How cool would it be if they gave this thing 3-pedals and a shifter in the middle? #savethemanuals

Bingo! 

Am I the only opportunist here when I see a front clip that can go on a regular Impreza? 

Easy - LC, Taco, 4Runner, Hilux

Toyoburu or Miata. You’re young and unattached! And invest the rest on a down payment for a small house or apartment! 

I have this recurring dream where I buy a Qfolio and swap in a 6spd.

I’ve got an MK7.5 Sportwagen 6spd w/4Motion. It’s fantastic. I can confirm that an R version would have made it fantastic-er. Thanks to the MQB platform though, there are people swapping wrecked R motors into the regular Sportwagens. 

I always thought these were really really ridiculously good-looking. 

You know what? I’m ok with this article. 

While I don’t have an R or GTI, I can concur that the MK7(.5) is fantastic (with the exception of some persistent reliability issues). I have an ‘18 Golf Sportwagen 4Motion 6spd. It’s the last manual, turbo, AWD wagon ever sold. The 4Mo Sportwagens are basically Golf R Wagons with the smaller motor!   It’s also my…

San Fucking-cisco. Is it me, or is SF turning into a west coast Florida? Actually, I get the feeling all of America is turning in to Florida...

That’s what’s up Tom! I’ve been doing BJJ for a number of years! I suck terribly at it and always will but boy do I love it!
Also, my money is on Zucks. He’s a decent grappler for having just recently started.

I’d still take it! 

God I want this car so bad. I saw quite a few in Dubai last year, and even with the plethora of Lambos and Bentleys, the Jimny still stuck out like a sore thumb in the best way possible. 

Not sure if I’d call it travel - more of a commute. But back in 2005 we had this horrible ice-storm and my university’s policy on closing down the school is, it doesn’t. Like even during state of emergencies. It was so bad that cars leaving the lot would just slide down the hill uncontrollably. Took me 45 minutes to…

that’s a whole different kinda freakay

Oh my goodness! You mean to tell me an unregulated, secretive, non-asset based, “financial instrument” that was created to hide shady arms deals, child pornography, and illicit drugs, and fuelled entirely by speculation crashed. Wow, who could have seen that coming.

How about an Impreza? AWD since you’re in CT. Safe, reliable, and relatively low maintance. I really miss my ‘08 Impreza...

This car definitely seems like it’s better than the sum of all it’s parts. But, the previous one just looked so bonkers, that I loved it. Truthfully though, it’s tough to compete with the Golf R and the GR ‘Rolla at the price they’re going to sell them at. I think they may have priced it out of the buyer who would…
