Re: YESSSS....

I figured that the legacy will never be VIP, fast or reliable. The master cylinder was about to go out again, the CV boot was not replaced, just glued back together (mechanic could not find any replacements in WA), it was reving up by itself in between gears sometimes. This car is very nice, there are a few maintenace things i have to do and replace one of foglights, but overall it's a clean car, it has just one door ding the rest of the body is straight. I just have to find a day when it's not raining and apply some wax designed for black cars (the one that goes for like $40 a bottle), so it looks like a mirror ;)

Re: YESSSS....

Yes, the legacy was traded in...a strait trade too, which was awesome. So I don't have to worry about payments and start saving the money for coilovers and wheels.

Re: YESSSS....NOW WITH PICS no 56K

I actually had mine lifted to make the transition from subaru outback to this car go a bit smoother ;)

It will be a little while until the car is closer to the ground because i want to do wheels and suspension at the same time...otherwise it will look wierd on those 17's with +100000000000000 offset that I have right now.
