There was set of years of Subarus that had head gasket issues. I knew several people that had Outbacks and Foresters with that problem, and mostly they just kept oil in the car until it was too bad and then had it fixed. They all still loved the cars.

I drive a 2006 4Runner as my daily driver. 180,000 miles without a major issue. When we were buying a car for my wife, I always asked the salesmen ‘what’s the best/most reliable daily driver’ and the majority answer across several different dealers and lots including non-Toyota lots was Toyota Camry or Corolla. They’re just reliable and built to take some neglect.

If I remember correctly @A-Jay has a topper he highly recommends.

@Smirak nailed it.

Yooooooooooo!!!!!

My wife and I have a couple of Electra Townie’s that we got from REI. They have 7 gears and are about $500 apiece. Fairly upright seating and come with a comfortable seat. There’s a step through version if that’s easier than getting your leg over. REI is great for support if anything gets cattywhompus and it looks like you’re decently close to the Winter Park one.

Pics or it didn’t happen… Hope it went great 😊

@A-Jay Thanks for the donkey pic…it never gets old. Here around the Charlotte/western NC area, a big spotted or smallmouthbass would be 3 lbs, big largemouth starts at 5. Further east in Badin or Jordan lakes, there are larger populations of larger largemouths, but I don’t frequent those lakes. There’s places (Florida, Texas, parts of the Great Lakes) where there are large fish in large numbers, but across anywhere, if you catch a 5 lb bass, that’s no yearling and is a respectable fish. Don’t let anybody tell you different.

@roadwarrior may have grabbed it from the FedEX hub…

They are kind of fragile, but they work. Well. Bend it then Mend-It.

What are you using to level and fill?

Paging @TnRiver46… White Lightning? Corn Squeezins? Cough Medicine? The original Mountain Dew?

I’m a fan of Makers 46. I also am partial to Russell’s Reserve and most of the Kickin’ Chicken flock.

T-rigged trick worm, gp with gold flake. Weightless unless you’re over 4-5 ft of depth. Fish it like a jerkbait/fluke.

Dieter Melhorn Fishing and Kayak Catfish are a couple of my favs. I’d still rather be fishing than watching.

It’ll never make ALL the difference, but if it makes SOME difference then it’s worth it.

Mildly ironic that it’s the week before Memorial Day weekend, when boat season really kicks off

No pic?

I just wanted to say I have those same plates for feeding the kid… He’s driving now so I can probably use them for other things…

My wife swears by the Dancin’ Eel. She loves that thing.

SCHEDULE’S OUT YALL!!! How the Pats got more than a dozen cupcakes is anyone’s guess. Also, the Cowboys 2nd half of the season is BRUTAL.

That’s just the payoff for trading Luka to the Lakers…

I feel like one of you enterprising fellas could make a little rail system that slides out the bed of your truck that you can then slide your yak down to launch. Anyone? Anyone?

Is the swivel above or below the split shot? Above (towards the reel from the split shot) may help you with twist but I’ve never had a problem with it. Are you using a round or oblong shot? Don’t use the split shot with the ‘ears’. Is your soft plastic rigged straight?

I would send it to @Delaware Valley Tackle for a refresh and let him tell you if something is really wrong or it just needs some careful attention. You shouldn’t be needing to regrease gears after two trips even if you submerged it in saltwater.
