Morning Ben. Send some snow our way- assuming thats what you're getting.

I drove the Miata in 60 degrees with the top down yesterday. This morning it was showing signs of snow. Go figure!

Some douchetard with an A4 wanted a piece of my Miata yesterday. I embarrassed him with my "fag car" as he so eloquently put it after he lost.

Mornin' Ray! Unfortunately it is freezing rain and sleet.We have a cold front that is stalled out over the area,its cold as f*** again today.By the weekend it is supposed to be sunny and back in the mid 50s though.

Glad you smoked the guy in the Audi, an A4 isn't exactly a "man's" car IMO!

Anyone that says the Miata is a "fag car" is an idiot. Granted, Miata is a pretty "fag car" sounding name, but that doesn't mean it doesn't love to be driven. I miss my Miata...

Ah, yes, the noble Wikipedia fundraiser. I wonder if anyone has ever donated to it?

As much as I'd hate to admit it, wiki has saved my a** so many times in school. Not only were my research/projects done with passing grades, but a majority of them had ended in A's. I donated a Franklin to them last year..

Morning fellas.
Got some snow today. Snow tires are pretty cool, even if you only have two.
I can't wait to get a Subaru.
Have you seen any issues with '07- '08 Legacy models, Ben?

Non turbo version with a standard transmission, for sure. I wish I could afford the GT.

We're meh. Its rainy, sleety, and warmish (42).
How do ya'll like geocaching? Is there a website that you'd suggest starting with? I've looked into it here and there but I haven't found the 'treasure chest' of support I've been looking for in the New England area. Do you geocache in cities as well as rural areas? Can you give me a run down/over view of the hobby?

I'd like to try it out with the lady and as a way of getting the dog more active. It seems like a great way to see areas that we normally wouldn't have known about or gone to on our own.
What tools (GPS wise) do you suggest?

We love it! My mother-in-law introduced us to it this summer and we've been hooked ever since.
Go to: http://www.geocaching.com/ Everything you need is there. It can be a little awkward to wade through at first, but once you get the idea of it, it's pretty straight forward. Yea, we go all over. There are a bunch in the city, but a lot in the rural area's of Kansas too.

It's basically and online based game of hide-and-seek. Someone hides a cache, posts the info and GPS coordinates of the cache online. You then go and find it using the GPS coordinates and log that you found it at the cache and online.

If you're wanting to get out and walk the "geopups" as we call them and see new places, this is a great hobby for that.

I use my cell phone to geocache with. I have an app that connects online and finds caches close to me, gives me info about the cache, etc. You can also use a dedicated geocaching GPS unit. They tend to be a bit more accurate, but are more clumsy to use than if you had a smart phone and a geochaching app.

If you have a GPS capable cell phone, you can download a restricted app and get a free account on geocaching.com and try it out. If you like it, then spend the money on a premium account and pay for a real app for your phone. You'll be glad you did.
