    Apparent for the next gen WRX, Subaru will be taking more styling cues from the sweet looking WRX concept (below) , too bad it was not done for this new current generation...

    WRX is officially off my 'buy' list. Just went back today for a deeper test drive, sales guy was a bit too arrogant for my liking. Talked to the manager and he was just a jackass, So I'm done with Subaru for now. (I filed a complaint with Subaru North America)

    Went over to VW to drive the GTI right after, they only had a DSG (no 6 speeds), drove it, car was refined, interior was well put together, but overall the drive was kinda dull.

    I think I'm gonna check out the M235i at BMW.

    Just test drove an S4...What a sweet ride, seats were fantastic, steering pin point accurate, sound was nice. (333hp supercharged V6)

    Not quite an S4 but I picked up a 1998 V6 Audi Quattro nice and cheap. Very happy with it so far. Lots of fun on tarmac and the dirt :D

    As long as it's Quattro, it's awesome!

    This video is fucking insane and could only be pulled off in Mexico. Technically it's not a car, but any auto enthusist will appreciate the skill level of Ballistic BJ Baldwins driving ...

    Is that the 348 you snapped earlier? Looks like the rain/wet road may of caught him out?
  • Posts: 8,711
    It is the same car, yeah. Not sure what happened. Someone I spoke with who was close behind said it barely started raining at the time, and there may have been another car involved.
    Who knows!

    I posted this before - I think it may fit in here - just thought I'd share again as it's quite interesting - seen this in MI. Lol.

    Hmmm, get some interior shots next time hahahh. What did the driver look like? I'm incredibly curious.

    One day, I'd like to buy a car to just 'Customize'...

    My dreams vehicles for that are a 911 Turbo, 90s NSX and a Honda Odyssey ((mini van)
