I don't hang around here because I own a sube...or even because I like them very much. Some lunatic sent me an email invitation one day (I believe it was Carter...blame him. Might not have been though). The only two that I would buy is a GC chassis, or an 04/05 STi (and maybe an '08 XTSports). Anything other than that, not interested.
There are plenty of other cars that I would buy before I even bought one of the two previous stated models. For instance:
I simply post a lot because there are more rally folk (or people interested in rally at least) on here than most other forums I peruse.
I also do things with a Jeep that most of the "Subaru Elitists" on this forums, who believe their cars to be the end all-be all of automotive technology, can't do with thier pretty blue grocery getters.
Sorry if that ruffles anyones feathers.
same with me. I go for physics of solid states, it ain't happening today.
Another thing...jdm is not a car builders car, it is jdm.
the new subes (post 89 legacy and onward) is not my interest.
My first awd drive was a 2 door jeep cherokee... four cylinder. how it went with 30 inch treads could only be four low.
the 87 sube I hang out with here is very specific as well.
the new subes have the advantage of at least some symmetry, but coming from japan.. it will never be a "best" ever again, because of the inline four .They cannot put that failing flunk of an engine away....so they give us a crappy boxer, instead of the genius it could be.
the sprites of pwer and short life thye give uis now can come from anything, even a bent 200 ci straight six...and japan is running like the retarded devil with that too...
long live rally racing, it proves many things beyond engines. most of us know what is good there, as the best, we just aint getting it.
