No ball pit's anymore. I think they were outlawed because of sanitary issues. Pizza would work!

Morning everybody!

Hope you all are getting ready for winter....it's a'coming!

Bought a new dremel last night...hopefully my bondo is still good so I can get the body work done on my Subaru and get that old girl back on the road. Diesel is expensive, lol

However, I got 17.4 mpg with my truck the other day...keep in mind that's with 35" tires! Pretty damn happy about that!

Have a good day all....coffee and tunes are on!

Good luck with the Subaru. Bondo is a Mainer's best friend!
I would be happy with that mileage in the explorer!

Yeah, it's like....25% bondo right now.

But...the car was free, gets 30mpg, and has 268,XXX miles on it....so I really can't complain!

Explorers are great...except for mileage, lol

Sound's like a good deal! How has the frame held up? I have heard horror stories about japanese frames and salt.

Frame is actually in excellent condition. It's the body that is bad, lots of holes/cancer. Some big enough to fit a baseball....maybe a softball in, lol

All I've had to do is normal wear items, calipers, couple CV joints, brake pads, rotors, tires, alternator, and windshield. Overall been very low maintenance and a great little car!
