I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

She did look like she could use some potassium.

The new Mustang has four hundred twenty horsepower and cost $30k

but only 2 doors.

dude does your Subaru's A/C blow weak (unlike your mistress ) ...

pops in laws FOrester is like a Trabant when it comes to cooling the cabin.

 

[dorian gray]

heheh

The Outback's A/C is pretty good. I can't complain. I have to use recirc though...otherwise it has trouble cooling air brought in from outside vents

 

[NAD]

I wonder what the Mustang AC is like...

 

[dorian gray]

lurch should get one and then tell us

 

[lurch70]

right now I really want to dump my car and get a dirt cheap but reliable SUV for a few years.

 

[dorian gray]

A 1984 Chevy Blazer should run you about $250 but then there's the whole reliability issue

 

[lurch70]

well ... there is a repair shop on EVERY block here ...

 

[NAD]

Which MINI are you currently rocking? I love owning an SUV, but I hate driving them. Great when you need them, booooooooring the other 348 days a year.

 

[dorian gray]

unless they're hella comfy

 

[lurch70]

son of a bitch ...

[einride]

couldnt they have crammed 4 more hp out of it

 

[lurch70]

or improve the interior so it doesn't look like a $49 Avis Rental car?

but man ... HP!!!!

 

[lurch70]

did anyone buy a new car yet?

that's what I thought ...

here ... Russia wins AGAIN

 

[dorian gray]

thinking about buying my mother in laws '99 S70...she's getting a new car

 

[lurch70]

how much is she selling it for? I'll take it.

BTW ... those of you with Subaru motor vehicles past/present.
what is a legit online source for OEM parts like brake pads, etc.???

I see a lot of generic named websites like https://www.subaruonlineparts.com, http://www.subarugenuineparts.com, etc, that to me reek of scams ... maybe I am wrong?!?!?

 

[dorian gray]

I've ordered stuff for the Outback from various online sources and distances (I remember something getting shipped from Washington state) but lately I just drive down the street to Auto Zone. I give no fucks.

The S70...she told me to make her an offer to which I replied with "you tell me what you want". I don't really know how much it's worth. Couple grand maybe. It's a classy, comfortable car and I'd hate to see her trade it in for next to nothing.

 

[dorian gray]

also...those websites you mentioned seem like bunk. I've checked them out a few times and each time I just feel like I'm at some generic junkyard...not the Sube specialty shop they'd like you to think they are.

 

[NAD]

I used to buy from http://www.subaruwrxparts.com/ all the time. It's some big Subaru dealer back east, great prices.

Now I buy from some Mazda dealer in Arkansas with a website called something like http://www.mazdafuckinkicksass.com/

Apparently the Big Thang is to have scam-worthy WWW names to sell cheap OEM parts.
