I may have found a new car! - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Libila · 2006-06-19, 11:02 AM

MY98 STi Type R with 20,000 miles on it

No joke, I'm calling USAA in the morning.

Kevin M · 2006-06-19, 11:07 AM

That rules! Get the guy a deposit before you even bother with calling USAA though. I've lost 2 good car deals in the past from doing that.

Kevin M · 2006-06-19, 11:08 AM

Also, are you sure you want a RHD car on the Continent? (Which, I hear, is close to Europe.

)

MPREZIV · 2006-06-19, 11:26 AM

Oh dear god that's sexy... You luck bastard! Good shit dude!

Libila · 2006-06-19, 11:32 AM

Real quick, what time is it right now in the Central time zone?

I need to know so I can call USAA right when they open.

What 'choo talkin' bout?

Kevin M · 2006-06-19, 11:37 AM

Dude, it's 12:45 PST, 2:45 CST, so get on the horn.

I'm referring to the fact that the car is obviously RHD, and last I heard you were stationed in Germany which, like the rest of continental europe, is LHD. The rest was an inside joke a few of us remember as being the funniest thing I've ever done when drinking.

Libila · 2006-06-19, 11:43 AM

Bahh, I can't. I don't have access to a DSN phone right now.

Yes, having a RHD car may be a pain but I've seen quite a few people here with RHD cars. In fact, I met a TSgt last week with a very nice Toyota Mark ii that had something like 500 hp.

Send me a PM and fill me in on this joke. I need a good laugh.

Kevin M · 2006-06-19, 11:47 AM

That's a job for sybir, no PM required.

sybir · 2006-06-19, 11:55 AM

Let's just say that Kevin's normally tenuous grasp of European geography and sociopolitical structures isn't helped by "recovering" with breakfast at the Peppermill at 3:30 AM after a night of drinking.

Dave (skimonkey) was talking about the posessions he left with family in Switzerland when he was working in the UK, and mentioned all his skis were still over in Europe. (He's a crazy, cheese-eating Swiss surrender monkey who was "out of town when that shit happened" but that's not important right now).

Kevin gets this look in his eyes of complete awareness, and announces to the whole table, "Dude, your skis aren't in Europe, they're in Switzerland!"
As everyone stares in wonder, he keeps trying to explain the distinction, and it went downhill from there

Libila · 2006-06-19, 12:34 PM

BWAHAHAHA!

I found a DSN phone in the dorms and great news! Insurance on this baby is only $217 a month for full European coverage. I'll hear back on the loan application tomorrow.

You know you're in the military and have no other bills to pay when $217/mo sounds good to you.

Kevin M · 2006-06-19, 05:01 PM

Err, not really. Wouldn't you like to pay $217/mo. for what is essentially an STi, as a single twentysomething in a foreign country? I miss my active duty USAA rates...

I was paying that here, for a WRX! Of course I was 19, but it's not like I had any accidents, not even a ticket.

True, but I after I pay all three of my bills and grocery shoping I still have $1,800 a month extra.

JC, I wouldn't lie to you

Damn, I didn't know pay was still going up that fast. But, you are in teh Chair Force. You must be getting BAS or something?

I don't know what rates are like for an STi. I don't really want to have to pay $217 for insurance on any car these days. My point was, it's much more acceptable when most bills are paid for you.

Dood, I work from 7-4 Monday through Friday now, and that's it. I take that back, it's 7-lunch because after lunch we just play pool until it's time to go home...

+1 Tim

Kevin, I'm getting BAS which is $259-ish and COLA.

Now, the owner says he will deliver it too since I would have to wait on a tourist passport to go pick it up. Get this, we wants to meet at Nurburgring so he can have one last lap before he hands the keys over!

Things are looking good.

kidatari · 2006-06-20, 07:43 AM

Hey, can you get me that front bumper and lip?

Kevin M · 2006-06-20, 07:48 AM

You know if it was me I'd give you a straight trade + paint.

Wow and you were worried about not making enough?

Suddenly joining the AF is sounding much better than the other armed forces. I could drive sweet cars in foreign countries, exotic women, good pay, don't have to get shot at...

I pay <$200/mo for "what is essentially an STI", plus an SVX, plus a truck!

But I'm still in that horrible age bracket and European minimum insurance standards are MUCH higher than America's.

Jonny, I'm telling you, if you really want to join look at the Air Force first. I'm not going to pitch anything to you because friends don't do that shit, plus your smart enough to make up your own mind. Go in and destroy the ASVAB then you just may get your pick at any job you want. Don't leave anything to chance though, because that's what I did and now I have a super boring job.
