Down shift, warp speed, problem solved. The moral of this story: my TSX ain't a "sports car," but it sure plays the part when I ask it to.

I can't be bothered by what I don't see. My ignore list is short but notable.

Around here, Subis love to blow my doors off. I think they need to show they got $40k performance for $25K.
Heard a 16 year old boy killed three with a WRX, passing a trailer at 90mph in a 30 mph zone. The WRX replaced a riced out prelude he totalled. What were his parents thinking? This is a good compromise off the STI?

On Sunday I had a Porsche Cayenne S rev at me since I got out of the gym.
I'm not an idiot, so I did nothing but just go at normal speeds (was in a 35 zone anyways) but he just flew off. Too bad there are lights every 100 feet, and for the next 4 lights, he got a red light.
So every time we were stopped at the lights, he would rev like crazy glancing over to see what I was doing.
Either he just got the Porsche and was testing it, or always drives like that...
Car looked damn nice, but guy looked like a douchebag...

Yeah, I was worried about his brakes...
I just got new brake pads installed, so I've been gentle on mine these days.

I got a chance to drive the Cayenne a couple years ago and I'll just say that even though it's an SUV, it's still very much a Porche. Those things are such an absurd creation. It scares the hell out of me how many soccer moms I see in them. The twin turbo version has 450 horsies rocketing it's 5000 pounds around. Yikes.

I would have replaced it with a flip down head unit. I believe the limited package has leather, but the 2008 model year WRXs are absolutely hideous. The TSX is sublime relative to the WRX. Fornicate all that power in Subarus.

Neither lacks a period key.
I know I'm being excessively harsh but the comfort with mediocrity of much of today's youth causes me great distress about the future of our civilization. Stupid must not be allowed to proliferate.

Amen brother. Perhaps with a little more friendly reminding and the occasional scolding from our members, these slackers will remember that they did once get a lesson in basic grammar.

Hell, I type with proper capitalization, punctuation and spelling using just the numeric pad on my phone when I send text messages.
It's funny when I see emails going around at work with people typing like that not realizing how stupid it makes them look. Believe me, important people notice.

There's no more 'tsx4lyfe' and no reason I can see to keep this thread open now. If anyone would like to open another thread to discuss the TSX's merits as a sports car, or why it isn't one, feel free to. This one is done.
