mostly the sound of the supercharger whine and the addicting sound of it. not to mention it had a great exhaust burble when downshifting ... straight from the factory.
otherwise, yes, the turbo IS better and the new engines are more fuel efficient and more "refined".

congrats on selling the Subie so fast. although there is always a good market for them.

... this work ethic seems pretty rampant across Europe. A client of mine just got back from Hungary. He has pretty deep ties with the gov't and was telling me that the general thinking of the working class is typically "hey it's 3pm, the sun is shining, why am I working?"

anyway, check this article about Fiat:

what's it like around where you Eurodudes/ettes live?
 
Thanks for the tips, Aurel. I was actually thinking about a brand new one but was immediately put off by the MSRP. $20,000 for a 118 hp car? COME ON.
I'll have to check out the '06 like you suggested.

The search continues.
 
So my new car has 317 miles and I already had to buy a brand new tire since I shredded a sidewall last night. Fuck whatever asshole that unloaded a broken 2x4 onto the freeway.

Jury duty next week. Financial hardship excuse was answered: Request Denied.

Some fuzz pedal I sent to Canada got returned because apparently I put my return address in "Arabic Numerals and/or Roman Letters."

Oh, and the doctor thinks Grammaw has cancer.

:kickass:
 
Sorry to hear about the slew of bad news. I can relate...

I had an object fly up and drop $1300 worth of damage on the 300. It was either thrown from the car in front of me or kicked up by them running it over. Either way, pain in my ass. 4 days without the car in the very near future.

Oh, and the doctor thinks Grammaw has cancer.

The doc thinks I have cancer. My thyroid is coming out August 17. Good times.
 
Freeways suck. But cancer is much worse. :(

Best of luck to you mang. Grammaw is 90 and has lived a damn good life. You haven't been here long enough yet.
 
I spent the day in Hollywood Hills last year, some famous photographer's house whom I didn't know was famous until after leaving, whoops.

I don't fall for The LA Crap very much, but god damn, being up in them thar hills is really fuckin' cool.

Gah, when will people learn? WORK LESS, LIVE MORE.
 
I'd like to feel your woman troubles.

That sentence is supposed to be funny, but I just woke up from an accidental beer nap.
 
And my fucking check engine light is on.

Man I hate to hear your troubles, but this seriously had me LOLing.

I have no advice to give. But it's funny that most guys have trouble dumping girls (you know, generally somewhat concerned about their wellbeing afterwards, letting them off easy, being a NICE PERSON) while women are cold as fvck.
 
Hmmm....so this isn't working out so well for ol' dorian. The gf has gone off the deep end a little bit and says she kinda wants to die. As in: she wouldn't mind if she did.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......that's flattering but are we 16 or something? Am I *that* awesome? Well, OK, we know the answer to that but seriously, wtf, dudes? Someone tell me what to do here.
Dorian if you ever left me I'd kill myself. :loco:

The last big breakup I did she was all fucked up over it, I can still see the look on her face and it makes me feel a little bad even 7 years later, but at the same time...

haha, true. Men don't get any feelings until they dump them, but when women are done they are DONE. Said broad that I dumped, after we spent a month winding down she was over it and left me hanging pretty bad. I probably got into what happened on RC somewhere, but maybe not because man, I hit a loooooooow point and acted quite the fool. The April Fool even. Although I do remember lurch summing up my situation them years ago when he said "NAD still has his I Lost My Girlfriend beard." :tickled:

What was I saying? Oh yeah, women are evil.
 
Eh, fuckit, I have no shame:

So after I broke up with her, I spent a month trying to Be A Nice Guy, which of course stupidly lead to me wanting to get back with her. Things were okay for the first month, but after that she was over it and completely ignored me. At one point I, quite inebriated, drove to her apartment at 3am to wait for her to get off work (she worked nights, normally got home at 7am). I slept in my car in front of her place and of course, she "had to work overtime" so never showed up at home, surely avoiding the crazy stalker asshole snoring in his own ride. I gave up at 8am, drove to the Chevron down the street, took a shit, and bought some donuts to sooth my hangover.

After that there was zero contact from her, although at least once a week I would get HAMMERED and call her, incessantly, just like a fucking moron, to which she would never answer, respond, or do anything other than completely ignore me. After about 2 months she finally returned my call OMG SO EXCITING. I picked up the phone and it was a dude calling from her phone. He didn't really say much, but the message was clear: Fuck off. Now. So, I did.

Unfortunately, a year or so later she contacted me and we started dating again. That was pointless, stupid, and shitty, but I only put up with it for about a month before getting rid of her. Then after a month, she called on me again, and I of course obliged. WTF LEARN YOUR LESSON, ASSHOLE. She was an evil bitch for about 3 weeks and then I finally had enough. My last contact with her was when she called on my birthday and I looked at my phone like it was a cat turd instead of answering it. Funny how I only had to ignore her once before she disappeared.

Women are evil, but men are dumb.

Soy chorizo is seriously 99% the same as the real stuff, just without the ground up salivary glands. Time for breakfast.
 
I've had a chick grab a big bottle of tylenol and threaten to swallow them all and another chick who actually drove 50mph into a telephone pole after I broke up with them. Of course it led me to getting back with them until maybe 3 weeks later I smartened up and acted like a total dickhead to 'em as well as just finding new vuheena to sink my dipstick in.
