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.

Thanks lol. It's soooooo much better than the Camaro in every way.

That's a sweet deal on your Subaru, I thought they were pretty expensive? $4600 seems like a steal to me for that mileage.

What's sad is when you know how to work the spotlight.

2003 Lightning most days, 2010 SS Camaro the others.

Now why doesn't that surprise me..

The nice thing was during training when we had to play the bad guys and get handcuffed, I have wide shoulders and no flexibility so the instructors always had me take off the handcuffs before getting in. I've pushed some pretty big boys....and girls into the back of those things.

I got rid of the Vibe here about a month ago and picked up an '06 Honda Accord Hybrid. I won't post a pic of the outside because it has some ghettofabulous wheels on it right now. I picked up some 18" mesh wheels but I am still shopping for tires. I am currently looking for some Acura TL A-spec suspension to bring it down just a little. I have put about 1500 miles on it so far and I am averaging 35 mpg. Considering it is faster than the Vibe and is getting 5 mpg better it's a win win for me. I'll be taking her to Fontucky sometime next year to see if I can get her into the 14's.
