If your looking for a little bit more room and still have AWD, Turbo, and Autotragic then look at the Legacy GT Wagons. Can do all the same mods as a WRX and have a bit more luxury and room.

Time to Climb
i purchased this damned nissan because it made sense - fuel efficient, cheap, roomy, beat it up and not even care - but i can't stand it!
subaru auto trannys are abysmal, so i'd go for the 6spd if i went that route i think
too many choices
i still like that lancer ralliart wagon but know nothing about it really. good thing i haz the interwebz
how is mitsu reliability?

U should already know that nothing fun is fuel efficient LOL...
Personally, id never go Mitsubishi just because of all of the horror stories ive heard. My cousin had one of the 1st gen eclipses, it was crap. My ex had one of the newer eclipses, crap. Then another cousin had a used galant, that was in the shop every other week. So he decided to lease a lancer. Figured brand new so there would be no issues, well he had to trade in his car FOuR times before the initial terms of the lease was up.
Now, I've also heard ppl say they haven't had any probs but who knows. No one that i know 1st hand has been so lucky Lol

I do. But, with the amount of miles I drive in a year, getting 24 on the highway is just not going to cut it. I need at least 29+, so FWD V6 is my best bet of power and economy. The Wagon was more fun than the Z IMO.
I could always give up the RS4 for a Sedan STi though. But I figured that my next toy after the RS4 would be an NSX instead.

You know it bud. You thinking about going to NOPI Sep 22-23?
That's the East Coast Fitment Festival. Tomorrow is Flawless Fitment II @ Nascar Technical Institute. Next week is Freshwise @ Metrolina Auto Group. The SE is on fire for shows/meets. I'm loving it.

I got Avant Garde sending me some free goodies. Trying to get them to hook me up with some wheels for the RX-7.
All these car events just keeps me motivated, I'm loving it. Just bought an engine stand today. Hopefully the RX-7's motor will be sitting on it by next week.

Aired Out TLS
Guys, i'm riding solo tomorrow. Maybe i will meet up with you guys at C&C then cruise with you guys to the Flawless Fitment Meet? My street friends isnt really into car meets and stuff. So see you guys in the morning.
Sean your putting alot of miles on the TL huh? Haha, but dam im low as hell now since the import alliance meet. Scraping fenders and everything. May raise the car a little after this weekends meets. Car isnt too functional and my ass/butthole gets tighten up everytime i come up to some bad roads.

HAHAHA I used to do that , when I had my VW GTI ! It was so low that everytime I saw a bump or dip in the road i cringed ! I thought a few times I was going to take the oil pan off with some of the bump/dips ! I finally ordered some motor mount spacers and raised the car up "some"

On the way to the meet from cars and coffee..didn't even take pics there.
SOHO Motorsports 350 and Eurowise M3..
I have a major TE37 fetish..
Black and Blue. Gold and Aqua.
Ended up at Jason's house.
Eurowise is having an event next weekend called Freshwise. Tell your euro homies.

Damn, is that why you guys rolled out of C&C so early? I finished my lap of the lot and came back around and you guys were heading out. Good to see you all...even if it was a quick hello. Pictures look awesome. I recognize a few of those cars from C&C. Guess you guys weren't the only one meet hopping

Definitely a crazy fun weekend for sure with two meets and a pool party to cool it off at the end. I ended spraining my ankle pretty good while hanging at the house after both morning meets.
Yeah I looked around to try and tell you about everything before you left but I couldn't find you. Place feels so much bigger than the old location.

Yeah I found that last week and it would be cool to own but you could never drive it anywhere but the track which would suck.
