Re: Lancer Fail on Ebay
<sigh> If I didn't drive so much for work the SVX would be my only car. That is for certain.
Oh and maybe I should go ahead and put some nice flame decals on the 5, that might make it better.

Re: Lancer Fail on Ebay
Naw, just go for the flames sans the decals. Need a match?

your XJR looked dated when it came out new in 2003. Quote:

after having the interior apart, i'd say its a much better build quality than any Subarus i've had, including the SVX. hey Subaru, enough with the plastic clips already - try using some BOLTS here and there. previous EVO interiors were bland and cheap, but the X is actually pretty nice. it doesn't, however, have wood trim like Austin Power's cigar lounge, but then i don't think wood trim belongs in any car. i'll take the awesome Recaro seats over some leather lounge chairs.

I didn't say it was a race, I simply said the moron wannabe thought he was too cool to sit in traffic like the rest of rush hour traffic and tried in vain to pass a car which clearly had something his didn't at highway speed, torque. Obviously with my wife and kid in the car there was no racing involved, simply normal I-78 Friday afternoon traffic. Dated maybe, since its architecture dates to the late 60s, I should hope it is a bit dated. Since you only get to see the a$$ end so how would you know what the front looks like anyways. You bought a 13k crap box with the 27k turbo and recaro seat option. Sure looked as purposeful as the idiot behind the wheel looked pissed off to me. Now I know what you mean about pissing excel. As for wood interiors, just like a good quality leather. It will simply outlast any of that cheap plastic crap in most cars. It is also a whole lot more sustainable. I just ordered the 3rd Momo steering wheel for my TVR last week as it has that same awesome "quality" reputation as your recaro's do. So since you decided to drag Subaru's quality into it you might want to do a search as you defended their quality just a few years back when I complained about the poorly built Legos in my family. My have your tunes changed. There might be a reason why Mitsu uses bolts, maybe it rattled too much for even the fooligan's in the world as it surely isn't to make the car last more than 5 years. Just as soon as Jaguar sends over a diesel engine to our shores, I'll be sure to start comparing it to a diesel p/u. It would sure be nice to triple my mileage!

Re: Lancer Fail on Ebay
Heh, the XJR has some huge speed when its in gear. Shame it takes a week for it to shift up or down. Couldn't believe it when I started to pull hard on a modded EVO8 with my XJR on a downhill. No possible way did I want to try keeping up in the corners with the horrid tires it had, but for that modest straight...
Still not as funny as the night I took it to the drag strip. ESPN2 was there for some reason and doing the annoucing. Course first time I line up for the night is a Supra Mk4. Announcer Guy makes a crack about me bringing a jag to the drag strip. Tree drops and I launch with a modest braketorque and suprisingly there was no wheelspin. Couldn't say the same for the Supra who promply drops the clutch and goes no where. 13.6 seconds later I cross the line with little drama. Supra blows by just about then going 116 to my 104 trap. Lol. couldn't hear much of it but the annoucer guy was apparently making fun of the supra for that. Mind my XJR was bone stock, full tank of gas. |
