#22528 of 31395 Thanks for the greetings by miksmi Oct 14, 2004 (7:24 am)
Thanks, I came back to the board to report on a GT test drive. Man, that thing is fast! Compared to a 2.0l WRX, I'm surprised at the smoothness of the GT's turbo. I convinced my wife to test drive a GT. She's leaning toward an A4 or 330xi because she prefers their styling and evidently high repair bills. She also wants a sedan because "No household needs two wagons." How impractical she is! I'm still driving the 93 Civic. If we do get a new car, my wife will get the new ride and I'll inherit the 00 Legacy GT wagon. No Hutch, I never finished the home theater project. I ended up using the machine a file server and the project went on the back burner. BTW the last time I dropped off the face of the earth, I had switched from Internet Exploder to Opera. edmunds didn't work with with Opera, so I bagged it. I'm not using Firefox, which edmunds seems to like. ..Mike Replies to this message: KarenS (Oct 14, 2004 8:00 am) kens (Oct 14, 2004 9:25 am)
#22529 of 31395 Redsox vs. Yankees by miksmi Oct 14, 2004 (7:27 am)
As my wife is from Boston, I root for the Sox. It's going to be a tough series (for the Sox). ..Mike Replies to this message: bigelm (Oct 14, 2004 7:36 am) volkov (Oct 14, 2004 10:00 am) bigelm (Oct 14, 2004 11:55 am) wrxrallyer (Oct 14, 2004 12:41 pm) and 1 more... p0926 (Oct 14, 2004 4:08 pm)

Replying to: miksmi (Oct 14, 2004 7:27 am) With their 2 clutch pitchers performing the way they did, it will be very tough. Don't get me wrong, this year's BoSox are better than last yr. but BoSox's pitching have crippled. And while we struggled during the season, our pitching performance have improved greatly in the post-season. You can tell, this Sox team looks gloomy and concerned! But hey, don't spit up in the air when it can fall back on your face... (spanish phrase translated).

Replying to: miksmi (Oct 14, 2004 7:24 am) Hey, Mike, good to see your typeface. I've used Opera for Edmunds and have not had any problems. Still using an older version of Firefox and should upgrade, but just haven't gotten around to it.
#22532 of 31395 What's not pratical... by thecat Oct 14, 2004 (8:24 am)
I have a periodic need to haul things. The Forester was pretty good at accommodating that need and when something was too large I pulled a small trailer. With only one vehicle now, I find the need for utility more of a requirement than going fast. Admittedly going fast puts a bigger smile on your face but it doesn't get a piece of plywood home. - Hutch
#22533 of 31395 Go Sox!!!!!!!!!! by tsy Oct 14, 2004 (8:35 am)
I just want the Yankees to lose and the curse to be broken! Looks like it'll be tough this year though. Mike, sounds like your wife gets the new car and gives hers to you. Shouldn't you take turns getting new cars? tom
#22534 of 31395 Hutch by c_hunter Oct 14, 2004 (9:10 am)
Sounds like a Legacy GT wagon is the natural upgrade path for you. Pretty much all the fun of the WRX with more room. Forester XT (and Outback XT) are also fast and fun, but aren't in the same handling league as the WRX and Leg GT.
#22535 of 31395 Defending the Forester by ateixeira Oct 14, 2004 (9:19 am)
Hutch wants another Forester, he rarely if ever uses all the power his WRX offers, and remember his WRX is a sedan. He misses the practicality of the Forester! Don't try to talk him out of it, the Forester is the Best Vehicle on the Planet! :o) Got plywood? No problem, I've strapped 5 sheets at one time to my roof rack. Got fencing? Also no problem. Even 6'x8' sections fit on my roof rack, 2 at a time. Double dresser, extra-depth? No problem. Rack. Oversize clothes washer? No problem. Fit even with the box with the hatch closed. The Legacy is, to quote Lucien's earlier remarks about a Passat, "too nice" for jobs like that. Forester is perfect. -juice Replies to this message: volkov (Oct 14, 2004 9:49 am) lark6 (Oct 14, 2004 10:41 am) kens (Oct 14, 2004 12:51 pm) and 1 more... p0926 (Oct 14, 2004 4:18 pm)

Replying to: miksmi (Oct 14, 2004 7:24 am) Mike, You're still driving that 93 Civic when I met you a few years ago with Loosh and Bob at Petit Louis for lunch? Bob already had his wife's relatively new Forester. Loosh got a FXT. I just got a Legacy GT wagon. You're up next! Ken

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 14, 2004 9:19 am) Well, his mistake was buying a WRX sedan instead of the WRX wagon which is actually the greatest car on the planet. I have a roof rack too you know. Very little your Forester can do that Rex can't....except look boring and boxy. BWAHAHA!!!
