I doubt that it would have the power or the top end that you need though...

no no no..... subie will stay. but perhaps later down the road when/if we need an SUV type vehicle, a used one might suffice. Phil gets the next new car (most likely a WRX wagon).

yah you know bigger battery and all, maybe add a solar panel into the roof

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:40 am

Guess my new car has been decided for me...Or I get the Legacy and she gets an SUV cause I'm not into the bigger vehicles, I like them small or low to the ground.

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:44 am

i already told you, you're getting an STI and that's all there is to it. suck it up and take it like a man.

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:52 am

yeah... STI... *drool*but your right, everything is always decided for ya lol. Though that looks kinda like a forester, I like the foresters but again... to SUVish for me to completely convince myself I could get used to driving it.

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:01 am

hey, there aint no kiddies around, get what you want man! (STI may be a bit pricey, but dreams are good to have) i think a WRX wagon would be a great car to have! kind of like a really fast vibe AWD, but with actual mods available.

ToolGuy · Post by **ToolGuy** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:01 am

No, you get the new car this time! Hey you moved to Alsaka and are drivng the older car, you are due! We will not have it any other way!!!!!!!! Buy her some jewlery and you will be fine...

We got a red one in the show room with gold rims package. Its sweet. But I'm undecided... don't need another wagon if she wants an SUV...

What about the replacement Neon, the Caliber!

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:29 am

Um... NO

ToolGuy · Post by **ToolGuy** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:33 am

Yeah, it pretty much IS a Vibe!

ha ha ha! didn't you see the part where i said Quote Â»no no no..... subie will stay. but perhaps later down the road when/if we need an SUV type vehicle, a used one might suffice. Phil gets the next new car (most likely a WRX wagon).he gets the next new car. plus i really still like my LGT. in 2 yrs i'm allowed to MOD IT! whoo hooo!!! first thing on the list will be COBB stage 2, spitting out about 320-350 hp and tq! mmmmm mmmmm good!!!! if i had that, then he could have his STI, but the issue of insurance pmts still remain the same... you'd be spending $600 for car pmt plus another $250 for the insurance! better to get the WRX and mod the hell out of it. That's why i like the LGT because it can be modded above a stock STI with a lot less cost and insurance! plus, it's a great sleeper car

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 2:40 am

she's just afraid cause the STI is 300 stock with mods that can push that bad boy well past 350 We'll see how it goes. I may be able to put down a nice good down payment plus working here gets me a deal so insurance could be the only "expensive" thing about it. But as said, we'll see. May change my mind in a few years and want something else.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 6:38 am

like i already told you. when you can make a good $10K more than me for the next few years, you can buy whatever the hell kinda car you want. but don't get all upset when i trade mine in 2 yrs and get a porsche.....

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 1:02 pm

Settle down guys, it's not a competition! At the end of the day, you'll both go to the same home, doesn't matter what brought you there or how long it took you to get there! er, let's talk about this Toyota again!

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 4:39 am

well she sets a rule she knows I can't meet as its impossible for me to make 60-70k my first or second year at my new job. She is to competetive to allow me to make more money then her anyway... so... But anyway back to the topic at hand about the toyota...

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 6:04 am

ya, i'd like to get a "family" car or SUV type for hauling a trailer or toys. if it can get good mileage on top?? with power??? hell ya! but that's a long way down the road. my neighbor bought a highlander earlier this summer and boy is it nice! so to have one that gets over 30 mpg? wow! i hope some of the other car makers follow suit! it's great that you can now get a 4wd/AWD Suv with good power, torque and gas mileage! kudos to Toyota!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 6:05 am

hey, colonel! is that an STI wing on the top of your vibe?? lol and you got the Toyota decal backwards!

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 8:25 am

Why, yes that wing is from one of those! I was going to add two, but I installed the hood scoop instead. (removed)!The TOYOTA is backwards for when I'm out running a rally and I'm sliding sideways on the dirt that the people in front of me can look in their mirrors and see the logo the right way so they know what I'm driving.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 12:10 pm

...because it's so fast, i can't control it and they end up beating me, of course! i'm not a good enough driver to handle all that power! the $20 i spent in parts really, really paid off!!!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 12:18 pm

the honda vtec engine swap only cost $20??? DAMN!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 12:24 pm

lol. i have yet to go crawl through one at the dealership. but i don't want to do that cause then i'd want one and i just got a new car. i'd rather go crawl through a house so that i can be reminded of why i'm not to spend any money! lol
