i think the only problem is the paint that should buff right out but they have damaged 4 panels, not cheap to get 4 panels repainted
It seems so. Two completely different car pricepoints, and autos all together. The subbies are good cars, but not as great as the fan boys think they are. Straight line or windy road, hell even durability the Z takes it out. What is the warranty on a Subie anyhow, 36k miles, 3 years? Nice car, just isnt for me. Here are some track times, mine comes in at 16, the highest a Subies comes in is in the mid 60's.

Sweet, think so? How would your car do on these roads? I mean, the Z06 is a great car, don't get me wrong, but honestly, I don't think its worth the price. They're, what, $70k and up? Meanwhile, for half that, and with an engine that is more than half the size, you can get just about the same speed, one could argue better all around handling, and comparable speed. Yeah, two totally different types of cars, of course, but it's just funny that the guys with money feel they're so invincible just because they have a more expensive car that turns more heads at first glance. Let alone guys like me who better STi speed and performance at a third of the cost by doing a swap. Can you imagine seeing a 97 OBS wagon cruising around the track next to a Z06 and not looking totally out of place? ******** yeah, thats where the fun is!
Dude its not about money. I hate elitist wankers just as much as you do. If it was about money I would of purchased a Bentley GT or a baby Ferrari. I just like Vettes. Muscle cars in particular. I understand most people buy items based on collective value perception, but I buy mine shit because I like it. The subies, are great. And awefully ugly as well. I mean, you can not tell me they are not absolutely ugly pieces of shit. Its like getting married to a girl that knows how to ride a cock like no other, but shes ugly as sin..... if it works for you do it man. Personally, my instinct to breed isnt exactly turned on by visually unapealling women. I just work different bro, thats all. Mine is sexy, and knows how to ride. Im out, take care. lol. JAJA!
Haha, totally agree on the ugly thing. When I bought my WRX, the bugeye version, I realized it was totally ugly, but, if it makes sense, the ugliness is something I fell in love with. I loved, for example, having fogs that are bigger than my regular headlamps. Haha. by the way, my dream car?
How do you like that thing in the snow, by the way? I've been helping my housemate wrench on his bronco 4x4. Did an EFI conversion on it... some photos...
Ontario (province where I live) has now made it illegal to put NOS (nitrous oxide) in your vehicle. just something I thought I'd share. I'll post pics of my new wheels when the winter's over and the snow is gone
NOS is great because all the ricers who worship the fast and the furious series absolutely love it, and they use it to blow the ******** out of their ************ engines.
My car is a beast in the snow..........with snow tires. The first day it snowed last year I didnt put them on yet and I got stuck in a parking lot. I was only parked for 5 minutes lol. When you have snow tires its amazing how good it is..But without snow tires you wont move.
I kept corolla beater for few years in case I need to take car to RFK or it snows but it just wasn't worth insurance and constantly moving parking spot so I don't get towed (only have 2 parking spaces) so I got rid of it. There hasn't been heavy snow in a while anyway, if there is I'll take bus or walk to work or just drive real slow. Anyway, keeps me happy (Own Goal Hat-Trick if I lived near those roads I'd move. FFS that's worse than Croatian roads after tanks rolled them )
by "swap" I understood that he already had summers waiting at home. I need to buy new summer tires, and thinking of getting a new set of allow rims to go with them.
