Careful though, a certain consumer magazine says the ride will break your teeth and compress your spinal cord. Seriously, they said that.

-Both of my kids fell asleep in the back seat of one on Saturday. No signs of broken teeth or a spine injury. Huh.

Does the torque vectoring work on that?

In the local paper was an ad for a 73 Volvo 1800 Es wagon, supposed to be clean, runs and drives well $7900. With Twins in College I'm out of the market but if someone here is interested send me a PM or E-mail and I'll get you the contact info. I'm happy to stop and take pictures, test drive and the like. Cool car, on my wish list but not for a few more years. Frank

I live in Davenport IA, in the ad it says the car was originally from the Seattle WA area before coming here.

You'll love it. I've had mine for 3 months and it has been fun!

Re: Automobiles
What model did you get? Made any modifications? The only thing I have planned are rally armor mudflaps and a mild window tint.
I'm reeeally hoping the dealership gets their truck in early enough that they can prep it and I can pick it up tomorrow. Knowing it's there and I can't get it till Monday would be just about too much!

Re: Automobiles
I have a regular model WRX, 6 speed with the short throw and homelink mirror. (Seems to be standard options here)
Still need to get mine tinted, but I haven't had time. All I've done is a stealth mount hitch and tossed my Kuat bike rack on the back.

Re: Automobiles
Thx boss.
Long back-story here but the nut-shell version is that it's been in my family since my folks bought it in 1995 (it's a '93). It's got 360k on it but engine/tranny/birfields/etc/etc have <100k on them...ready for another 300k. :-)

Re: Automobiles
360K? That looks amazing!

Re: Automobiles
Yes 360k! My folks bought it 19 years ago with 35k miles on it.
Like I said earlier my old-man went through it with a fine tooth comb for my sister when she started driving it 5 years ago. She is moving to California for work at the end of the month and it won't pass CA smog (engine was from a 97...plus some emissions stuff may or may not have fallen off during the swap) and she wanted something with better mileage out there so she just picked up a '09 Mazda 3...I was happy to pay what she wanted for Brutus (it's been called that as long as I can remember).

Re: Automobiles
I need to drive 300 miles tomorrow morning. I think I will stick with an irrelevant predecessor.
GO!

Re: Automobiles
That's nice, but irrelevant.
I suppose you think the car just dies after the charge is depleted. Guess what - so does yours.
