Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 05, 2009 8:18 am) Well I went from about 198 (last summer) to about 214 (early February), to about 207 (yesterday). So I'm finally moving in the right direction. My goal for the end of this month, is to get back to ~ 200. My ultimate goal is to get to about 180, or less.

#30880 of 31406 Pine Derby Results by ateixeira Mar 20, 2009 (12:08 pm)
Well, we raced about 3 times, and usually came in 2nd place. Not slow but not fast either, just middle of the road. I kept Mario in the car. The kids loved it. They started chanting "Go Mari-O, Go Mari-O, Go Mari-O", it was hysterical. So while we didn't win the race, we did win the "Most Humorous" award, and my son was a bit of a celebrity for a couple of hours. It was definitely, without a doubt, the crowd favorite. Cool experience, though it took a looooong time for all the cars to run, and the wife says she's staying home next year.
#30881 of 31406 Edmunds Car of the Week: STi by tsy Mar 20, 2009 (4:35 pm)
Hey, the STi has been Edmunds car of the week. Suffice it to say, they pretty much hate the car. I'm not sure if it's because they expect more or did Subaru not pay their advertisement bills! It's also amazing how many people like to bash Subarus. And they think people who like subarus are weirdos or stupid or something. Anyway, it's hard to take these editors seriously when they are having a hard time shifting the STi- it's not that hard of a car to drive! Maybe they're just spoiled? Oh well, it's been a frustrating week and I'll be glad when they pick another car and get rid of the STi. tom Replies to this message: rsholland (Mar 21, 2009 7:00 am) tsy (Mar 21, 2009 1:22 pm) kyfdx (Mar 22, 2009 7:11 am) and 3 more... ateixeira (Mar 25, 2009 11:55 am)

Replying to: tsy (Mar 20, 2009 4:35 pm) I've never seen a vehicle (or brand for that matter) in which there is so much hate—or love! There's no middle ground with the STI, or Subaru. People are violently—yes VIOLENTLY! passionate, one way or the other. LOVE IT OR HATE IT, that's just the way it is... Sort of like a reflection of what's going on in the world today: liberals vs. conservatives; democrats vs. republicans; jews vs. muslims; east vs. west; etc. It's a shame really.

Replying to: rsholland (Mar 21, 2009 7:00 am) I agree with you Bob, but I thought the new STi was supposed to bring it a little more 'mainstream'. I don't think Subaru did a good job of this but there is an incredibly amount of negativity towards the STi by the Edmunds editors beyond what is reasonable. I just don't think a lot of their comments are objective. And they aren't terribly willing to see beyond their biases. I understand I'm biased but I try to keep an open mind about all cars. I just think there are too many editors that really hate the car. It really is a shame. tom Replies to this message: kyfdx (Mar 22, 2009 7:11 am) rsholland (Mar 22, 2009 10:09 am) p0926 (Mar 22, 2009 9:38 pm) tsy (Mar 22, 2009 3:15 pm) ateixeira (Mar 25, 2009 11:55 am)

Replying to: tsy (Mar 21, 2009 1:22 pm) Maybe it's because Subaru owners are so passionate about their vehicles, that they perceive more negativity than there actually is? Just one observation...
