Beware of AutoSportStyle.com

I recently purchased some wheel spacers from Auto Sport Style (autosportstyle.com) for my Subaru Impreza. I was excited to see that this site had these wheel spaces for an Impreza, little did I know that they would only fit the base model Impreza. When I received them I quickly noticed that they were the wrong size, when I tried to contact customer service at Auto Sport Style I realized that they did not have a phone number. So I proceeded to contact them by email. They said they had no idea if they should fit or not and made me contact the manufacturer to ask them, the manufacturer, H&R was very nice and told me that there was not a part the would fit my model. When I told Auto Sport Style this they told me I would have to pay a 40% restocking fee. I then emailed them back and told them that this made no sense, they emailed back to say no there would be no change in my case. Then when I when though there RMA process they told me there would be a 10% in my case, I emailed them back and quoted where they had told me that I would not have to pay a restocking fee and they just said sorry. I sent them more emails and I never received a response.

I would never do business with them ever again. It should have been a clue to me that they don’t even have a phone number.

Fun with Photoshop and a BMW M3

The one criticism I have for the 2008 E92 M3 is that it is to flashy in factory form so with a little Photoshoping I have simplified the BMW M3.

Trip to Wallace Falls State Park

During my latest trip to Seattle I had the opportunity to visit Wallace Falls State Park. The park was beautiful. We only had time to hike about a mile from the park entrance. There were much bigger falls further up the mountain that we would have loved to hike to.

A Meaner M3, More Efficient, Lighter, Faster, and More Powerful

Aggressive styling distinguish the M3 as a high-performance vehicle while helping to feed high performance. Its bigger wheels and wider track fill the exceptionally flared fenders and add to its curb presence. Another exclusive performance enhancement is its Carbon Fiber roof panel.

Produced in the same Landshut factory as the BMW Formula One engine, the M3’s all-aluminum 4.0-liter V-8 produces 414 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of peak torque. This engine has a truly remarkable 8,400-RPM redline, and follows the same high rev philosophy as the V-10 found in the M5 and M6.
