At the end of the day, it is a heap of metal, plastic, glass and cloth. Never treat it as a living object!!!

Giving it a name, like one gives their kids and pets names. Comtemplating ditching a girl friend just because she puts her feet up on the dash, etc. These forums have seen several such discussions posted over the years and they always amuse me since my own priorities are different, not neccessarily correct

Had my '05 for years, love it as much now as I did when my wife picked it out (her, "I want the red one" me, "the one with the MOMO stuff?" her, "yes...what's a MOMO?" me, "never mind, good choice hon"). Taken it everywhere, its my daily driver, my daughter's ride of choice and even taking into account the turbo dying I still would buy a Subaru 5-door today without hesitation. My only complaint with Subaru is the gas mileage and no diesel/hybrid/electric option but thats a problem with most car makers today.

All of my parts seemed super kewl when I first put them on. Now the time I spend damning my decision to put them on is becoming more and more as time goes on. Especially considering how quick cars are getting from the factory. No more mods for me, I'm saving up for a 5.0 Mustang.

Everything I do today driving I learned from Autox.
1) Look ahead 2) Anticipate 3) Look ahead 4) Plan "what happens if" 5) Look ahead. --kC |

I just was out with my son last night. He's on his permit and has about 20 hours driving with me so far. We tend to drive at night on narrow, curvy roads and he's already practicing looking ahead. He'd tell me when he could see headlights around corners and he really was doing it. He'll be doing autocross in the spring |

There was some show on TLC or Discovery about Taboos and one was a guy that was in love with his car. He was kissing and rubbing it and other weird ****. My wife joked that could be me with my subie.

It really becomes objective based. Is it that you want the car "yours", or do you want it to be the "most of something for your money"? There will always be something faster, so the chase for that is futile. So it comes down to sentimental value or economic value. |

Sometimes making the green light isn't worth it..
There's a 5 second left-only light at the corner of my street, so I'm usually coming into the intersection pretty hot because it's a decent wait if you miss it. Coming home today I hit the turn doing 30-35 and lost traction exactly half into the turn, I was sliding straight for the freshest curb in Syracuse with my wheels turned, slammed it real good and bounced halfway back into the lane. I had a healthy intersection full of witnesses as well so I felt great. I sat there for a good minute just thinking "here we go" Yes, I'm a moron and a wreckless driver. I'll never hit a turn going too fast again, as I realize the danger I put myself and especially the other people around me in. I was just a little too eager to get home from work -_- And now I'm paying for it as I'm a self-fix guy with not much moolaaa. Bent control arm and possibly more, I'll have to take a good look into cracks and any other damage. Drive safe! |
