Of course I'm going to recommend a Subaru. You'll probably be looking at high mileage (125K+) late 90s Subarus. They are usually pretty sound without too much rust. Just make sure there's a record of the timing belt being done around the 100K mark. Worse thing you'll likely have to deal with is a headgasket. If it comes to that, ZB has them down to a science. Good luck.

Nice, what's going in there?

I really need to subscribe to iRacing so I can drive that course whenever I feel like it.

Careful with mailing shit these days. They can tag it as trying to mail a biohazard and you'll end up with the cops or worse at your door. Stick to rocks and bricks.

"awesome pants" + Shuffle = cooler because you can't see the planted foot shuffling them around.

Build it and do this: http://www.alcan5000.com/ Kirkland Washington to Achorage Alaska.. A friend of mine and I are thinking of building a Subaru for this and going for unofficial fastest time.

Just plain awesomesauce.. I want to do the PPIHC at least once. Downside is, it's slated to be 100% paved by 2012. Probably, when the Monster finally breaks the 10 minute barrier, it's what sets the world off its axis and destroys everything.

This. I laugh when someone comments that they don't like the idea of RFIDs, or cameras in public places, or other ways the "man" might track them, then they pull out a cell phone. Cell phone companies have been able to track phones from DAY ONE. If you are within range of three cell towers, they can pinpoint you. Two, and they have a general idea. One, and you're within a circle around that tower. They don't need GPS, they can use their basic infrastructure. When cellphones started to become easily portable and theft of cell codes and the phones themselves started to rise, I remember one company (forget which) announcing that they could protect their customers by monitoring their usual useage areas and tagging calls from outside those areas as potential theft. That ability hasn't gone away. Come to think of it.. credit card companies do that too.... Where you are and what you are doing is already being tracked, compiled, and sold to advertising companies. Grocery card? Good for the sales, but don't think for a moment that Kroger/Giant Eagle/etc. aren't compiling what you buy into a database so they know what to stock in each area. There's no way to stop it. Data flows both ways.

How about the line of cars at the end?

That's not LOL, that's awesomesauce. Although, he's holding the sword backwards. Even if it is double edged, which would be silly if he prefers to use it in a reverse grip, the main cutting edge should be forward.

And that's not even one of the toys that can transform.. That's just the pose-able action figure.

It doesn't drive.. They've moved so far from function that they removed the engine. Talk about stupid. What good is having the biggest rims if you can't drive the car?? That's not the biggest rim, that's just sculpture. At that point, I think the Ohio Fair has a bigger rim at several stories tall.

..like a NINJA!

Taken out by an Icecream Truck.. Bet he's never going to live that one down.

Rims are just dumb looking, as are the non-recessed scallops on the gold car. THe nose looks too much like the bow of a boat.

The one they have is an 08. I'm not too picky though newer is always better. Tough part is finding one in my price range. They are borderline enthusiast cars because of the turbo so they tend to go for a bit more. But their retention of value is one reason I want one, so that I have something to trade in a few years. One downside of driving junkers is that when you need a new car you have nothing worth trading.

Went by there today.. Turns out the car was in the local Subaru dealership getting the turbo replaced. Good, because I would have likely had to replace it myself. Bad, because the shop was closed and I couldn't even take a look at it. I should have called first, but I was looking forward to the road trip anyways. Thing was, the salesperson didn't even introduce himself or get my name. *shrug* The guy at the Subaru dealership was much more forthcoming. I might encourage him to scoop the LGT out from under the other guy. As a side note, there's a restaurant called "Dao, Modern Asian Cuisine" near by. Fantastic food, and some of the best sushi I've had. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. If you're down that way, I highly recommend the place. Kings VW, not so much...

I'm eyeballing a used car they have. Anyone deal with them before? Should I stay clear?

Needs more tire. Otherwise, that's pretty cool. Looks as wide as an H1.

That's why the real pull-off events are done on the pavement. Have to have traction to actually get anything done.
