Is WD-40 similar to PB Blaster. I tried PB blaster but that didin't work.

I will let you guys know what take it off.. Thank you for the suggestions! I didin't notice it for a while so it got cooked on.. OOPS..

I was wiping down my bike one day and I dropped a microfiber on the hot exhaust. This is what it did! Anybody have any good ideas how to remove this crap! Thanks Here is a link to the image.

I am leaning more toward the Subaru because of the AWD. I would love to have a MS3 but if winters are going to turn into a HUGE pain in the ass, then it's not worth it for me. If anyone can find a WRX near Upsate NY, let me know. I was shooting for the 25 - 26 range.

Thank you for the pics :). It's reassuring to see someone else who owns one. I think you have said this already, but how many miles do you have on your MS3?

Well, I am trying to decide what would make more sense. I love the fact that the WRX is AWD. To me that is a HUGE bonus. I hate getting stuck in snow. My Maxima right now is FWD and it's very annoying because I can hardly get up hills some days when it snows. AWD would be very helpful. I...

I am between a WRX and a Speed3. I live in upstate NY so winters vary. I would like your opinions on what car to get. Obviously the MS3 is cheaper but the WRX is AWD. Let me know what you think. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Yes but they are more expensive and you get much less for the price you pay :(

The closest mazda service area in my location is an hour away :(

Being engaged with a car is whats fun. Shifting for you takes much of the driving experience out. You can now give any clown a sports car and they can drive it. Granted, not to it's full potential! But before it required a skill to even get it moving. Just sad in my book :(.

My Maxima is a 2010 Maxima. It' has the CVT, I am not a HUGE fan of it. I prefer a stick shift, unfortunately they are becoming more difficult to find!

I have 4 years left to pay :( and around 20,000 dollars.

You have a good point. I am 25 and want something sporty, I would drive the car hard at times but most of the time not really. IDK one part of me says keep the Max, the other part says have some fun and get the Speed3

What makes me nervous is all the problems I have been reading about online. There where 20 or more problems being posted about speed3 on one particular forum in a few days! Anywhere from shifting to leaking oil into intake.. Many of these cars have < 5000 miles!

Did you drive the car hard? Also, did you use synthetic oil and change it regularly?
