I have read statements to the effect “I don’t want something with a name” when talking about luxury cars. On this site even (in one of those “what should I buy” columns). Probably because of Ze Germans (and Swedes), many people associate cars that have alphanumeric codes instead of names with class. Which is honestly…
I’m not saying it’s not an old man car, but that ain’t no Buick. It’s a cool old man car! It’s what you get when you’ve lost interest in canyon carving and racing, but you still care about style. And 5.8s 0-60 + 14.2 quarter mile is no slouch, especially in an early-2000s luxury car decidedly not designed for the drag…

That’s the idea, but I’ve had 87 octane rated cars perform very poorly when using 85 in the mountains. Switching to the mid grade fixed the problem.
I see no shame in your dad driving a V8 powered, FR layout convertible in an unusual color.
CF isn’t particularly strong in the direction you want. The resin would probably crack. That’s if it didn’t burn.
Friend of mine swapped the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension from a bugeye into a 98 Brighton coupe over the winter. Just that is a total monster, and what you’re talking about would have 30% more power!
Show her this.
Yep: Saheed’s the one with the RS. He’s waiting on listing it until it’s closer to being ready, but he mentioned it at the last parts delivery. I was thinking of grabbing it, but I don’t think I’ve got the time or space for it.
Haha! I’m in Knoxville, so seems likely. East Tennessee Subaru Enthusiasts?
So depending on which one you think it is, it could mean “Be wild like from Zagreb” or “Be a colossus from Zagreb”. Or maybe “Drive the wild car from Zagreb”?
What did you do to get that?
deiv, translates to the Bulgarian word for “girls.”
Tennessee. I have a nationwide Autotrader alert set up for them though, and they’re usually no more than $6k when they show up in the more expensive areas (WA, CO). It’s clearly the best body style sold in the US, but since you can get a bugeye WRX for $5-7k, I don’t think many could justify a 165hp NA for 4x the…
They’d have had to import one just for this. Other cars they’ve tested which weren’t street legal were track only cars, probably owned by British/European jillionaires who lent them out.
For $25k, you’ve gotta be talking about one which is already WRX swapped. I see NA GM chassis Imprezas (including 2.5RSs) all the time in my area, usually for $3-4k. Cars don’t typically rust here. Get a wrecked or rusted out WRX for another $3k and swap all the parts over yourself.
I just saw a flawless BRAT for sale for less than a third of this. And when I say flawless, I mean SoA should buy it and put it in the atrium of their HQ. It looked like it had just rolled off the lot.
