Airmail.
So i have to make the order and THEN they'll get back to me on how much shipping is and i can choose to accept/decline. They do have the option of DHL so it might be cheaper... i'll give it a shot!

It was incredibly slow when I first got it. But a new 3" downpipe with 3" exhaust changed it. Got a few other minor mods coming in to improve drivability some more.

I got it in auto as it was my work/daily car... and immediately wished I opted for the manual. Factory 4 piston front and rear brembos going on soon.

FUN FACT: The V70R front brembo CAN bolt up to the TL brembo if you machined the bolt-hole slightly larger. With my quick math you'd be able to run a roughly 14" rotor. I'm actually considering doing it... just gotta find a 14" rotor to test it out.

The V70R (and S60R) are still holding their value really well actually! Even with just a new intercooler and maybe a light tune the car really goes.
You 4 speed or 5 speed auto?
I know your ass has been on the IPD website

Adam has to realize by now that him listening to all those alpha youtube life coaches was a mad move right?
Lost his lady...she has a healthy relationship with another dude and has a kid within a year which means he was really the
problem. Chasing cars and shit...but then hates his own decisions.

I hope he found what he was looking for.

I don't. I hope he's still making stupid decisions (lol, grab the metal bat in a thunderstorm). Presumably, some assholes on the internet of another car forum are laughing at his bitchass now. Good for them.

Showoff.

But, almost finished too. Wife marinated some boneless chicken thighs and we'll soon be grilling some Malay-style satays.

Wash that down with some Kirin.
