Are you me?

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they say they would not do exactly this (stuff a V8 in a Wrangler) ages ago because it was a hilariously bad idea with this platform?

Exactly, if you look at what you get compared to the original specification and adjust for inflation, who cares? The bigger “issue” in the price is the loss of the tax incentive.

Now if only it wasn’t so awkward looking, or have a reputation for build issues.

IIRC, didn’t H-D getting spanked repeatedly by the UJM drive them out of racing way back in the day?

Which is odd, because Subie parks the intercooler on top on the engine and the hoodscoop, IIRC, is what pushes air over it. There’s definitely some bent fins but I’m seconding the crud diagnosis because to really clean it you’d probably need to pop it off and spray it with a garden hose.

But for a mere $500 more, those wheels are yours! So, technically accurate? Anyway, it’s getting deeper when you read the ad.

“I purchased this car recently with the intention of making a track/autocross car however I found a 2012 STI that I really like so this is up for grabs.”

So Tool’s essentially just flipping it…

Sooner is probably for the best. One of the reasons I bought a launch PS3 is due to more or less skipping the PS2 in favor of the DC and OG Xbox. I’ve admittedly no clue how Sony is handling BC on an architectural level this go ‘round but the way they stripped meaningful hardware BC out of the PS3 was infuriating,…

Sooooo. . . Pottstown. You ain’t kidding about “neighbor:” we’re in the Spring-Ford area!

I’m on the edge of Chester County and will confirm that it gets rural with a quickness, at least when they’re not buying up farms to build “attached-singles/luxury carriage homes” because townhouse is too “downmarket” now.

To elaborate, there’s an old saying about Pennsylvania:

“You’ve got Philly on one side,…

If it has two doors and is not a time-attack track weapon, it damn well better be row-your-own. It is extraordinarily rare that the automatic yields the better experience.

I live on the pastoral edge of the Philly ‘burbs before it gives way to what we politely consider “Pennsyltucky.” Before the Coof hit, my commute…

That was my main concern in the scenario. I don’t think you’d lose quite as much in the first year due to sheer demand outstripping supply but if the dealers are allowed to pile “market adjustments” on those trucks you’ll be fuckered. I think Ford also knows that would make for a PR disaster of epic proportions and…

And this right here is the problem:

Mein Gott! TI back in stock? Hell, it’s a buck twenty of Amazon.  Sadly it’d just be a dust collector at this point in my life.

“. . . Certainly the PS3. . .”

Ahahahhahahhahahah<breathe>ahahhahahahahahahahahahahah. . . .

And promptly jettisoned it at the first minor revision, then finished flushing the “turd” by the release of the slim. One of the only times buying a launch console truly payed off for me. Granted, Sony claims they had the data…

Personally, I dig the ‘ti, though I’d be sorely tempted to up-engine it with one of the I-6s. I’ve just heard it get a lot of hate over the years from the “purists,” probably for being the cheap-seats. Well, that and the four-pot.  Shame it was a bit of a sales failure here: in another time and place, I’dve gotten my…

You have the red-headed stepchild of the E36 platform. I like the cut of your jib already.

Now that you’ve voiced it, you know, I wouldn’t be surprised one whit if he put up some metaphorical walls on that matter, which again, underscores how cartoonishly villainous this turd is.

The problem is they knew him from The Apprentice, which rehabbed him as a savvy business man, rather than the joke-of-a-con-man/failed casino operator he was prior to the aughts.

That said, Jesus H. Jumping Christmas, I get the feeling I really need to reread Hitler’s Willing Executioners and I might maybe get a grasp…

You’ve never been to “Pennsyltucky, I see.

Nothing wrong with hitting up the ol’ smorgasbord (as the buffet’s all but dead in the ‘burbs) but I’ll be damned if over two-thirds of the vehicles in the parking lot at any given moment do not feature a GVWR of at least three tons and a lotta change.
