heh thats just a little bit out of my price range

Just dropped him a line. I just realized the auction ends in 7 hours so I asked him for some information. I'll bid up to like 200 bucks if he gets back to me. M

Thanks for the info guys. I will keep an eye on the price. Its a shame you can't shoot .357 out of it like you can do in the opposite situation. He's not to far from me, so I might have to see if I can set up an appt with him. M

well driving the scoob is out of the question. It takes premium gas and gets between 25-27 mpg. AKA my monthly gas bill would be about what I am spending now with the jeep. Plus the scoob has a 130k on the clock and honestly I don't see it having a very much longer life. It needs a clutch Water pumper Timing belt Idler tensioner CV shaft tires etc. trust me, the list goes on, if you've ever seen this car you'd understand why it is not cost effective for me to keep this car. The 9,000 that I owe is kind of a long term loan. It was used when I bought my jeep and some other things. When I sell the wrx, all that money will go to that loan, and then I'll just pay off the rest of it with monthly payments. When I sell the jeep, I'll probably take some money from that to pay off the rest of that loan, and take the remainder and put it towards the new car loan from my mom. So what it really comes down to is, spend 8500 and get a car that works but not something I terribly enjoy. Or spend 14k and get something that I really want that'll last me a long time. Oh and nothing is wrong with the legacy, its just how subaru gearboxes are setup. They put 5spds in cars that really should be 6spds. At 40 mpg I belive in 4th gear its sitting at about 2200. In 5th gear at 60, it sits at 2k. That is typical rpm's in a subaru, my WRX did the same thing. 5th gear at 75 is 3k rpm right on the nose, its the same in both cars. The clutch still has a lot of life left in it too. Thanks for the imput thus far guys!

Whats everyone's opinion on them. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.a ... =143005257 Can you should .357 out of these like you can't shoot .38 out of a .357?

Yeah I was really shocked I'm not a big fan of the legacy since I love how my wrx feels and its made by the same people and almost the same platform. Luckily my choices are extremely limited due to my mpg restriction. I need a vehicle that is going to cost me between 6 and 7 cents a mile. The legacy came in at 7.5 cents. Only other car that can really do that is a honda, and well I just can't own one of them so their out of the question. I do on average 2200 miles a month so mpg is quite important. I have a feeling I'm going to get the jetta as just reading my post I can tell I want the jetta. I just need to justify it to myself that its worth the extra coin. Thanks for the response.

Ditto. They stopped enforcing that law about 10 years ago and I have no idea why. But I've seen it a million times, someone driving slow in the fast lane, causing the person behind them to get "road rage" and then doing something stupid to get in front of them. Just today I saw some guy in a Mercedes go from the fast lane to the slow lane and back to get in front of that person. Now what he did wasn't right but he wouldn't of done it, if this schmuck learned to stay right.

Ok so this is probably going to be long so I apologize in advance but I need some more advice. Backstory: I currently owe my parents about 9000 dollars. The deal was when I sold the WRX I would pay them back. Now my so called assest are my: 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX which I want to sell between 6500-7500 dollars 1998 Jeep Cherokee which I want between 5500-6500 dollars. Now my first option to buy was a 05-06 Jetta TDI. I was looking to spend between 14-16k. We'll get back to that in a minute. My buddy just bought a truck and is looking to get rid of his 05 Subaru Legacy 2.5i. Its got 67,100 on the clock and its a manual. Just had the: Timing belt etc replaced New Battery New Alternator New Cat replaced by subaru warranty It's a manual, I drove manual for 5 years, havn't drove it for about 6 months and I havn't missed it at all. I drive a lot in traffic and I do enjoy my auto cars but I can take it or leave it not a big deal breaker. The bad to me The radio is a little weird, for some reason it doesn't get great reception in west milford area. I despise the gear box, anything over 40mph makes 4th gear useless so its around town gear is 5th. Because of this anything over 60 in 5th rev's the crap outta the motor. The ergonomics of the car are definitely off which is weird b/c the ergonomics of my WRX are spot on. So I was kinda disappointed about that but I guess I could live with it. Its also cloth interior, so no headed seats none of that jazz The good It drives excellent handles great, its a super quiet car to drive. Heat works extremely well (thats a plus) Overall its a good car. He said he'd sell it to me for 8500, kbb on it is like 9500, their selling for like 10k on autotrader. Now my mom said regardless of what car I bought she'd loan me money up to 15-16k and I would just make monthly payments to her instead of a bank. So my options right now are, wait and see if I can find a Jetta that I want, or get this Legacy. The legacy gets between 27 & 30 mpg using regular gas which works out to about 190 a month in gas. The jetta gets between 40-45 consistently giving me a gas bill of about 130 due to using diesel. Now thats based on my current mileage, obviously when I'm not in school I don't do that much driving so the price difference would be less. The insurance on the Jetta would be more compared to the Legacy which is another downside. But for the Jetta. I really like how the car drives, it fits my body size great, all the controls fit me. The seats are wonderful (I'm not a fan of the legacy's seats). Also the Heat and AC are fantastic in diesel vehicles. The Jetta is also fully loaded with leather and heated seats and the one's I've been looking at have a sun roof big plus for me. So what I am trying to figure out is, would I be justifed to myself spending the extra money and getting the Jetta, or should I suck it up and just get the cheaper car and deal with it? Thoughts comments etc greatly appreciated.

Ohhh man another engineer haha I'm convinced everyone is either an engineer or a builder or an architect Welcome to the forums, you will find we are just a big ole family so don't be shy. Just watch out for Chad he's a little strange, and Tiny could accidentally eat your fingers but besides that you shouldn't have any problems

huh sounds like a great improvement over the gsg. Did you get it for the 499 msrp or a better price? M

well were just trying to keep this topic fresh until he posts back. But I think he actually got lost in the woods since we havn't had an update in hours. Do you think we should call the park rangers yet to go look for him. Or do you think he got a huge buck and their out celebrating??

you need to put newer pictures up on FB as I think you are farther along than that. Looking good, I see you knocked it down to the foundation. Makes life so much easier sometimes. Question those straps that are attached to the exterior plywood, hurricane straps?? M

Is this yours Dan or a project house. Sounds like fun, you should get me pictures

HAHAHAHA oh man, if we had a laughing smiley face that was crying would be me right now. Ahhhh I needed that boost since I'm sitting at school. And we all know that an Architects details make total sense, its the contractor that can't read them is where the problem is.

Long day - hung a pocket door. Pretty filthy and exhausted, and had to avoid flooding too. It took you all day to hang a pocket door?? Poor dan, I guess you should of consulted an architect before tackling that job

I disagree, we are skipping over the word of the day for the remainder of this week because I took the cake and got the word of the week with laziness

That sir was the lamest sentence ever. You should of made time for a detour!

or the last time. General concensus from the hunters I've talked to. They have seen little to no deer, and a crap load of beer. But of course, NJ doesn't have a bear problem, so these guys must be lying......

So little words, but oh so much truth

I wish I could get out there. Every flippin weekend something comes up. This is really gotta stop, I need to have to, want to get a deer this year. There is no way I'm not getting one. I need to make a list of like a million people that are good deer hunters so whenever I get a free day I'm guaranteed to find someone who is going out so that I can come along and learn the ropes grrr

or moson expert http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.a ... =142892723

An't that the truth, and I usually find stuff for EVERYONE ELSE except myself. grrrrrr

hmmmm maybe while I watch you stack firewood, I'll just sit in a lawn chair with my bowie knife and see if he wants to wrestle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH now that right there is funny. He really doesn't run away from you huh?
