I'd love to see a breakdown of the available builds. I imagine you'd need a tesseract to correctly show them all.

TDI is the big reason, here. But that aside, I do like the subie, but I'd rather have the maturity of a Golf variant. And, of course, the user base is hugely active and hence they are easy to DIY.

Maybe.. depends on the brown. VAG has a couple of good ones but a couple that are bland, too. The Porsche anthracite brown metallic is pretty close.. a little darker would be perfect.

The R400 is a car I would lust after. I would drive to the dealer and sit in it and test drive it. And then I would go home, because there are a lot of things I would spend 45k on before an R400.

This seems like a lot of extra work... and a fair amount of the height is lost to suspension compression. I don't know that it's worth the cost.

Indifferent young Bruce Willis is indifferent

I know it's a concept, but...

I've got two for you, and both are debatable.

Bah I hope this isn't lost in the grey..

The Focus is the closest thing I can think of. Takes a second glance to note it.

It's so easy to add to used cars, now. $150 for a decent head unit, adapter, and face plate. I've put bluetooth in like 5 mk4 VWs at this point.

I used to make that argument, but I've stopped, because transplants are so prevalent everywhere now. No, I think the winter driving here is so bad because of the type of winter this area gets. Snow in the morning, melt in the afternoon, frozen by evening rush hour. In Chicago, it snows and they move it and it stays…

The Trans Am WS6 (2002ish?) holds my land speed record of 186 mph. Not my car, I was young, I have no idea what the guy had done to it. In retrospect, that is insanely fast for an LS1?

You like Ike, I like Ike, everybody likes Ike.

How has it been "restored to running condition" without even smudging that dust? Someone put some careful thought into making this thing look that way for the pictures.

Edit: anyone care to get me out of grey? I miss the occasional interaction with you guys.

Came to say this; figured someone would beat me to it. I've changed over to rooting for the new Waggy, now.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think I've seen you post a waggy on at least 3 occasions, now. I approve. :)

A Brute is a great choice. Air down the tires, push down the pedal.
