Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

So new years eve I go to a friend's for some drinking and celebration. I sit down while we're waiting for people to show up ... I've had a couple drinks. I get on craigslist on my phone. The 318i from the beginning of this thread. Ah!! Immediately I send a message on facebook to the guy I sold it to...

Re: Needs moAr 2.5rs

I personally ended up finding even my GD too old and raw for my liking. i'm one of those people who would probably end up liking a newer neutered impreza over the older more fun ones. I drive a lot of brand new 2013/2014 cars at work and I find even my 2007 to be raw feeling compared to the newer s...

Re: Needs moAr 2.5rs

I liked these better than those bug eye ones. Did these have the head gasket issue? EDIT: Just did a search and found you mentioned it. Regardless, nice looking car! They indeed did have headgasket issues but that's pretty much all Subarus. Thankfully this particular one now has new gaskets, new se...

Re: Needs moAr 2.5rs

More Subies!!! I rarely see GCs around here that aren't swapped. yeah, i personally was afraid of getting a GC when i ended up getting my 2002 (GD) impreza since they looked so old to me (and they were all already over 10 years old). that said, for someone who doesn't mind working on cars now and t...

Re: Needs moAr 2.5rs

These cars are weird with regards to the p0420 ... my previous one I had, I found receipts for at least half a dozen oxygen sensors and a new cat and it was still throwing the code. :lol: :lol: I am certainly not about to start chasing it ... fuel consumption remains normal, the car runs and drives ...

Needs moAr 2.5rs

Well ... some may remember my history of cars ... it's really weird ... I have owned almost a dozen cars, but only 4 different models ... I always come back to the same thing. The list goes: 1990 BMW 525i 2000 Subaru Impreza wagon 1990 BMW 535i 1995 BMW 318i 1998 Subaru Impreza L 1997 Mazda Miata 20...

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

i've seen other people go back and forth between subaru and bmw (not to compare the brands or their cars LOL), and i have to admit to (since buying a subaru) being a little confused why they'd jump ship to bmw, but then it's made clear the bmw is far superior, rides better, drives better, etc. 8) B...

Yeah, me too. :( I had big plans for it too ... oh well, everything happens for a reason I guess. :?

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

Must be the angle of the picture because I assure you they're the same as in the new one ... actually come to think of it, I'm pretty sure BMW has the same actual pedals/pedal arrangement in every car made since like ... 1980s.

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

Trust me I didn't want it either at the beginning but I was in a pinch and needed a car and my dad had this (bought at auction to resell) ... so it kinda fell into my hands.

It hasn't been too bad so far in the 6 months I've had it or so.

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

I just realized I haven't been around much at all last few months ... busy with work and life I guess. :lol: Anyway, I am back to driving a BMW ... I always come back to them somehow. The Suby got sideswiped and totaled and I sold the Miata shortly afterwards as it just wasn't practical as my only c...

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

Definitely a car everyone should at least drive (if not own) in their life ... just to get a feel for how a car should steer and function. The simplicity is beautiful.

I have been wanting one for the last 8 years ... finally caved in and bought one. :)

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

Well I bought another car. I bought a 97 NA Miata 5sp ... let's just say after driving this thing for the last week (in which I did 500 miles already), every other car feels huge, unresponsive and like a big turd. The car is amazing as a whole, but the tranny/shifter/clutch are superb ... it's so ea...

Re: The replacement is in ... my new chariot! UPDATE: Dec. 2

Yep, definitely not a very common color on a Suby. I am no stranger to Suby's either ... between my dad and I, we have owned a few. I still miss my last Impreza ... twas a 2000 L wagon 5sp ... my first manual trans car. http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/4047/threesmallmediumsmall.jpg Had 16" S...
