People get kinda scared when they ride with me on the freeway, they think the car's gonna blow I miss my old XT6 now Unfortunately had to scrap it due to paperwork issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I miss my DADs XT6, and i havent ridden in it since I was 13! I drive EXACTLY like you do, connie, but I have the trans the cracker does... 3AT fartbox. My foot is on the floor almost constantly. I limit myself to about ten over, sometimes less.. but sometimes more I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since I stopped driving the Z-car and started driving the soob, i LOVE it!!! My insurance is down to a ridiculously low monthly amount these days. I beat the snot out of my car, and give it every single little thing it asks for as soon as I possibly can. I have found that being proactive about the use, and renewal of every aspect of the car is the best way to keep it going well. Cars that get babied too much wind up as couch-potatoes.. atherosclerosis of the PCV system, doncha know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 When did i ever say your a puss? I don't think anyones a puss:lol: I'm just saying i do go 30 in a 25mph. I don't go putt putt.. When i wanted to get up to 45 in a 30 i did 4000rpm only took 2-3 seconds. Strange!? Don't you know that speeding leads to tickets. And tickets get expensive. I've had three in a years time. Cost=$900. Thats more than what I paid for my subaru, and twice what I paid for the old honda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Don't get me wrong. I do drive like an old man alot.. Some times doing 20 in a 25mph. But i'm not affraid to feed the gas to a limit.... And yep shes got A/C. But needs a recharge. No cold air.... I don't need it anyway. I'm a soob owner.. A man of the wilderness:lol: You live in WI. You don't need ac!! I wish I had ac sometimes down here in the south!! It was 95+ most of the summer and humid. Come to think of it, I've never owned a vehicle with working ac.

WoodsWagon Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 If you feel the need to post videos of subarus being beaten on that aren't yours, please post them up here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=68 Cluttering up the old gen with stupid videos of people beating cars is a PITA. There is a whole bunch of subaru abuse videos on Youtube, and before you guys find them and post them in individual threads, take it to another section of the board. Bemoaning the death of a crappy 80's car and thumping your chest about how they should all be preserved and how you love them to death is foolish. If you're on this board, it could be assumed that you like subarus. You don't need to prove to us how much you love them. And, I fully support beating the hell out of old vehicles. Loads of cars and trucks are sent to the junkyard in fully operational condidtion. This is a waste of potential when you could beat them, then put them in the junkyard. Plus, it's loads of fun killing a car. You just have to know how to do it right, don't hit the radiator or oil pan, everthing else is fair game.

Come to think of it, I've never owned a vehicle with working ac. Man that sounds like WI! That's pretty much what it was all summer.. I don't care about AC.. Open a window.
