My wife (Vicki) finally pulled the trigger and bought herself a new car. She will be stretching its legs this weekend. I think we will end up prepping it for STU action (maybe)

you don't like the paper mats? :)

oh, and there are already two car seats in it! Nothing like buying a car with 4 bucket seats for a family with 5 people.

I just wanted to state that is a REALLY nice car and I am REALLY proud to see a stick in there.

Now, if I can only get Stacy to do that.... ;)

Welcome to Subaru Touring Unlimited!

Well done. I love mine, but the gas mileage will be worse than your Z06.

Welcome to the world of Rotary engines. My 1980 RX7 did crap for gas mileage so I feel your pain.

Actually Graham, his car just happens to have the Mod Red interior. The first thing I noticed on the RX-8 wednesday night was that it had the same interior as his Z06.

How much did you have to pay for the girl in the backseat?
