a STi-mulating birthday present (to myself)
Even as we speak, my plan to reduce the number of vehicles I own is progressing. Unfortunately, before taking a step forward, one must often take two steps back. To that end, I've purchased a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (and in that color, too). Any comments about the rear wing (no, it's not optional, and yes, it's functional), how many miles it can drive on a pound of Uncle Ben's Long Grain, or how many illegal immigrants I can hide in the hood scoop will probably be, umm, right on target. I defy you to find a car more fun to drive, though. This thing is a fucking ROCKET. Up next: divest myself of the Celica and the Camaro. Yes, I've only had the Camaro for 9ish months, but I've realized in that time that as a form of transportation it's not terribly practical, and I have neither the time nor the shop space to keep it as a tinkering car at the moment. On the upside, I should be able to get out of it more than I put into it. As far as the Celica is concerned, hell, I've saved enough money on gas driving that piece of shit that any money I get out of it is just gravy—or perhaps remunerations for my suffering (and that of my passengers). That will bring me down to the truck, the STi, the Ducati, and the V-Rod. I have a sneaking suspicion that my father really wants my truck (my first clue was when he said "I want your truck!"), so I might dip into single-car territory before the year's end. What is the world coming to? [ permalink | 4 comments ] I'm officially 24. Yes, this makes two birthday blog entries in a row where I've made reference to that cartoon. So what? Wanna fight about it?
