Wow, never thought I'd see the day that Kevin Allen bought a car that isn't a Subaru and it hasn't even triggered the apocalypse, yet...

Feels kinda weird driving it so far, but it's fun, and drives great. A few times I've turned and floored it expecting it to rotate and surge forward like the STi, but it doesn't do that. :lol: If you toss it a little to get the rear to slide first, it drifts nicely, though. And the handbrake works GREAT. :D

Steve - Seems like that's exactly what Kevin did. 2 seater, great handling, no roof, no torque. A classic sports car. BTW - what's with the photo of the four door sedan? :P

if you're gonna hang the ass end out in a car, this would seem to be an appropriate choice Art. besides, obviously Kevin is new to all of this, maybe i can sway him to the dark side. i just don't see him driving anything domestic. ya know what i mean? 8)

I rarely visit the internet on the weekends. I prefer to get paid when I'm bashing BMWs. :D

Nope. Really wanted to, but Liz woke up feeling sick, so we didn't go. Instead, once she started feeling better, we went for a spirited drive through the Johnston County countryside and did some drifting and handbrake turns.

It's for sale? Where?

Heck we could have talked about trading my S2k for your Sti...



It hasn't been posted for sale anywhere yet. Maybe later today. Need to figure out what stays with it and what goes, and write up the ad.
