Thought I'd bring this back up , couple months ago I bought this to keep the miles off the truck since I have this part time job while I'm in school that requires quite a bit of travelling, for example one afternoon alone I put on 300 miles in a couple hours. I do get paid mileage so I don't mind and it's not everyday either.


oh when I'm done with it, it'll be the basis under my 66 2-Door sedan Galaxie.

Thumbs up
Back in post #122 I said I wanted to get a Subaru Impreza. I stuck to my word and finally found one. But its even better than I originally planned.

2005 Subaru Impreza RS. It has 26k miles and I bought it for only $4,600. In Michigan they usually retail for around 10k with this low of mileage. So I got it for half the price. It was in an accident but I have already fixed most of the bodywork problems. This car has been amazing in the snow with the AWD.

Currently it is silver but next year I will be repairing all the body work and paint it blue. I love this car!

Bummer!!! The Malibu not too good for the work commute?

My daily is a 2000 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 ext cab. Z71,leather, heated seats,blah. blah. blah. I like it and the little 5.3 takes an asskicking every day and keeps going. This morning the e brake was frozen.(17*deg here this morning) Burnt E brake pads stink.

Thats a nice step up for sure. Not only will it get better gas mileage but it looks a heck of a lot better than the Camaro. I had a 95 Firebird 3.4 V6 and swapped to the 96 Formula V8 6 speed and got 30mpg on the highway. Much better gas mileage than the underpowered 3.4 V6.

My 05 Subaru Impreza is looking like a perfect investment. The thing is a beast in the snow with the AWD!!! Plus it just rides so nice. I love this car.
