That’s awesome, thanks for sharing. I have a 9-2x Aero and I got an 08 Tribeca for the wife... I wish I could have got her the 9-6x.

This explains why you and I like the first album, but not the subsequent ones. Very interesting:

What a great story. Maybe the best Torticle ever.

Yeah, the battery tripped me up once.  What’s different about the suspension?  Springs, shocks?  I replaced mine with STI pinks and KYB Excel-Gs for a sportier ride.

I wish that my 9-2x had a center-mount ignition switch...

Agreed.

You could have a steam train
If you’d just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

This is why I can’t bring myself to consider them as an option for a sporty car.

I like that flat gray wrap you put on your GTI, Hans.

Is he saying, “vagina?”

Agree.

Love the custom pinstripes.  Not for my own car but it’s perfect on this one.

I live in Southeast Pennsylvania. I assume that rust consumed them or the local economy pushed them to other areas of the country.

Thanks for the reply. It’s not my cup of tea, but I can see how that might be appealing. There’s none of those left in my area, so I’ll stick with my (essentially) stage 2 WRX, even if I would get waxed by you.

I’m not trying to crap on everyone here, but I just don’t see the appeal. If you can even find them, these cars are not worth modding, let alone to 500hp... rare FWD 80s/90s Chrysler crapcans, FWD Mitsu crapcans, the Chrysler TC abortion, and minivans? Yuck.

Really enjoyed this post. I only share a small percentage of automotive quirk fetishes with Torch, and this is one.

WTF has a 6G72 and is worth modding to over 500hp? Mitsu 3000GT VR-4 or Dodge Stealth R/T, but those already came TT... I can’t think of anything else. Post some links please.

Been there, done that.
