Wow that is beautiful man, wish i still had pics of my rx7. Yeah i always like the rx7 over the supra and 300. Although i would have gladly taken a 300 as well, the supra i always looked at as a camry with twin turbos lol. Now the SS that is a super sweet truck, the noise it made with stock exhausts was unreal and sweet music. My buddy owns one in LA and we used to tow our bikes to the track for races. That things used to pull the trailer with our bikes, gear, tools, tires, etc and it honestly felt like nothing

thank you very much!!

lol yes that's what I thought too...a camry coupe with twin turbo. Wasn't a fan of it really. I actually like the Mitsubishi 3000gt, remember those?

I really miss the SS, wish I didn't have to sell it in order to the the 335. I actually had the SLP dual exhaust installed with the custom rear valance, Cold air intake. Truck was a beast even though I never towed anything its still a beast towing lol. I had a blast in the winter with it here in NY!!

You should be good until late December, then throw some on for January + February. Some years it comes earlier, but it usually doesn't hang around like in January.

Welcome to the tristate

I'm sure you do man, esp with all those mod's I never even knew about those SUV's until i saw my buddy's. Ha hahaha camry coupe, i know some Supra guys that would boast to run 30 pounds of boost on stock turbos and edu. I was always amazed how their motors and turbos lasted lol. Man you kidding me i totally remember the 3000gt of course you had to get the VR4 version in order to be fast cause those things were tanks. There used to be this place on the east coast called altered atmosphere with a high powered VR4 that looked amazing. You remember the VR4's twin the Stealth hahaha that was actually a pretty sweet car as well

yea those SS's and SRT8 Cherokee trucks are pure speed demon tanks man...crazy how my SS sucked up gas from stop sign to stop sign or light to light...got about 9 MPG in the city...16-17mpg on highway lol

YES the VR4 was the top of line. Remember it some feature where like all 4 tires would turn or something along those lines it wasn't all wheel drive I don't think or maybe it was. Yes I remember the stealth also, was that turbo?

I moved here from California too. I quickly realized the Cold Weather package wasn't a luxury so much as essential to my survival! I'm still a temperature wimp.
I don't mind the snow so much though as the constant car washes from all that salt and grime.

Hahahaha yeah the i totally understand the gas issue I used to have the same problem with my rx7. I used to run 1200cc primary and 2200cc secondary fuel injectors lol. Yeah the VR4 was all wheel drive the same system the eclipse gsx and gst had. Yeah the Stealth was designed to be the sister car of the VR4 they had a NA and a turbo model

I'm from Napa. I was up in Boston for a couple years and I just moved to SW Connecticut in June. I think there's a self-wash in Hoboken if you feel like getting nailed in bridge and tunnel fees!

No kidding, Napa is a beautiful area. My cousin and her husband moved from SF, to Santa Rosa, and now are in Windsor. I love that area, when we move back to CA we are really gonna try and settle down somewhere in Norcal. Nice I will def check out the self wash place, you wouldn't happen to have the name of the place would ya???? Thanks again

Your insurance will probably be cheaper in NJ so if I had a choice I would do NJ but it varies by zip code. Some zip codes in upstate NY may be cheaper then NJ but you will need a physical address I believe. If your car is still registered in CALI and you have a good rate why register it down here right away? I would wait until your next inspection is due in CALI and then switch here.

Agreed, that + out of state license can get you out of some speeding tickets since you "really don't know the area!"

I think that place (Hoboken Car Wash) went full-service, but if you're up for OTHER people washing your car by hand there's Only By Hand in HoHoKus and Chelsea Car Wash in Manhattan that will do a hand wash if you ask.

I actually have temp tags on it and need to register it before dec 19th, that's why i ask. I actually had over $1300 worth of street sweeping tickets (la nazi's) so rather than pay them to get my new registration i said screw it and traded the car in. So i have temp tags and have to register it. So NJ it is then, I'm currently in west ny, nj
