IAG Thursday Thing EP.117: Gridlife SOLD?!?! Not exactly.

Being real...I'm super bummed we lost half this episode. It got good but we did save the explanation of what ACTUALLY happened and why at least Dewey thinks this is a good thing. It unfortunately cuts off mid conversation as we had not one, but TWO massive technical failures (both of which have been rectified and will not happen again) causing us to lose the last half of what was an absolute BANGER.Sorry folks. Can't win em all I guess.

We live in a new age. Today (the day of recording) a low mileage 04 STI sold for $107k miles. Why? Well the answer is easy...and not lol. Let us know what you think in the comment!

Look, we all love JDM parts. Forbidden little tidbits of goodness that we never got there in North America. Max though...this man is on a TOTALLY different level. His collection is like nothing I have ever seen. My words will not do this justice. Meet the guy behind it, what drives him, his hardest parts to get, and crazy stories about saving parts from certain doom and throwing 3/4 of something in the garbage for one piece.

Subaru's profits are down, Warranties bro bought a Civic Si, Used car prices are skyrocketing, and all sorts of other discussion.It's not all that bad though. Check it out!

Warranty's Birthday means we get to do his favorite thing, talk about all sorts of news! A little something for everyone.

Dewey and Jordan talk about the crazy trip the took to Oregon to pick up Dewey's new car. Why all the way to Oregon? Why this car? Why do it in the middle of the worst snowstorm the country has seen in years? What is a "Ghost Truck? All these answers and more this episode.

Warranty and Dewey put on their tinfoil hats and look at the timeline of when things were announced to who and what was changed at Subaru in hopes of making sense of everything. This plays right into what we think 2026 will be. What do you think?

It's awards season and we aren't above having an awards show for a good laugh. We look back on the year and hand out a host of awards for all sorts of stuff, some semi serious...most totally not LOL. Let us know what you think of our choices!

Dewey can't stop talking about his upcoming Bug Eye WRX purchase and his vision for a new content series about actually DOING things with your car. Plus, we pay tribute to Joe Sanguinetti, an OG RS25.com community member who recently passed. The crew gets into a heated (but agreeable?) debate about what Subaru needs to do with the next STI - should it be raw and dangerous or refined and comfortable? Warranty schools us on camping at Laguna Seca, shows off his bike collection, and we answer a tech question about IAG oil system components. All this on the day before Christmas!

Dewey sits down with NASA TT veteran Max Gourley to discuss his journey from Cobalt SS to STI track car, the viral Lime Rock crash, NASA TT2 competition, and his new FA24-swapped BRZ build. Plus: the NASIOC Member Number Showdown!
