GDA

02.07.2015 – I sold the car in October 2014 after picking up my FRS, but Andrew has since recovered it.  His vision is somewhat different than mine though, so between mending various injuries and adding his own flare, the car transforms.

Lame how I can’t leave well enough alone.  Once raped, always a whore.  It was supposed to stay stock, or at the worst an ultra light tune.  It is now the least street able car I have ever tried to street… and it’s all because I was super randy when she was at her most vulnerable.  Taking a 3000lb AWD car with 300hp, big scrub radius, welded diff, ultra light flywheel, heavy clutch and no power steering for groceries, is like taking a girl with beads in her ass out to Olive Garden.

Not that the car looks particularly hard tune, or really is even, but I’ve hit it where it counts.  At least it drives on ice better than anything else I’ve ever driven… and I’ve driven a LOT of cars on ice.

Plan is to pull the beads out and take her to Church.

I’m rocking this.  It’s totally stock, and actually a blast.  To date, I think the two best dailies I’ve ever had were my RNN14 Pulsar and my NCP12 Echo.  These are two extremely different cars, but what they do share is a pretty upright driving position and oodles of headroom.  The WRX gives that too… and combines a good chunk […]

I know very few middle aged men of meager wealth that are passionate about anything except family, religion or work.  Mine is dying hard, although I’m doing my best to imagine that is not.  It’s not like I’m considering buying a Honda Accord or a Diesel Truck.  It’s just that a Honda Accord can be a very sensible, affordable and […]
