the pain of loss

Mar 26, 2009 11:31

so i've been thinking of a new car anyway. The audi just isn't my style, wrong color, wrong transmission, not enough power...etc etc. My thought was to get a 2006 or 2007 Subaru WRX, nothing crazy, but a little faster, a manual an AWD, a good car, and i would be satisfied with it, but i doubt i'd love it. Spring is coming and if i still had the 8 ( Read more... )

Hell, if it makes you feel good and it won't hurt you to do it, why not?

Life is too short.

Alternatively, there's always an Evo X...

nah they don't make those in manual...sure DSG is faster, but cmon i dont wanna sequentially downshift 5-2, theres something to be said about doing it naturally. the way the car would want it.

-Is- it unnatural, though, if they've geared the tranny and the computer for it? I think it's more like being translated into a different language.

i need a clutch lol. but anyway i can't afford the evo X nor would i want one, if im going to go for an evo the evo IX is better and faster with more modability.

go for it :) there's nothing wrong with going back to what you know you love. with people, that might be weird, but with cars it's normal. my whole family was a VW family for the longest time (rabbit, van, golf, passat, golf), so i get it. :)

you know if your audi were a manual i would take it off your hands in half a heartbeat... :)

ps if you know anyone trying to sell a manual in good condition, let me know. :)

I don't know man. I think you should mix it up if you do decide to get a new car. In any event here's one in a similar color to the old one. I liked the paint on the older one you had as opposed to this one though

your RX-8 I should say as opposed to "older one" I don't remember the model year yours was, it may have been newer.
