Car Talk!

Yay, the Suzuki SX4 has a rear locking differential, and with the TC option, the front wheels have a "fake" locking front differential!


I was afraid that the SX4's AWD system was just going to be the same as what is in the Panda 4x4, where you basically really only have two wheels propelling the car. One in front and one in back, even though it says it is 4x4. However, with the TC and rear electronic locking differential, the SX4 may be a better offroader than I expected at first.



Now, is anyone able to take a guess at how many credit card bills I need to pay off before I start getting a decent credit score? My mom said that I should be close to a 400-500 credit score within 6 months if I pay all of my bills on time.


I can afford a new car in the $15k-17k range, but with no credit score, I would have to pay a 20% APR rate. If I can get my score to around 500 I will be able to cut that in half.

Lap of Sebring in a 2006 WRX Wagon. Nothing overly impressive compared to most of the races hosted at Sebring, but still an interesting driver view of the track.

Lots of FLORIDA residents here:
Radar Detectors are ILLEGAL. Went into effect July 1.
Already had two of my buddies get warnings for it already.


Rob, I remember you telling me this might happen a while back. Never thought it would actually go through. Sucks for the people that just recently bought one.

I haven't tracked FL SB2228 in recent weeks, largely because I do not use a radar detector. I suppose it passed. If using the original SB2228 guidelines, a radar detector would be a secondary, non-criminal offense. In other words, you could not be pulled over just for having a radar detector. However, if you are pulled over for another reason, a ticket can be issued if a radar detector is discovered.

Exhaust is here...I'm hoping that it'll be installed over the weekend.

Be sure to post up a new video, TRB.

I still have yet to have my exhaust done.

It would be interesting to see the performance numbers after the install. Any Dynos near you?

Plenty...wouldn't be worth it, though, since I never obtained a baseline, and even if I did, it wouldn't be anything substantial.

You play with exahust notes... I play with rifle "notes"
