  • Well, mine was a lot newer when I owned it. When I bought this one it had 30k miles on it. It was completely stock with a worn out suspension. I actually stumbled on it while visiting a friend. Made a lowish ball offer which was rejected so I bailed and went home when our trip was over. Got a call about a week later accepting my offer.

    I had a ton of fun in this and my previous '92 Talon AWD. Going to the DSM shootouts, one year we got a tour of the DSM plant in Normal, IL… Good times!

    And back then, this car was an absolute beast on the street. Embarrassed a lot of people :)

    The car above ran the license plate “V8EATR” for a while and gained a pretty decent reputation locally.






  • If you haven’t sprained/hurt them and they’re sore, that sounds like they’re not happy about something. Overuse, or some gear issue (shoe), but generally inflamed.

    But, to just answer your question, run on trails not the road and you’ll strengthen all the lower leg muscles connected to your foot/ankle. Just remember to pick up your feet more than street running, or your gonna fall!

    P.S. you’re still probably going to fall :)





  • Sounds fun! While I grew up with my dad owning a sailboat (2 different ones 22 and 25’) my wife had no idea how to sail.

    We took a week long liveaboard ASA (101,103,104). While she definitely learned a lot, it was on a 43’ boat. Even though I can sail it was weird not having the immediate feel of the wind like I always had on smaller boats.

    But it was a fantastic week, and we were mentally ready to sell everything and move onto a sailboat :)



  • For normal non city running any of them should be fine. The more expensive ones will reach more satellites by supporting other non US systems like GLONASS, and GALILEO increasing accuracy by using more satellites.

    I generally use just gps on my Fenix 6x Pro. Unless I’m running in thick trails where the extra satellites might help.

    DC rainmaker definitely has a lot of in depth info on accuracy.

    I’ve had a 910xt, 920xt, Fenix 3HR, Fenix 5x, and now The 6x pro. Running very similar courses for my daily runs and they all report mostly the same. I overlayed a few old tracks compared to new ones and they’re all close.
