Poll : Should Art Keep His Car?
 
Should I? Eh?

Seems with the new basically really cheap mods and spending the money for the 30k, some people think I should keep it. Needless to say, I am still testdriving 3 more cars (tomorrow actually), still might be a option and a cheap one at that.

Nick Koan 2004-07-29 11:28 PM

It looked pretty sick tonight, I must admit.

So, what cars are you test driving? Dodge Magnum? what else?

Kevin M 2004-07-29 11:30 PM

It's only money. Get the Legacy GT.

ArthurS 2004-07-29 11:32 PM

Magnum, G35, TL, and the Legacy (again).

Remind me/us, what do you want out of your car?

Looking good, but I prefer a MT myself.

Well, as you can tell with my 25k miles per year, I drive a lot. I like a car that is comfy but still quick and sporty. I don't think I will autocross with this car or if I get a new one, going to get a dedicated car so I don't beat up on the newer one. I would rather a MT if I get a new car. Gas milage is not that big of a issue, but hopefully better then 15 :lol: .

Umm.....and it has to come in black :twisted:

Clear Bra, and keep the Wagon...

Track car... I continue to think the Miata is one of the best bargains for a track car.. You can get a fully race prepped Spec Miata for 10K or so and go bang doors, and you can get a late model one like Sue's for 15K or less, and you can spend as little as a couple K on an earlier 1.6

They are incrediably reliable, handle very well right out of the box, respond well to simple upgrades, and are just plain a hoot to drive... One of the best smile generators ever created IMHO

I have been thinking about a miata....and also a Mr2. Wonder how the Mr2 would handle out there. One I am thinking was the 200-hp turbo version. The year before the new ugly ones.

Magnum = That thing got a "Hemi" jokes all the time, its big and ugly, gas what gas its gone, motor wont make it past 35,000 before you start to rebuild.

G35 = Super sexy but only fits 2? trust me those are not back seats. I would buy this car but might just get the 350Z instead as I think it comes with more sporty stuff

TL = why is this on the list? you want a Honda <shakes head> I'm sorry but thats a down grade from even the wagon

Legacy = YOU MUST BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)

I think you should hang on to the Wagon as a daily driver... it's got plenty of power, though some lag from the auto tranny... it's fairly comfortable... has decent cargo room... is partially paid for... and looks fucking awesome now that it's cleaned up and painted. Just get that bump out of the grill, get those headlights wired up properly (and if you really want to do it to it, I think I know how to fix the RHD pattern cut-off issue... it will involve taking the lights apart and cutting the metal guide in there). Finally toss on a set of 17" rims for the summer (I miss your formels man :(). That thing is awesome!

The only reason not to keep the wagon... Legacy GT... 'cause it's everything you wagon is times 2. :twisted: All the rest of the cars mentioned are too expensive compared to what you'd be getting over the nice ass wagon you already have!

MattR 2004-07-30 10:24 AM

Ditto what Scott said, keep das wagon

ArthurS 2004-07-30 10:46 AM

That bump in the Grill is kinda odd. Hell, its only been on there for 4 days...wonder why it happened? Might go back to the good ol' STi genuine grill.

As for the lights, driving home was fun. I didn't realize how far up and to the left they were. I was definatly blinding people on the way back. I need to get those adjusted tonight.

Only issue I think I am going to have with the wiring is with the Foglights. I want the fogs to be able to be on when brights are on.

I'm wondering if the headlights might be pinching it a little?

Also, the STi grill (w/o the STi logo!) would look great too... either way you should sell one or the other to Tyson, since he needs a grill to match his headlights. :twisted:

ArthurS 2004-07-30 10:49 AM

As for Mike's post,

I am not going to go for the Magnum. I read a lot more about it last night and decided against it. The G35 is still a option, but it would kill cargo room. The TL is just sick with the 6-speed. Still going to go check that out also.

sybir 2004-07-30 10:59 AM

Keeeeeeeeep the wagon..........


Wagons rule!

In all seriousness, your car looks so clean, it'd be a shame to get rid of it for something with a lot less utility.

JC 2004-07-30 11:16 AM

Michael Hohl is running an add for all '05s a $1 over invoice. I dunno if it's BS but it's worth checking out. I vote for a GT wagon.

I agree... keep your car or go LGT wagon!!

I like wagons. The cargo space has proved useful many times.

To each his own; I've never liked the way wagons of just about any kind look.

sybir 2004-07-30 12:11 PM

Fair enough, I'm not a fan of Mustangs after 95, hehe. To each his own.
