Outstanding! I’m usually not the interested in what gets put out in the morning jams, but today I am! Legendary band and one of their best songs.

Saab. Get the Saab! Otherwise I like the Merc if. IF there is a shop by you that “likes” to work on these. 

It sure sounds to me like a lot of these people aren’t able to drive to the car. At. All. And instead just get lost or frustrated when it won’t slide like a drift mode RS or something. A few of them even almost “get it” mentioning that it’s a fine balance and if you treat the throttle right the car will fly off the…

These motors are famous for carbon build up. I’ve looked into and wanted to own one, but never have so I’m not quite sure how frequent that is in the real world vs. boogy man (or men) myth. Like the Porsche IMS bearing debate.

And above all, remember the old racing adage: “They always seem to run best right before they blow up.” 

It’s old tint, nothing special about it.

Here it is tucked away in it’s new home. Needs plenty of work (aka, not really as pristine as JC would make it look.) Namely it immediately needs brakes all around and lower front suspension links, before it’s really ready to be driven any appreciable amount on the street, but it’s all there and it’s all mine!

So you’re tell us that your birthday gift to yourself was picking a foreign Escort, getting it soaked in the name of “fun” and then shoving it out the garage door?!

Eh, one more. Just to keep the party going.

Also, don’t forget Sianz jumped to Subaru in 1995, right as they were coming to power so to speak.

Oh... I thought you were going to say 7 speed gearboxes... (joking.)

Yes, yellow is a rather acceptable color for cars of this ilk.

Yeah, but that doesn’t change it from being a shitty one. (Also, I don’t see anyway I implied mine or any other was not an auto?)

I don’t follow you.

I don’t know about trading up, but it regularly appears on lists of cars owned for the longest periods of time.

The more I see it in person the more I really like the side to rear views, but then the front is UGHHH. But like you said... that’s Toyota right now.

I drive a 2013 for many of the same reasons. I needed a “real” car and frankly hate anything that is auto / cvt. I couldn’t afford any of the sporty sedans or wagons, but wanted a car that moved when I floored it and Toyota’s V6 is one of the best for that along with reliability and maintenance costs. I much prefer…

Ha, I get it. Nice.

Can’t have Spoon Honda’s without some yellow!
