For real? That's my fantasy ride.

Have you had it on the track? If so, what's the top speed you've reached? If no, what's the top speed you've done on the freeway?

I used to drive a jeep until one day I mistakenly did not reciprocate a jeep wave to an ex cop and he used his connects to find out where I work and he actually confronted me on my way out to my car after my shift at Jimmy johns. he completely sold me on electric cars and how theyre better for the enrivonment and I've been driving a Prius ever since. that was 20014

I drive a 2019 civic type r. I was between that and the veloster n for hot hot hatchiness but my loyalty to the Honda gang was too strong. The wife drives a 2016 Elantra GT. Haven’t had any issues with either cars but I think the next purchase will be something I can move things in. I wish the small truck never died in the states, having something the size of a 92 ford ranger without the age of a 92 ranger would be perfect.

That was my friends car and I was actually super impressed. It was like the first turbo economy car I know about it saw around here.

I actually have 2011 wrx hatchback I bought it in persob as my first car my parents didn't give me that was about 1k... It's still running perfectly I only use it to commute.

Since I don't drive much, do I need a new belt? I need new tires badly, but they also want me to do the timing? belt because it's been ten years even though I only have 59.5k miles on the car. I think the recommended mileage is 90k or ten years.

I know I need tries, they have like maybe a millimeter tread left.

Do I need to replace the belt too? I don't want to pay $1500 but I know if a boxer engine goes out of timing it explodes...... I'd like some advice?

As long as the aftermarket springs are progressive it'll probably help that platform. I had an xA and it handled like a Yaris until I put Eibachs on it and dropped it 1.5" . After those and the rear sway bar it handled more like a Fit.

It sucks but if the recommended interval is 90k or 9 years or whatever it’s better to pay the 1500 now to keep the car running than have your engine go kablooey. It’s really lovely that you have to replace the tires on top of that- I’ve owned four Subarus and it’s always a bummer replacing all four tires in one go :geno:

I drive a really cool sports car that goes fast and definitely not a 2010 Toyota Corolla with a pretty noticable dent on the gas door thing because someone hit it at the airport and the TSA "officer" told my wife to keep it moving rather than file a report about a hit and run.

I legit want to get there - but my wife won't let me. She made me sell my ZX-14R if I was going to get the S6....she also says dumb poo poo like "You should pay off the house before you buy stupid cars."

My wife does that too, but only until I buy whatever I'm looking at, and then she falls in love with it and wants to drive it all the time. The XRS is her daily, she loves it.

She also used to ride motorbikes with me, but we don't have the time anymore and decided to stick to mountain biking for now.

Hang in there man, you'll get there one day :)


edit: I think 5 cars is probably our limit, but only because that's the number of parking spots we reasonably have at our house. If we can swing getting a ranch somewhere eventually, she's down to have "a whole field of cars"

They're all the same 2008-2014. You're probably thinking of the much cooler xB.

This is not mine, but exactly like it:



It has 220k miles and other than oil, tires, a water pump and door lock actuators (15min job) it just keeps going. My wife bought it new to commute to college and once it was paid off, we kept it and sold my Focus SVT which was infinitely more fun, but probably would have been dead by now and would have been a pain with car seats.

In all seriousness, it was the right call as my 2 herniated disks weren't agreeing with the bike anyway but I being an idiot kept riding it. At 6'6" there aren't really other bikes that appeal to me and mange to be even remotely comfortable. She's been overall super supportive of the bike and rode on the back and never gave me poo poo for riding or the level of hooliganism....
