    This version of the hardware (open source fork) has one of the better displays out there. I decided to buy from the source that way I know the specific version that I picked up is not just a bad copy. I did pickup the connectors + test board to help me figure out this device.

    Now to find something a bit more complex to buy....how about a used ICOM 7200 or new 7300 into a dust bunny magnet...
    I Like my RCI radios got a 2970n4 mobile and a 2950 for a base.. take a look at Stryker 955's

    I no longer justified 4x4 as a requirement, so I got rid of the Xterra in favor of a more gas friendly option, I?ve been wanting to get a newer gas friendly car for DD use (Honda Accord), and get more of a project 4x4 for the trails, so here is the start of that. Definitely not a super cool sports car, but it IS a manual transmission, which I?ve always preferred, so it?s a fun little car to drive (definitely haven?t been maximizing my gas mileage the last couple tanks).

    Very nice! Looks new. If so, I'm surprised it's still made with a manual transmission. I miss driving sports cars.

    It?s a 2012, but it?s really clean with only 65,000 miles on it, the fact that nobody wants a manual these days worked out in my favor.

    I think you bought a gem. You will not lose on that car.

    I met a guy who had done some mods to that same car, it looked great. They have a pretty stout motor now a days from what I remember as well. Better than the 1990 I had for sure.

    Yeah I?ve been looking at mods already (because I can?t leave anything alone) nothing crazy because I want to maintain reliability and longevity, but probably intake and exhaust, possibly a tune, but first order of business is window tint, that is mandatory down here.
